However, given that I'd jump at the chance of a job as a science journalist with the BBC, please forgive my reluctance to engage in public beeb-bashing. There may be problems with the corporation, but the BBC does excellent work, and I regard it is an institution worth defending. <i>/brown_nose</i> I have no interest whatsoever in a position with the Metropolitan Police. So fuck ’em! Very true, Gaw. However, given that I’d jump at the chance of a job as a science journalist with the BBC, please forgive my reluctance to engage in public beeb-bashing.

Believe me, some of the people earning that sort of money at the Beeb manage in a middling fashion. They certainly don't have the responsibilities of the equivalent of a Chief Constable. ‘Executive’ is a term of art used to justify a large salary.
