I don't care what anyone earns. However, the BBC is unique in its funding by not having to compete for funding in the way 'commercial' media must. Thus, it is an artificial market in which the BBC does not need to engage.
Consequently I believe they should have a cap - if the so-called talent migrates so what:the breadth and depth of programmes could broaden employing more people.
Of course they need to engage in some form of wage competition to get the talent, wages are a significant part of anyone's decision where to work. And if the talent migrates then you are left with the dregs. Which I am sure will please the usual suspects as it will add to their cries to shut the BBC down as the programs are all rubbish. But in a world of fake news, alternative facts and politically controlled media I'd argue we need the BBC to be as strong as we can.
And as for the breadth of programs not being broad enough, name me one other broadcaster that covers so much on the TV, radio and websites? Trump called them fake news so they must be doing something right....
