It won't..there is going to be some long hard looks at them if they apply again and it may be decided that in view of what happened at NOTW they are not fit to be in charge of Bskyb.I think with the Leveson Inquiry the whole industry, papers and broadcasters are going to get their wings clipped.Once that happens I think our government may grow a pair and not allow themselves to be bullied into allowing the takeover.
