Anyone keen to justify any of this ?

During Euro 24 if I had a choice between BBC & ITV I would watch ITV (or German TV) because I can't stand the sight of Gary Lineker; he comes over to me as a smarmy creep.
Noami,

As with the case of Mr Linekar, there will be those civil servants that are paid a lot more than their colleagues.
“Why do they have to justify someones salary?”
Because those salaries are being paid from a fund which, to say the least, is about as iniquitous as it gets.
Imagine this: you only want to read the “Daily Mirror” and the “Pigeon Breeders’ Weekly”. However, the government has decided that the Guardian will be provided with funds to meet its full operating costs and people will no longer need to pay for it. To raise the funds for this, the government will launch a “newspaper permit”. Anybody wishing to read any newspaper will have to pay for one (with the threat of a criminal prosecution if they read a paper without one). The funds from the permit will all go to The Guardian.
The Guardian thinks this is great and immediately doubles the pay of all its executives and pledges to increase them by inflation + 10% from now on, but doesn’t tell anybody.
Would you be happy with this, or would you like to see more details of the Guardian’s outgoings?
The analogy with Civil Servants is specious. Civil Servants’ pay is met from general taxation which, as imperfect as it is, has some modicum of fairness built into it. BBC employees’ and contractors; pay comes from a compulsory levy to watch any television broadcast.
Huw Edwards has actually got an increase even tough he's been taken off air !
