The BBC paid out nearly £20 million in staff bonuses last year, it has been revealed.

Director-general Mark Thompson and members of the executive board waived their bonuses.

But other employees received bumper payouts to reward "exceptional performance", The Sun revealed.

The Corporation handed out £19,429,853 during the period from July 2006 to June 2007. Most bonuses were paid last August.

Nearly half the BBC's 23,000 employees received bonuses and the average amount was £1,805.

But one employee received £100,739 and others took home five-figure sums.

The revelation comes at a time when public confidence in the BBC is at a low as a result of fake phone-in scandals and the "Crowngate" affair in which the Queen was wrongly said to have stormed out of a photoshoot.

A BBC spokeswoman said: "Bonuses are a regular part of the BBC and we don't make any secret of that.

"They are extra recognition for exceptional performance, for staff who have gone above and beyond the call of duty for the BBC."

I take it this is 'our' money these people are robbing... again? It would be interesting to see who got what.

As usual you could not make this up. As far as I am concerned they are a disgrace and their 911 Conspiracy show was one of the poorest excuses for a programme I have ever seen. Debunking 911 Debunking by David Ray Griffin shows just how absurd their claims are.

Not to mention the fact they refuse to reveal who the source was that leaked that WTC7 was about to collapse. WTC7 was brought down in a controlled demoltion the only question in my mind is why? For me there can only be two plausible reasons each of which causes a problem for the government.
1. WTC7 was brought down in a pre-planned control demolition as part of the 911 operation.
2. WTC7 was brought down in a controlled demolition as part of a built in safety feature after the building was damaged.
