BBC fatcats

[DimPrawn]

THE BBC was last night engulfed in a new scandal— over a staggering £14.3 MILLION paid in salaries to management fatcats.

In the wake of the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross storm the News of the World uncovered secret figures revealing 50 Beeb executives earn MORE than the Prime Minister’s £189,994.


We forced the unwilling BBC to reveal details under the Freedom of Information Act. They show beleagured Director General Mark Thompson, right, on a whopping £816,000.



I wouldn't mind if I could opt out of the BBC or pay a subscription, but £14.3M a year in salaries alone for the BBC execs is taking the piss somewhat.

My brother works for the BBC - they are always mistreating the lowly staff. Cut back on a few execs instead I say.....

That's probably £0.50 per year per license fee payer, I think Her Majesty costs like £1 per person in the UK per year...

Leave our Royal Family alone you commie bastard!

In fact, if you're going to post that kind of crap then give us the exact figures!

The point I was trying to make was that actually the Royal Family are doing hell a lot more good than a handful of those execs, it was obvious really - only the disloyal person who thought the Royal Family is not worth it would have interpreted my words in this way

btw, unlike most of people on here I actually made oath of allegiance to her Majesty

Those of us that have served in HM Forces have done so!

Btw, would you like to run a straw-poll on the number of ex-military there are on this forum? I think you'd be surprised. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of you talking bollocks.

Bet you wouldn't have bothered if there hadn't been a passport in it for you

[TheFaQQer]

Scraping the barrel here, Dim - nothing better to do than surf the News of the World website??

It was not for the passport - that part is optional, it can come automatically with the citizenship certificate
