So that's the news of the world gone then. I had to laugh at their last front cover stating they had a 'proud' history. Laugh, i nearly wet myself. A proud history of being the lowest guttersnipe press on the block. The whole thing will unfortunately no doubt miss those actually responsible, they've probably left the paper now and will evade justice, which is a pity, people who have no respect for their fellow man should be dragged out into the street and shot.
However, this whole scandal shows just how bad it would be if Murdoch managed to get all of BSkyB, that would be catastrophic for the free press. Think of the power that man would wield if he owned that network too. Jees, frankly it scares me. Murdoch is a walking advert for abortion, the idea of him running something 70% of the TV channels we watch makes my blood freeze.
However, you can help stop this by going to http://www.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/murdoch and signing this petition. Also write to your MP and members of the Lords.
