BBC staff have publicly criticised as 'obscene, obscene, obscene' the pay rises awarded to the corporation's executive directors last year.
They used Ariel, the BBC's in-house magazine, to attack the salaries of Mark Thompson, the director-general, and the nine other members of the executive board.
They said it was unacceptable that the board had accepted a pay rise of 17 per cent when staff had to put up with an increase of only four per cent.
