Do try and keep up, Bert. Those luvvies are not BBC employees. The BBC

Oh no they were (wrongly) advised by the BBC to be self employed to
avoid tax and NI.

Perhaps you'd let us all know those in front of the microphone or camera
are full time BBC staff? Rather than on a fixed term contract?

Just another tax fiddle by the BBC.

Hardly a fiddle, more an example of where unearned income is taxed at a
lower rate than earned. Where payments reflect the flexibility of the
contractor and the down-time of an employee.

Have you always worked as an employee?

They are supposedly the best. The BBC sets the rate.

BTW, it would be a very unusual radio programme that used autocue.

BT can't you hold more than one idea in your head at any one time?

Bit difficult when you jump around so much. Your jealously of others
seems
to have affected your reason.


I admire those who go out into a competitive market and do well. I
dislike those who hide behind cartels and monopolies.

There are quite a few of those, solicitors, barristers, doctors,
architects, electricians, plumbers to name a few.
