O/T BBC Champagne Socialist Pay RISES !!!!!

[MillerBill]

This has gone too far.These people are the modern day Robin Hoods in reverse.They have been so arrogant and smug.The latest announcement with alarming salary figures are a disgrace.On top of this they are trying to camouflage other huge salaries probably disguising what tax they are paying.This organisation is in the same league as the EU on integrity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which ones are "socialist" then? Some are mates of the discredited Tony Blair possibly . I don't suppose the ordinary technicians, canteen staff, etc , are getting massive salaries or pay rises.

That's a good one, I'll try to think of one.

EDIT: So far, Michael Portillo believes the referendum result should be carried out but he voted Remain in the referendum so not quite.

When the majority of the people voted to come out of this horrible institution,I can't think of any presenter supporting the people's wishes when it was decided.A vote which recorded the highest ever turnout.So why does the BBC not represent the way of the people.They're too focused on agreeing unjustified pay increases for each other.

Have to agree Bill its quite sickening

I wonder how much Piers Morgan ,Susannah Reid
Lorraine Kelly,Jim White,Gabby Logan etc [the list is endless] are being paid
Make no mistake we as viewers pay in the end through Sky/BT/Virgin subscriptions & the products we buy that are advertised thereon
These TV companies are no better [In fact worse] Just watch as your subscription continues to rise mid contract but hey that's ok because they are private companies As Kerr often reminds us someone has to pay somewhere as no such thing as a free lunch [or words to that effect]

You have a choice upon whether to take out a Sky/BT/Virgin subscription, Zyles. If you take one out, then, yes, you have to pay.

Oh that's alright then so you actually agree that the practices of Sky /BT /Viigin are ok?
By the same token if you want to watch tv at all you need a licence You have a choice buy a licence or don't watch

With the BBC highest paid performers list you also have to factor in the hidden payments.

Graham Norton for example, listed at £610k per year, however this is only his direct pay. The production company that makes The Graham Norton Show is called So Television and was at one time owned by Norton but he sold it. Part of the agreement however is that Norton still does presenting for them. In 2015, he was paid £2.52million in “presenter fees, production fees and royalties” from that production company. The BBC still commissions and broadcasts the GN Show and pays So TV to do it. This means that the BBC pays GN indirectly to present the GN Show, this on top of the £610k they pay him directly.
