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.

“We purposely changed the bands in attempt [sic] to make it less obvious how many of the employees were above £100k, there are quite a few that fall between £100k and £110k but if they sit in an £80k to £110k band it’s not so cler [sic] how many of them there are!”

I trust that whoever forms the next government will take a long hard look at the BBC. It's bloated and corrupt, IMHO.

It's not just the BBC. You would cringe at the wages some teachers are on. Not because they are great teachers, but because they have been at the job for a long time.
