Blimey....since this deal was 'rumoured', some of the nonsensical drivel that has been written across various forums is as laughable as a 42 year old still believing that a Fat White Bearded man comes down our chimneys on 25th December.

This is nothing to do with Virgin 'selling out' or Murdoch trying to dominate the world...its what business is about. Sky see it as commercially a good deal, likewise, Virgin TV saw it as commercially a good deal. END OF STORY. Its what happens in the business world and its not about SKY buying the TV business just to **** off Virgin Cable subscribers.

Some people just cannot see a deal for what it is...just that and with no seedy undercurrent attached

Yep, i will get slated for this....but I'm a realist, not a conspiracy theorist
