THE 'superstar' feminists in the BBC are calling for financial parity with their overpaid talking head male colleagues.

To quote now politically incorrect Windsor Davies, 'Oh dear, how sad, never mind'.

Evidence that the ego has finally landed is illustrated by the minute fanfare that precedes the BBC News on Channel 503, where nonentity newsreaders are highlighted as through they were some sort of celebrity prior to actual news coverage.

At least Sky News immediately gets down to business.

As a palliative to the astonished public, rather than increasing the wages of these overblown female co-presenters, their male colleagues should, at the very least, have their income docked to bring them in to line.

Given the level of repeats on the BBC, particularly that of 'Bargain Hunt', it would not surprise me that as part of the BBC's profligacy with public funds, participants on this programme were not paid substantial royalties, for endless appearances as a form of compensation.
