What about a bit of tithing here? Perhaps each of these people could donate 10% of their salary back into the arts and sports facilities that have been raided to fund these salary packages. (After all, as the small print says, they still have their performance bonuses to come as well)
The Eastern Angles theatre company, for example, has been relieved to hear that it will lose only 10% of its funding instead of the 50% originally proposed; the shortfall is now 'only' £23,000.
Councils around Britain are closing swimming pools etc because they say they cannot afford the £150,00 - £200,000 running costs per year.
When I see salaries like these I think of what the Olympic "legacy" really will be: a decimation of hundreds of grassroots arts and sports endeavours.
