Hot on the heels of the MPs, it’s now the BBC's turn to have the spotlight turned on them and to have to justify their reckless abandon with our money.

Shockingly the Director General of the BBC Mark Thompson earns in pay and benefits about £800,000 per year, his monthly income being the same as the annual basic salary of an MP, and the top hundred earners in the BBC all get paid many, many times what an MP earns. Now, given their relative responsibilities, that doesn’t sit right with me at all.

And after a week of the BBC fat cats trying to justify their huge salaries and expense claims we learn that the BBC has sent more than 400 of its employees to cover the Glastonbury music festival and that it has been necessary to block book hotel rooms in the surrounding area in order to accommodate their staff. These same hotels claim they have already been booked for next year!

I truly wonder whether the BBC have taken leave of their senses. The Glastonbury Festival in no way justifies sending so many people to cover it, in numbers only slightly less than the BBC sent to cover the Bejing Olympics. After all, if you’re into the Glastonbury Festival, you’re there enjoying the whole experience for what it is. Sitting in front of the TV on a blistering hot summer weekend to watch Tom Jones croon away is just sad.

The BBC’s proliferation with the tax payers money is shameful. Someone should be sacked for this orgy of spending.
