Many of us enjoy Strictly Come Dancing, though most of the enjoyment depends on the contestant­s. I suspect all of us were staggered, and dare I say it, annoyed, to see that the salaries of four judges and two presenters comes to £1.5 million to £2m per year. At these salaries, perhaps one presenter might be enough! JAMES WATSON Randolph Crescent, Dunbar, East Lothian

The revelation of the outrageous salaries paid to BBC staff will further contribute to the alienation of much of the population from the elites in society. While millions struggle to pay their bills, the greed of the elites knows no bounds. Is it any wonder that Jeremy Corbyn’s slogan “For the many, not the few” has gained popular support? The BBC has the opposite view – for the few not the many. No one employed by the BBC should be paid more than the Prime Minister. WILLIAM LONESKIE
