Re: Talent Pay

The government implemented this and you have to ask why?
Could it be that now the male species earn more than females, there will be a revolt? If they do the same type of job, why cannot women earn the same? It could be that either women get paid more, or the men take a pay cut. Either way, it could cost us, the taxpayer, money.

Re: Talent Pay

I don't think so....people tend to leave the room quickly when I tell them I am about to do Beethovens Fifth on the comb and paper....I don't think the entertainment world is quite ready for me, I am an artiste.

Re: Talent Pay

Most people accept that private companies can pay their staff as much as they like. But for an organisation that threatens the public with imprisonment for not having a licence to go and spend the cash received from these threats on paying people this sort of money. I can see where the anger could come from.

Re: Talent Pay

It seems that the Beeb's excuse is that the "talent" would go to the other companies if they don't pay these huge amounts.
Let them!
There are plenty of other people with just as much to offer that would be glad of a chance.
(We'd keep David Attenborough though, at any price)

Re: Talent Pay

£150,000.00 PA is only £80.00 per hour, but that is on the assumption, an individual WORKS for 37.5 hours per week!

52 weeks per year

I don't think that the Beeb pay for Attenborough's work, I think he's paid by the production company who do the filming.

As for the alleged `stars` at the BBC, I wouldn't pay them in washers. Give them a pay cut and if they want to go somewhere else let them. They'll soon learn what it's like in the real world instead of sucking on the BBC teat funded by legalised extortion.

Re: Talent Pay

Great chance for inland revenue to compare tax with salary?
