We need a rebel uprising to get rid of the lot of them. .

between them over the years, as well as the general economic down turn and stupid investment bankers and other big business, they all created the debt crisis/recession.  whichever one is in would have to take measures to reduce it anyway which would pee people off no matter what way they went with cuts.. they have to keep us viable as a country for trade purposes... if we have anything left to trade after Union demands for ever higher pay and peace work etc priced us out of any foreign market also closing businesses and didn't help inflation figures either in the 70's.. . .

wonder if the Untied Nations would interfere or not if they set the army on us

Always interesting to get the sun reader view.

Three years to go.  Plenty of time for the Tories to crawl back into Murdoch's pocket.  I believe they will. Cameron's corrupt refusal sack his idiot Murdoch cheerleading minister is utterly corrupt and a sure sign he knows that giving Murdoch what he wants will save his worthless skin.

I find it odd that at no time has any of our media asked Hunt to justify why the Murdoch deal not going through would have 'set British media back'.  When the Mail and Telegraph join with their 'liberal' enemies, The Guardian and the BBC to voice concerns over Murdoch then that suggests to me that it's not in the interest of British media at all.  Quite the opposite.

IMO, Jeremy (Hunt is spinning what's good for the Tory Party as what's good for British media.  Past form tells us that Murdoch will do a job on the Labour Party if the Tories play ball.  Murdoch's default choice of government will always be a Conservative gov't but his own ambitions mean that the colour of the rosette is secondary as long as the government is generally right wing and gives him what he demands.

The right wing press are throwing a lot of scorn at Cameron (not that he doesn't deserve any of it) but also because they wanted an outright Tory government in the first place. 

In the short term they'd prefer Cameron gone, dissolving the Coalition with David Davies elected as leader to call a general election where Davies would pitch as the deregulating, tax cutting (for the rich, naturally), right wing anti-Europe party of their wet dreams.  

I think the right wing press is simply flexing its muscles while its safe to do so - with little chance of a Labour government any time soon. 

Yes I'm sure you are correct.

However I worry that Ed in spite of his excellent left wing breeding might, like Blair, accept the Murdoch shilling.

i'm with you olls, each and every govt. of whatever colour  can promise what they like, when in actual fact what it boils down to is ' vote for us!! we will do  things ever so slightly differently'

let murdoch bring them all down, lets get a look at our noble rulers with their pants down.

I have never read the sun either...

I'm never sure if peeps such as yourself are joking, or whether you really mean it.   Do you know what happens when nation states are destabilised? Send the troublemaker home!

In the 70s, they asked gov'ts if they 'could work with the unions', now they should be asking gov'ts if they 'can work with Mr Murdoch'.

They created a monster.  I don't need to tell you that the man has vast media monopolies no British national, never mind a foreigner should ever have been allowed to accrue in the first place.  Yet has the brass neck to tout himself as the outsider standing up to the state establishment. He is the establishment.

I have quite a lot of sympathy with Blair over this.  IMO, after watching Kinnock relentlessly trashed and ridiculed by Murdoch media, Blair did have little choice but to try to get favourable coverage. Admittedly, he went well beyond the call of duty in sucking up to Murdoch.

It's not so much a case of taking the Murdoch shilling, more a case of paying the Murdoch protection racket.

I may use a couple of your points  if that's OK.  

Murdoch's not interested in bringing corrupt governments down if their corruption is in Murdoch's self interest.  It's a protection racket Murdoch runs.

Elected governments can be as corrupt as they like as long as they do what Murdoch wants.  Murdoch will protect them, if they cross him, Murdoch does his best to crucify them.
