"I simply don't believe these kinds of salaries are necessary to get the best candidates. These are some of the best jobs in British broadcasting and it is an honour to be asked to do them," Cameron added.
I partially agree, but why stop there?
Is it not an honour to be a chair of BT, water utilities, gas suppliers, electricity suppliers, infrastructure companies, banks, building societies, universities... or if not a chair then even a director, especially one who is two or three days a week? Why do those companies get away with the argument that they have to pay top rates to attract and keep top talent but the BBC doesn't? Yes, it's our money paying it through the license fee for the BBC but where does BT's money come from?
