Depends on Flyboys definition of it and who he blames

Yes well given their appalling record I can see why you'd rather apply your very own statute of limitations to the discussion. ;)

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Firstly l do not speak for the public as they are intelligent enough to form their own opinions and they do not believe David Cameron one jot, secondly it was on Andy Coulson's watch where a lot of the hacking took place and for him to say that he did not know about it is frankly a laugh and it also comes back to that David Cameron did not check this person out thoroughly before appointing him as director of communications shows a terrible lack of judgement and poor common sense and for one to be in this high position of office that is frankly not good enough.

:rofl: Unless I'm very much mistaken, you've just spoken for the public. Again!

Sorry if this has been posted else were

"In the wake of News International scrapping its longstanding News of the World tabloid after revelations of egregious phone-hacking methods, a rampaging public and political torrent ensued, and Rupert Murdoch put his £7.8 billion BSkyB takeover deal on ice.

Lack of knowledge is nothing to be ashamed of - ignorance nothing to be proud of, though....:erm:

Yes well I have a very privileged 'Tory' background - my father was a manual worker and unable to read/write until well into his adulthood.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but insults will never hurt me.:);):)

Re: Money comes too money
 

BSkyB gets the money from News International - NI only own 39% of BSkyB.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Not an insult - a statement; only you can judge if you can apply it to yourself (or post something attempting to be self-effacing).

My father was a labourer, I was brought up in Govan and lived in tenements, so coming from a "common" background is not a reason to profess ignorance (and seeming to be proud of it).

Re: Money comes too money
 

correct -still a nice little amount in to there pot:)
