Quote:
Lady James said those earning about £400,000 could not think they were performing a public service "if in fact that is over-payment for what you're doing".

Working for the BBC should be a "privilege," she added - a statement which Mr Thompson said he agreed with.


Maybe I'm missing something, but why should it be a 'privilege' to work for the BBC? Isn't it just a job at the end of the day? :?

Some of them may be holding the BBC in too high a regard there, and the likes of Sky (Murdoch) will use that against them given the chance...
