the things they like that the BBC produces as if that somehow justifies those who don't like them being required by law to pay for them.
Odd sort of an argument, that.
There are also a great many leftists claiming that the disclosure of salaries is a right wing plot to undermine the national treasure that is the BBC. Don't these people usually bang on and on about how biased the BBC is against the left?

Also, aren't these the same people always clamouring for caps to be applied to the 'obscene' pay of employees of private companies?
I think the main objection is that the salaries aren't being revealed anonymously. Just seems a little mean-spirited.
I'm not particularly fussed, but I can see the argument that, given that I have no right to opt out of paying towards Gary Lineker's salary, I have a right to know what he earns.
