Hopefully, Jeremy Clarkson is right (Clarkson: BBC favours women over men, 08/01/19). If it is true that "male presenters should accept they have no chance of winning jobs at the BBC", the nation should celebrate. The more of the likes of Clarkson, Lineker, Humphries and Shearer who go where their obscene levels of pay are provided by gambling companies paying for advertisements, and not by the corporation`s licence-fee payers the better.
It`s high time the BBC shed its image of an over-paid boys` club, sorted out its pay structure, with a sensible cap on top earnings, cut down on the number of managers earning over £150,000, currently at well over one hundred, and ended the culture of tax avoidance within the corporation.
