We just need Ofcom to come to the same conclusion. And frankly the likelihood of that increases with every passing day.

[anonymous-user]

The same MP's that sucked up to the Murdoch empire for decades are now scathing of his leadership. The police the Murdochs and the Government are all complicit in this grubby affair.

Like Murdoch gives a toss about the UK and what our MPs think, his empire is global.

Thick as thieves. The lot of them. Now busy trying to avoid the sh*t thats going to fly off the fan.

I suppose the US authorities will be reviewing these findings.

Yes ....and if they do am I right in thinking they could revoke their right to broadcast as not being fit and proper ?

Clearly he's so bad at leading a global media empire that he was able to create and run the thing for years. I don't see anyone else that bad at doing it (IYSWIM)

Surely the UK is a healthy chunk of his revenue though? Sky, Sun, Times etc...

But not 'fit and proper' there is a huge difference

i.e. MP's want to have a stab, but can't have enough substance to really pin st on Murdochs.

Need to grow a pair

Mps will be too scared to have a proper dig as the Murdochs have lots of ammo for revenge strikes

A farce.

Anybody who thinks that Murdoch is really going anywhere is naive imho. In a few months it will be business as usual.

I fear you are right .....or by the time Ofcom choose to berate him he will have long since retired and living in the good old USA somewhere

Perhaps junior will have to take the brunt ?

I seriously believe he is sat in his lair somewhere laughing his bks off at the incompetence............

Yes, and on the phone getting the dirt on these people.

Believe me, if any of them have so much as fingered a girl round the back of the bike sheds when they were seven, Murdoch will find out.

The only person who can attack Murdoch without life changing consequences is God himself.

Sorted that for you.

It makes me laugh how Labour are making such a meal of this, I can well imagine that Murdoch has masses of dirt on them too. They would be very wise to STFU right now IMO.

Most of the Labour lot know they're likely to be out of the picture for a while. The publicity is career building for Watson; he certainly won't want to back down now he's got a taste for blood. Besides there isn't normally a lot of dirt to dig on a career politician because they've never done anything.

So the four Tory MP's refused to sign up to the full report, wonder why? Nothing to do with their boss sailing close to Murdoch. Still scared stless of him then.

So they should be. Murdoch has more power than they do. By a long way.

But you already know that, eh comrade.
