Politician's and Rupert..

[jimslip]

So you agree that Blair and Murdoch together castrated the Labour Party? You are the one who needs to learn, oh brainwashed one!

You can spout your revisionist codswallop for ever and a day, but the fact remains that your New Labour were a bunch of greedy and corrupt self serving traitors to the working man and widened the gap between rich and poor at a faster rate than at any time in history!

The biggest mystery is why didn't Blair and his crooked cronies form an alliance with the Tories, after all they all had the same interests at heart.....!cigar!!cigar!!cigar!

Oh dear, you were doing so well, quoting stuff that I taught you on the forum the night before. And now you blot your copy book.

Tell me Jim, which part of the following sentence I posted, do you not understand?

"So what you saw at the 1997 election was Tory Lite."

I suppose it is my fault for using some words of more than one syllable. It never has been "your New Labour", but you are too thick to pick up on it.

I love it when you keep coming back to me. It is like having my own virtual chihuahua.

Only with a virtual chihuahua, I can keep giving it a good kicking without the RSPCA popping round.

PS Osama Bin Laden has been spotted in Cleethorpes. Bloody hell, you were right all the time!!!

!wink! !wink! !wink!

Is this just the politians form of abuse, or has that decision any real consequence, e.g. that the Murdoch's have to sell their business within 6 months or it'll all get closed down?

It has real consequence in the sense that it will be taken notice of by Ofcom, the regulatory body in this area, who are examining evidence of phone hacking as part of its investigation into whether BSkyB is a ?fit and proper? owner of a broadcasting licence. The terms "fit" and "fit and proper" were chosen carefully by the Culture Committee.

Ofcom has requested private court documents disclosed to lawyers acting for several alleged victims of phone hacking by the News of the World. If Ofcom decides that James Murdoch, News Corp?s deputy chief operating officer and former chairman of News of the World publisher News International, or the company itself are not ?fit and proper? owners, the regulator could revoke BSkyB?s licence to broadcast in the UK.

If this is a reply to my post, you do not appear to have understood my post.

Your link is about News Corporation giving Rupert Murdoch, their support. News Corporation was set up by Rupert Murdoch decades ago and basically, Murdoch controls the company.

So News Corporation giving Murdoch their full support is a bit like Virgin stating what a wonderful chap, Branson is.

THis has nothing to do with whether or not Ofcom will decide that the BSkyB's license to broadcast in the UK should be revoked.

Or maybe I have missed something?

Yes as usual you have missed something.
