Finding it hard to get too wound up about Carrie Gracie 'only' earning £135k as a relatively obscure foreign editor, even accepting the wider point about pay equality. BBC salaries are out of control.

Relatively obscure? Editor of BBC bureau in the largest country and one of the largest economies in the world.

You're confusing the country with the correspondent.

So you were describing Carrie Gracie as obscure?

I'm saying the role is relatively obscure. No doubt it's a senior position, but do you need to pay well in excess of six figures to find someone qualified to staff it? I doubt it.

I guess that depends on how well you want one of the most important BBC bureaus run.

She earned more than the British ambassador to China. I know which I'd consider the more pivotal role.
