Zoe Ball ... earns £1.36 million despite having lost a million listeners since replacing Chris Evans last year.

So what exactly is the rationale behind that pay packet?

I don't expect these people to be on minimum wage and generally that list of high earners didn't offend me that much. But it is hard to make any sense of the top two salaries, Lineker and Zoe Ball.

£1m pay rise shoots Zoe Ball past Gary Lineker to top of BBC rich list


Matthew Moore, Media Correspondent
Wednesday September 16 2020, 12.00am, The Times



Gary Lineker has accepted a £400,000 pay cut to sign a new five-year deal with the BBC but was told publicly by the director-general to limit political tweets.

The Match of the Day host is no longer the corporation’s highest-paid presenter, having accepted a 23 per cent cut to his £1.75 million salary.


Zoe Ball tops the list, with a £1 million rise for fronting the Radio 2 breakfast show. She earns £1.36 million despite having lost a million listeners since replacing Chris Evans last year.

Lineker has become a lightning rod for criticism of BBC salaries since it was forced to report them in 2017.

Tim Davie, who has made reining in “activist” presenters a priority since taking over as director-general on September 1,

The dangers of jumping onto a holed boat.

The United States has described the World Trade Organization as “completely inadequate” after it criticised the Trump administration’;s tariffs on China.

The decision prompted Trump, who has already pulled the US out of the UN cultural organisation Unesco and the World Health Organization, to say in Washington that he had to “do something about the WTO".

Nope, I regret to say "not"

Too many "coincidences" such as this Furin Cleavage site, and how easily this virus binds to Human ACE2 receptors(even better than the alleged species ACE receptors it initially jumped from!!!!! ie Ludicrous claim it came from another species originally and jumped via a third party(Pangolin) to humans)

Johnson may compromise over Brexit bill with rebelsBoris Johnson has signalled a possible compromise with Tory rebels after a minister suggested that elements of the Brexit legislation that triggered a revolt could be rewritten. The Prime Minister met senior MPs shortly before a vote on the Internal Market Bill and assured them that he would act on their concerns. Among them was Sir Bob Neill, who has tabled an amendment which seeks to bar the Government from breaching international law without Parliament's support. It comes amid growing optimism of a trade deal with Brussels despite the fallout. Today the president of the European Commission is expected to extend an olive branch by declaring that the EU still wants a trade deal with the UK.

"Reports of China starting a mass vaccination programme in November and we're not expecting a COVID vaccine until 2024. Anyone explain the disconnect...apart from the obvious that is"

Hehe far easier to develop a vaccine to the virus you have developed in a Lab.

"Rogue' Chinese Virologist claims she has "Evidence" COVID-19 created in a Lab"
Chinese virologist Dr. Li-Meng Yan
During the interview, she answered questions about her claims, and reiterated that the CCP didn't just deliberately cover up COVID-19 in a manner that led to thousands of unnecessary deaths, the party also knew that SARS-CoV-2 was created by Chinese scientists.





Oh look
She's been suspended from Twitter!!
2 days later!

"Twitter suspends account of Chinese scientist who published paper alleging Covid was created in Wuhan lahb"




Looking at the "Furin Cleavage site"

it is clear this was manufactured in a Lab.
