BBC expenses
15-08-09
This report of a £11,000 leaving bash is outragous. Who do these people think they are to, quite frankly, rob the taxpayer of this amount of money on getting pissed and well fed. When Wilt wants to get pissed or well fed (preferably both at the same time) and have a laugh with old friends, he pays – usually over the odds as jis retired mates are blood suckers despite their numerous local authority pension supported holidays abroad.
When Wilt left local government there were a few kind words and a trip to the local watering hole where Wilt paid for the beer, crisps and peanuts. It cost all of, lets think, £20. And Wilt was then a very senior local government officer and having spent over 20 years in service. So exactly what justifies £11,000 for a BBC executive! Further, what justifies that cost being charged to the tax payer? Well the BBC has the answer, apparently:
A BBC spokeswoman said: “Jenny Abramsky joined the BBC in 1969 and did almost 40 years service at the BBC. She was the first woman editor of the Today programme and launched numerous new BBC services which benefited the Licence Fee Payer including BBC Radio Five Live, BBC News 24 and BBC News Online – Jenny was also made a Dame for her services to radio.
“After such a long period of distinguished service to the BBC many people wanted to show their respect and appreciation for Jenny’s outstanding contribution to the organisation and this was reflected in a guest list of 540 who were invited to the event.”
Oh, OK that is fine then, you utter ferkin Dork.
