I'm not going to join the wise-after-the-event pile-on over the BBC's handling of the Huw Edwards affair.

Due process has to take place, and everyone should get a fair hearing. The time to sack him is when the allegations are substantiated, and not before.

What I don't understand is (a) why the job of reading the news warrants a salary of £479,000, three times that of the Prime Minister. And more pertinently, (b), whatever was the justification for giving him a near 10 per cent pay rise?

Are they so out of touch that they can't see how this looks to the millions of licence payers earning........
