ironically Linekar is actually one of these hard left champagne socialist social justice warriors. I wonder if he'll give up half his salary to be distributed amongst some of the women?

Claudia still earns more than a vast majority of males in the UK
Maybe we should have everyone be on 400k a year so it's all fair ?

Yep.
Salaries are usually based on the "Value" someone brings to the table. Someone who is more famous and has more of a history will of course command a higher wage..... that's generally how any job works. A senior software developer whether male or female will earn more than a junior developer.....
This wage gap nonsense is such ********.
To be fair if that's the case then I hope they slash his wage by 50% and distribute it to the woman. I can't stand virtue signalling celebrities anymore who fuel the hysteria.

What price a self-identifying Transgender Gary Lineker? That should shut up the chattering classes.

No let's be really honest.
Gary liniker dominates every other star by salary regardless of gender.
And let's be really really honest, people would still watch match of the day if it had no commentary team and just showed highlights.
What else is it competing against at 10:30pm on saturday night?

How some of those are paid so much boggles the mind.
The solution is simple....
Men enmasse need to identify as butch lesbian trans women who eschew gender reassignment surgery or hormonal treatments.
Then continue as normal but the gender pay gap disspears and if any feminist objects start screaming at them about being a bigoted TERF.

Can anyone name any women who have the same years of experience and knowledge of their field to replace any of those people?
The only ones I can see who are immediately replaceable is Nicky Campbell and Nick Grimshaw. They're literally just a talking head presenters.

This.
I don't really see the point in paying people mid-six figures to read the news, I'm sure there are plenty of competent journalists/presenters out there who would be able to do it.
I can see why a household name will attract more people to say a chat show or perhaps a well liked actor can help ensure a drama is a success etc.. but I don't think people tune into say BBC news because Huw is reading from the autocue tonight.

I hate it when they compare tv/radio/actors salaries. Even if they were working the same hours, their personalities and expertise is what people tune into.
1 presenter could pull in x amount of viewers/listeners, while soneone else could pull in a lot more, so why shouldn't they earn more if they are bringing in the audience.
That being said, all of the salaries seem ridiculous for what they do, but I guess If it wasn't BBC, it would be someone else willing to pay.

This is just a list of wages. There is no context to it without working hours and how much money they are generating for the BBC.
There is no point paying X female presenter a massive wage when very few people watch the show. Or they don't have the experience to really know what they are talking about.
I mean...who watches loose women? Probably just British women who don't work during the day. Vs how many watch Graham Norton or the world cup, which are broadcast around the world?

The BBC are relatively stingy when it comes to wages
Piers Morgan earns £22.5million doing ITV's breakfast show

Yes £22.5million for chatting **** 5 days a week in the morning and being a bell end

Alan Shearer is the worst footy pundit ever. How they want him I don't know. Tries very hard to be moody, or maybe he just is now being an old trump

Men are better at most things than women so they should get paid more?

The BBC propaganda machine is the mouthpiece of the establishment i.e. The Rich Boys' Club. If you're not white / male / middle-aged / fox hunter / ass-kisser, then you get written out of the history books.
Fixed that for you.
It’s a simple fact that women, and minorities, are systematically underpaid and undervalued. Sure, posting the top earners without analysing the data to see perhaps hours worked is an issue but the fact remains. Sexism is rife and women are constantly overlooked for promotion and underpaid. We need to talk about that and fix it as it’s simply wrong.
What’s also missing is none of the BBC Studio produced programmes are included in the figures.

Actually, assuming that the law of Supply and Demand works, women and minorities would be in greater demand and would be valued more highly and therefore could command greater remuneration.

But they're not actually doing that. They're advocating for more for their favoured group identities. It's the same thing that irrationally prejudiced people have always advocated. These ones are just more politically astute and dress it up a little better.
Advocating that people get at least as much pay for less reason (fewer hours worked, better working conditions, less viewer attraction, whatever) because they have the "right" group identity is not equality in any sense, not even equality of outcome.
If its a simple fact to show that women for example are systematically underpaid it should be easy to post sources showing that women are actually unpaid and showing how significant the 'systemic' bit is when you undertake a multi variable analysis to remove any other variables other then sex alone?
Oh and by the way doing you own housework and looking after your own children isn't work to be considered in the same sense as going out to work for someone else who pays you a wage.
