As we have seen over he last few days, the share price in BSkyB has fallen, by almost twenty percent, in the last couple of weeks, it will cost him considerably less. All he has to do now, is bribe a few OFCOM officials and he will be home and dry. Only a theory, mind.

Now that i can agree with. Murdoch is a Wiley old fox and has the ability to change the requirements for his buyout of BSkyB and if that means throwing hardworking people on to the dole so be it. Your correct in that he has reduced his holdings in such a way that no matter what is done now he will win.

I really hate Murdoch and all he stands for.
