    The insanity continues and the BBC is well up in these stakes.
    I just read that Claudia Winkleman is taking over a Radio 2 programme from Graham Norton who is going to Virgin ---it doesn't say how much she is being paid, however, last year she was paid (not earned) £375,000 ---that is £7211.50 per week ------for what?

    Graham Norton was paid over £750,000 last year for his BBC work ----almost £14,500 per week!

    With money like that, surely they should be running the country because they must be important and know much more than any politician!

    The Chief of the Air Staff was paid £190,000 ---mind you he doesn't have any responsibility so doesn't warrant being paid more than BBC presenters. All bloody insane!

    It’s much worse than that.
    Norton’s BBC salary only pays for his BBC Radio show and Eurovision.
    His Friday show gets him an extra £92k per episode x 31 episodes pa paid via the Production company.
    He’s written books too

    Claudia also earns an undisclosed amount as an ambassador for Head & Shoulders.

    Boris runs the country for £150k

    Sir Keir gets £137k for doing little but opposing him.

    Aye, when you think of insanity and this sort of thing you realise that you would not like to be in a tight spot and relying on any of these people to step up to the plate --they would want to know what was in it for them before doing anything.
