bbc expenses "row"

[Ankou]

a report i read this morning seems to be trying to make a story out some expenses claimed, for travel, car parking, flowers and gifts etc by bbc ‘bossses’. now yes i think that they are already paid quite well, allegedly 46 of the top managers “earn more then the prime minister”. but is there really a story here ?

the director general claimed nearly £3,500 over a 3 month period, and included several parking tickets for (wait for it…) 70p. now some members of my team notch up over a grand a month in travel, parking and subsistence. is the dg’s really that obscene ?

another ‘top boss’ claimed £80 for flowers. were they for staff members who had a baby, loved one died, got married ? again we do this all the time here.

the only one that raised my roger moore eyebrow was a claim by another ‘top boss’ for gifts sent to celebrities who tok part in children in need.

should we be outraged and demand a public inquiry, or is this all just a bit of petty crap ?
