The Heron Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 The director of the bbc has just issued a statement on the new guidelines for the corporations employees such as Packem, no politics, no controversial subjects and no public policy statements. And also the bbc are going to publish the fees that are paid to people outside of their employment. Hopefully this will clip his wings.

Whatever any TV "celeb" is getting paid, it'll always be too much to us mere mortals 😉 Plus, and this is no defence for their 'wages',,,, they're not just getting paid for their TV appearance time 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
