I'm torn on this - I firmly believe the motivation is the anti-BBC bias of the Conservatives and their relationship with Murdoch who would like a MBC to rule the world. However, it is public money and transparency in public life is generally a good thing. I think I would rather it not have had names attached to the information and I think there will be the most dreadful things put on social media - especially for the women. I also think that there are other aspects to this as mentioned on R4 this morning. Royal Opera House, CBSO etc etc all get huge amounts of public money - should we know what their stars are paid? To be fair, yes. With all its faults, we need to have a BBC and I hope this move doesn't go too far in undermining it -Fox news is not a future I'd want
