Guy made good.

Do I like him airing his political views? Well that depends on whether I agree with them but in principal I don’t think he should.

Is he overpaid? By the industry standards No.
is it a lot of money for what he does? Yes. Ditto all the other guys.
Would it bother me if MOD was presented by somebody less famous earning a 10th of the salary? Not if they could do the job.
