A reasonable subject, but could it be prompted by the opportunity to use the Millipede phrase “the squeezed middle”?

On the fivelive blog there is a post which proclaims this.
“Last week in the Independent Jane Thynne wrote a thoughtful piece about BBC radio programmes that you can watch online”
One of the comments enquires as to whether Jane Thynne works for the BBC a point which is somehow missing from the post. The reply says.
“Jane Thynne is a freelancer. She started her career at the BBC but has not been on staff for a long time. Jane occasionally contributes to Radio 4 programmes. There’s more info on her website.”
