Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
This isn't looking good for Jeremy Hunt, Alex Salmond looking a bit stupid as well...

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
It sounds like Hunt, far from being impartial, was actively trying to get News Corp permission to buy all of BSkyB's shares and providing them with information to do so.
---------- Post added at 15:39 ---------- Previous post was at 15:26 ----------
Hunt was giving the result of discussions he had with Oxcom to News Corp and even the contents of a private discussion Hunt had with the editor of the Daily Mail, Paul Dacre, about the bid!
Alex Salmond was also pushing for the take over quite hard in return for support for the SNP from The Sun.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
So far it's been denial,forgetfulness or dropping others in the pooh.

*probably is true, IMHO......

I can't wait. I wanna see corrupt heads roll.
One thing for sure, Cable has come out squeaky clean. He clearly didn't want Murdock extending his empire, and got sacked for it.

He wasn't sacked, just had to step aside.
