Dear BBC

The license fee is extorted from the taxpayer. You are civil servants. You have no right to keep your salaries private.

The BBC has struck a deal to stop the public knowing exactly how much its top stars are paid despite opening its accounts to the public spending watchdog.

The corporation has bowed to political pressure to let the National Audit Office have unfettered access to how it spends its money. But despite letting auditors have complete freedom to look at its finances, it has emerged that the exact pay details of its top stars are still likely to remain a secret.

Not good enough. Outrageous.

That means you too Jeremy Clarkson (be Prime Minister instead, please).
