...she was paid roughly one sixth of a specific male for a similar job...?...it’ll be interesting to follow the outcome of this...Arista, a female shouldn’t have to ‘demand’ equality to a male...those are crazy 2019 words to be reading...

Its hard to see how two people sitting on the same sofa could be paid so vastly differently

The BBC needs a massive shakeup from top to bottom. I don't think there is any doubt that she should win her case, the only doubt is if she will win it.

Never heard of her - has she been working for the BBC for the same amount of time as whoever she shares the sofa with? Does the other presenter do other work for the BBC as well?

She will claim her male equivalent at the broadcaster was Jeremy Vine, who was paid as much as £3,000 a show for his work on the Points of View programme.
