Pay medical folk more and then the BBC stars less

If ever there was a time, to have a reassessment the salaries of the BBC personnel, that time must surely have arisen with the courageous display of bravery of those in the medical profession.

They are presently prepared to sacrifice their life ( some already have done) in carrying out probably the most enormous challenge of their chosen profession.

Now the salaries of the medical profession are open to all and sundry, compare this attitude to the secretive salaries of the BBC personnel,.

Hence I ask, why are their salaries so different, are they not also paid by the British public in either tax or licence fee?

Leaving that issue aside, many of the so-called BBC entertainers are uneducated to any recognised standard, compared to say a doctor, never mind the more demanding professionalism of say a surgeon.

As for the language used by some BBC’s entertainers, never mind the ‘canned’ and the raucous meaningless laughter, it is unfit to be screened.

It is time for those who govern our lives to reward the professionally educated people, with a ‘fit for purpose’ salary, those who never flinch from laying down their lives, as and when society demands, instead of making a so-called star of entertainment, out of a tattooed hooligan having a ring on his nose, and deserving a haircut.
