The title of the article gives a clear indication what slant the feature is going to take:
Cigar-chomping BBC fatcat Jonathan Ross shows off his new £40,000 sports car
The guy works for a living and if the BBC want to pay him that level of salary to do a job, why should anyone else have the right to tell him what to spend his money on?!?

And if the writer has his facts right and he is getting £18 million... a Morgan is hardly extravagant! I hope he has an AeroMax on order as well... stick that in their pipe! (or should that be sidepipe?

The entire article stinks of envy and tree-hugging-poor-me-rhetoric.

(climbs down from the soapbox!
