So little me is part of the sacrifice.

This is probably to appease someone, probably the American shareholders. He still keeps control of the TV side.

An interesting development but not one that I am capable of discerning the meaning of.

Means he can leg it ot the US, where he won't be at risk of extradition.

^^ This... Tactical move on the families part I suspect to get those that matter out of harms way!

Are you being sarcastic, or is this really the case?

Unless you've had your head in the sand for the past few years you surely will not have failed to notice all the stories in relation to the lop sided extradition treaty that exists between the UK and the US?

If he hotfoots it over there then I'd be entirely surprised if an extradition request was honoured, such is the lack of balance in the treaty.

Seriously. It's being suggested that he knew about phone hacking, and has lied to a Parliamentary Committee. Everyone from the cleaning lady up at NI is getting arrested and looking at jail time.

What would you do, if you were him? Stick around and see what happens, or resign your UK obligations and leg it to the US, where there is precisely zero chance of ever being extradited to face charges here?

My (limited) understanding is that whatever might eventually be proven (if anything) he may be at greater potential risk of prosecution in the US due to more wide ranging laws on corporate responsibility? Though of course these haven't really done much harm to those in finance
