Quote:

Vince Cable told undercover reporters he had "declared war on Rupert Murdoch" and planned to block his efforts to take full control of BSkyB, according to the BBC's Robert Peston.

Re: Cable 'declared war on Murdoch'
Cable is being targetted by the 38 Degrees mob about the issue..so he's getting pulverised from both sides now.

Re: Cable 'declared war on Murdoch'
Apparently this came up in a Telegraph undercover investigation but they chose not to publish it and it was leaked to the Beeb. How odd. Presumably The Telegraph was worried that this would increase the chances of Murdoch taking total control of Sky, quite likely, and they wanted to prevent that.

Re: Cable 'declared war on Murdoch'
Sky news are saying that according to a tweet by a Daily Mirror reporter, Cable has resigned.

Sky news will keep saying that he is finished, that will complete the process quickly.
Cable is finished because Sky will make sure he is finished. Watch sky news, read a Murdock controlled paper and every single person involved in the news will say he's finished.
The next 24 hrs will be a perfect example of the power of Murdock over the press and politics
What Vince Cable has said is wrong, But so will be the pressure you will see from Murdock and his empire.

But Sky hasn't said he is finished - it's the Daily Mirror who has said that and that is not owned by Rupert Murdoch.

So are the BBC - I am watching both Sky and the BBC ... You cannot say that Murdoch is controlling the BBC on this one, yet the beeb are saying what Sky are saying, that cable is potentially finished.

Re: Cable 'declared war on Murdoch'
TBH, it's hard to see how he could stay on.

Re: Cable 'declared war on Murdoch'
I can't help but wonder if he did this on purpose as a way of getting out without blowing up the coalition?

He said it in the same expose as the 'blowing up the coalition' statement.

Yeah, I know but the whole thing is so blindingly stupid, it doesn't seem like him.

He's pushed that big red button.
Personally i hope he goes quickly before the Murdock press destroy him. He's done wrong and should go.
