Re: 3 million quid
BBC does not know the meaning of decency and the use of other peoples monies, it will take away a pensioner's TV Licence whilst paying its news readers vast salaries anything from £200,000 to £600,000, in addition they are allowed to take outside speaking commitments at £5 - 10,000 for a morning/afternoon/evening engagement as long as it does not infringe the integrity of the BBC's impartiality
These very people state that they would not mind paying the TV licence fee when they retire, They may just be able to afford to!

Re: 3 million quid
Obviously the Biased British Broadcasting station is no better than the Always Biased Corporation here in Oz.
Not sure about the rate of pay but the quality of reporters is dismal to say the least.
The head of the company was at one time a two bit show time host, and the question is why does such a person get paid more than the PM???
Of course he only manages the country, this lady manages a heap of crap.
But if the Norton you refer to is the one who had a bit of a show of some kind, we have seen it here in Oz, then I can understand the anger.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: 3 million quid
That we'll known leftie Gary Lineker who is always berating the Government is being chased for £5m in back taxes.
Lineker set up a production company in 2012 in which all his earnings are channelled. By doing this he reduces his tax bill to twenty percent.
The tax man claims that he is an employee and should pay higher rate of tax.
Just love when these self righteous Barstewards get their come uppance.

Vic I think a few have been caught up in that tax thing , was it something to do with investing in so called film production company that would make a loss and they could write of those losses against there taxes, it was a scam that greedy high earners got sucked into by even more greedy operators lol, hell slap it up them lol.
