Dear Members
Please remember that the BBC is funded by you, the taxpayer. You are paying for these large salaries! We ask the question is it time for the BBC licence fee to be scrapped?
The Workers of England Union campaigns against extortionate wages and we feel that this is a clear example.
This is only the top 10 earners, this does take into account the executive pay and the number who are on £100,000plus.
Regards
Stephen Morris

Director-General Lord Hall has since defended Chris’ pay, saying: “He is presenting the most popular show on the most popular radio network in Europe.
