REWARDING GUILE?

I note that The Time has exposed more BBC duplicity...

A BBC executive who is paid almost £200,000 a year to award bonuses to senior managers tried to manipulate salary information to hide the number of staff earning more than £100,000.  

Robert Johnston, who is “reward director”, asked staff responsible for releasing the data to the public to “deliberately disguise” the number of managers on six-figure salaries, according to e-mails seen by The Times.

Have they no shame? And yet, day in day out, they talk about the “fat cat” bankers????

    This looks interesting. I very much hope that someone at the BBC who is sick of their duplicity has a huge stock of incriminating emails like these, ready to be released to the general public.

    And what about the beeboids who receive, say, £99,000 as an employee AND £150,000 paide via their production company as a freelancer.

      Exactly.  There’s probably a lot more of that going on than people expect.

      There is what the public has a right to know.

      And then there is what happens at the BBC.

      Which is…’unique’.

    How strange there was an item on the Today programme this morning decrying the number of local government employees on more than £100000. About 4 times the number at the BBC covering “turnover” of how many times more – 20+?

    Is that his only job? Nice if you can get it, quite apart from all the execs bowing and scraping before you.

    At this time in the planets history, it is not AGW that is the main problem but Anthropogenic Global Corruption. This phenomenon was generally localised in Third World countries, but is now to be found everywhere – in parliament, the speaker of the HoC, PMs, EU, EU MEPs, and in the USA. 

    The cure for AGC is quite the opposite of AGW – the total stop of taxpayers money for the swine to put their snouts in.

    The days of the BBC are rapidly coming to an end.  They know it.  We know it.  Just a shame it won’t be either the public, Tories or the media that puts them out of business.

    It will be technology and time.  The two greatest destroyers of monopolies.

    Everything ends.
