Just reading today that Great British Bake Off stars Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are reportedly getting £100,000 pay rises. The boost will see their salaries increase by 20% to £600,000 per year.

So that's why pensioners over 75 are being asked to cough up money.....!

Their programme make their wages back a hundred times. Sold all over the world at a huge profit.

We're being asked to subsidise news and public service stuff.

Still doesn't warrant a salary 4 times that of the PM....!

We are keen enough to condemn so called 'fat cats' in industry whose justification for high salaries is also that they also generate large amount of income - this is no different.

I think they do warrant that salary.

The labourer is worthy of his or her hire. I can't remember criticising leader of industry, I feel the same way about them. As long as they pay their taxes.

Although the article mentions salaries I expect the figure are for contracts. They will have to pay the expenses that an employer normally pays for their staff..
