The only one which really sticks out for me is Alan Shearer on 400 grand. He's not even on every week and his punditry is Thierry Henry level basic gibberish. Graham Norton is worth every penny though.
I find the whole idea of publishing their pay packets as pretty disgusting, to be honest. But then again, you've got to hand it to the Tories -- it's a great way to get the Sun-reading great unwashed all bent out of shape. The public (read: idiot public) will turn against the BBC because God-forbid anyone earns over £40k, all the stars will leave (competitors now know exactly how much to offer them) and it'll all go down the pan. Quite a brilliant strategy really.
I find it disgusting that the BBC are being so blatantly singled-out and bullied by the government in a not-so-subtle way to turn public opinion against the BBC, make the talent leave and run it into the ground. Why aren't we shown the salaries of everyone in the NHS? I don't mean the nurses etc. that are common knowledge.. I mean the executives at the top of the tree that are invisible to the public. Why aren't we shown all the salaries for execs at RBS that we half-own? They showed us some of them but if they looked at everyone in banking earning over £150k I think people's jaws would have to be surgically re-instated. The whole thing is just pathetic.Why do you find it disgusting out of interest? I mean is that disgust strictly confined to the BBC or do you disagree with it in general for people in the public sector? AFAIK this is just bringing the BBC in line with other public organisations that reveal the pay of their highest paid employees.
Yeah..The sooner all media is free with wall to wall adverts, like the USA, the sooner sanity will be restored.

Did you mean Tunbridge Wells?Public shocked to discover media talent exists in a market place. Hold the presses!
I'd do Lineker's job for 20k. I don't know anything about football, and Sky haven't expressed an interest in paying me in small islands recently, but I'm sure I could bluff my way through Match of the Day. Does Eric Bristow still play for Spurs?
And I'm shocked to find someone as pretty... I mean, talented as Tess Daly isn't paid just as much as Lineker. Clear evidence of sexism at the morally corrupt Beeb. Her insight and choreographic exposition on Strictly is breathtaking to observe. The sooner all media is free with wall to wall adverts, like the USA, the sooner sanity will be restored.
Yours,
Disgusted, Tonbridge Wells
