No lessons learned

The reluctance of Auntie to disclose how much she pays her radio presenters may not seem to be on the same sort of scale as the parliamentary expenses scam monetarily speaking - although the reported £92K annual salary for at least one BBC News 24 presenter might be a useful if slightly subjective indicator.

Yet was it not the series of attempts at Westminster to keep the level of publicly funded remuneration under wraps that started all the present fuss in the first place?

Clearly the Corporation is not a learning organisation.
