It's a rough old world

Feeling sorry for her?  The Sunday Times reports:

A leading BBC presenter has revealed for the first time that she was “incandescent with rage” when she found out she was being paid less than male colleagues.

Writing in The Sunday Times about her experience, Sarah Montague, who left Radio 4’s Today programme last month to join The World at One, says her lower salary was “professionally damaging” and made her feel like “a sap”.

She writes that women who were underpaid compared with male colleagues at the BBC were angry that they had been “sold a pup”.

Montague, who until July was paid £133,000 a year for her work on Today, was the only presenter on Radio 4’s flagship news programme who was not on the BBC’s list of those earning £150,000 or more a year.

Poor girl,  Imagine the difficulties of having to struggle by on £133.000 a year.
