Why the Brexit bus comment or jest?

You had a 50:50 chance of getting my overall politics right and got it wrong. Nice try.

She's a controversial shite-stirrer, drawing in viewers many of whom probably don't like her and love it when she clashes with a cerebrally superior interviewee.

I disagree. Most of these BBC people deserve pay rises towards the levels of Evans and Lineker. They are an exceptionally talented group of individuals, all brilliant at what they do and this would fend off interest from private sector broadcasters. We must keep such charismatic individuals...

Supported by Labour and Jezza will finish it by ending the BBC gravy train. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-bbc-salaries-cut-gary-lineker-chris-evans-slash-labour-win-a7849696.html Who could argue with him?

I never forget that. A couple of times over the years he's mentioned an affection he has for us and witnessing the 'challenge' on Gerry Ryan by HH. http://www.football.co.uk/arsenal/crunch-time-aaron-ramseys-broken-leg-is-a-wakeup-call-for/495978/#vCmIb39pTfXQxPsP.97

I like their school kid excitement as they fiddle around with their special effects highlighting why Arsenal or whoever conceded again. Sourness says less, but has a cutting bluntness, getting to the bare bones. On BBC, I rate Martin Keown. He may not have the charisma of Henry or Ginola, but...

The specific item of transparency on BBC pay received cross party support, with all Labour MP's on the culture voting for the motion: https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/business-papers/commons/early-day-motions/edm-detail1/?edmnumber=37&session=2016-17 Which was then accepted and...

I stopped Sky Sports a few years back, but when I have seen footage, I love the work of Neville, Carragher and Souness who all absolutely love the game, played at a high level and are cuttingly honest. Henry comes across as the quiet one who cannot get a word in with whoever he's teamed up with.

How much does Henry get from Sky or is it not really known?

The individual production companies of the BBC stars who are avoiding PAYE and NI through payroll, will be hit by a rise in corp tax from 19% to 28% under McDonnell's tax plan for companies generating non-small profits. Going back to the main point, the revealing of the BBC salaries was not...

Corbyn's statement - your silence is deafening :)

Failed attempt to party politicise this. Labour peer Lord Falconer staunchly defending this release on TV this morning and you don't get more non-Tory government than this fellow...

She runs a 'production' company - Voluntad Productions Limited. If the BBC allow her to invoice them, she wouldn't need to go through payroll.

£1.75m of taxpayers money is disgraceful. We don't hear that knowledge. Purported respect from all in the game is an irrelevance.

I agree with you that governments through legislation and HMRC have made massive inroads into tackling the tax shortfall at the BBC. It was the case of John Burt, the BBC boss who avoided NI and PAYE by having his 'salary' paid to his private limited company, that brought all this to the fore...

Lineker, Steve Wright and Evans earning incredible sums more than the classy Eddie Mair, Ken Bruce, Adrian Chiles (I like him) and Fiona Bruce. I bet a lot of people thought Fiona Bruce would be one of the very highest paid, especially with her multiple roles. If Lineker left MOTD, he would...
