Re: BSkyB faces broader 'fit and proper' inquiry
Dear Rebekah Brooks and her husband arrested this morning in dawn raids. (Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice).
This is the same person Rupert Murdoch said he would stand by last year.
I just wonder how far the net spreads and who else is waiting for that knock on the door at dawn?

In my opinion we will see no action. The trial will be too expensive the murdocks will prove they are untouchable.

lets hope so if they done wrong they should feel full arm of justice. I hope the enquiry the investigation is thorough no rock unturned if that means MP's, prime ministers ex MP's prime ministers then so be it. The whole mess needs clensing.
I think we should stop the merger at very least newscorp with sky would be too powerful.

Sadly if you wanted to stop News Corp taking control of BSkyB, then you should have campained to stop the BSB/Sky merger in 1990
Since then BSkyB has been under the control of the Murdochs

No they own 39% old chap so if if the maths is right then that means that 61% is not owned by them.
