she described the piece, written by kevin myers, as "so obviously racist, it's surprisingly hurtful".emind us of the background to this. yesterday, in the irish edition of the sunday times, there was a call bya the sunday times, there was a call by a controversial list by somebody who is a regular contributor to the sunday edition of the irish times, kevin myers, and he wrote how bbc stars are paid and in that list, va nessa stars are paid and in that list, vanessa feltz and claudia winkleman, who arejewish, were reported. kevin myers said they were paid that much, he implied it was because they were jewish and he said jewish were not known for having lower salaries and is demanding less money. he said these things about how men deserve to be paid more because they are seldom found to be pregnant. it was intellectually incoherent and the question people would ask is how this got through. the usual process, i know this from a daisy newspapers, is the editor on the desk says, what do you think about writing? the columnist writes it and you check it with a headline to your editor. there
