Did you actually read her letter? She took the job after having been told (lied to) that the job paid the same as other comparable positions. When she found out that she'd been lied to, she asked for this to be rectified. It wasn't, so she quit.

Why are you so keen to make this about "stars" (and we can debate the tautological case of Sopel if you want), when Gracie herself was assured when she took the job that the *post* was equivalent. Why do you think you know more about the job than her or those who created it?

Mate, I can’t spend all day debating this with you. I’ve got stuff to do. In summary, I just don’t care what some highly paid woman or man at the BBC is complaining about. Have a nice weekend x

You've spent all morning bemoaning the "manufacturered outrage". Funny thing to do about something you don't care about. Complaining loudly about something you don't care about almost feels... manufactured.
-
No I haven’t. I simply replied to your tweet to me. Which was good manners, no?
-
Cracking debate. Clear win for Lodder.

All "fuss" is manufactured in some way. It's people speaking out about things which they find problematic. The entire canon of the papers you work for is manufactured fuss. Gracie took a job on the condition of parity. She was lied to, and spoke out about it. Like anyone would.

Actually, my guess is that she just wanted an excuse to leave the China job...

I imagine being fluent in Chinese is probably a lot easier than translating the utter bilge emanating from the White House at the moment to be honest. Let's cut Sopel some slack...
