The average BBC salary is £36K p.a. (The average UK salary is £31K). Let's be generous and pay Lineker double the average BBC salary so £72K. Would you agree that £72K is a pretty good salary for what he actually does? I'm sure someone will come along and tell me that he could earn umpteen more times than that on SKY, then so be it, let him go to SKY; then I wouldn't be paying his salary from my TV licence fee any more and the money saved could be going towards what the BBC does best: news, documentaries, dramas etc.
No small amount of irony in that sentence. Cheap political insults make the world go round, and anyone who has a different opinion to you must therefore read 'The Daily Mail'. By your logic, you must read a combination of The Guardian and I Heart Communist Weekly with a pull out supplement of raunchy Karl Marx posters.
Why do folk think commercial tv is free? In the long run I’d imagine it costs more than the set figure of the tv licence. TV advertising certainly isn’t cheap, Snoop Dog allegedly received £5.3 million for his Just Eat adverts, I don’t reckon all the local chippies kept their prices the same and chipped in out of their own pockets. A chunk of your vehicle insurance premiums will be going towards paying those f*cking meerkats. Nothing’s free and ITV, Sky, BT aren’t using their own money, it’s money that we’re all chipping in to and not an insignificant amount.
Hi Tokyo Blue,
Yep, the grammar is appalling but it makes sense, so I'm fine with that... Unless you're going to mark me down for my English Lit GCSE?
Why do you mention "opinions" in your post? I was arguing how factually wrong the other poster was.
If he just said that he thinks Gary Lineker is a c**t then I wouldn't have bothered replying to him as I couldn't give a f**k what his opinion of a TV presenter is.
Regurgitating the hateful, totally false shit from the right-wing rags in the UK deserves to be challenged though.
Also, I couldn't care less about "cheap political insults".
My Karl Marx posters have had so much wear and tear, I can't begin to describe how much of a beating they take.
Anything else I can help you with today, you prick?
if you pay a presenter of a tv show watched by millions £72k, then anyone who was any good would leave almost straight away for more money elsewhere.
Even youtubers that are watched as much as that make more than that probably.
He's very good at his job.
I really don't want to watch MOTD with a £72k main presenter.
