taxman Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ill bet if you find the person who stands to gain the most from this you will find the instigator. The whole thing is a farce to feed to the sheep with a goal.If Murdock doesnt get the BskyB deal someone else will. What "instigator"? Do you mean the News of The World who hacked into people's phones or do you mean the people who tirelessly tried to uncover the scandal in the face of police indifference, bribes from News International and mockery from the Lord Mayor of London? Crimes were committed. There should have been a proper investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riche Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 He created 50,000 + jobs and a media empire. He as done more good than bad I would say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Phil Davies is made of FAIL! Remember his comments the other week about disabled working for less than minimum wage? Were going to have to rename you 'Newton's third law'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hitler created hundereds of thousands of jobs and also a huge empire, do you hold him in the same regard? Likening Rupert Murdoch to Adolf Hitler, do you expect anybody to take you seriously now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Likening Rupert Murdoch to Adolf Hitler, do you expect anybody to take you seriously now? E-clips wasn't likening Murdoch to Hitler - merely drawing attention to how ridiculous it is to laud people for the good things they do whilst ignoring the bad things they do.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 the News of The World who hacked into people's phones No, it didn't; and nor did any of its employees. Even the outside hacker hacked into voicemails only (not during telephone calls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Murdochs are passing the blame onto their lawyers and Rebekah Brooks who will pass it on to individual journalists who will pass it on to to the private investigators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, because it was those selfsame private investigators who alone committed potentially criminal actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidney Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 It was interesting to see MP's turning on him. Not too long ago he was their big mate. Its also interesting that RM said the politician he was closest to was Gordon Brown. There's been a deafening silence from Labour supporters about this. I can't really understand all the fuss about the BskyB take over. Its not some sort of Dr Evil plan to take over the world. Its a successful business man wanting to buy a successful company to make money for himself and shareholders. As far as I can remember this is what business is all about, making money? On the whole RM has been good for the country. He's provided thousands of jobs. His Sky TV service is very good. His company puts millions into British sport enabling teams and individuals to compete at the highest level. Of course there have been serious errors at the company by the Murdochs aren't responsible for this. The whole thing has become a big stick by which the left can beat RM. At a time when the country's in dire financial trouble we need people like him to supply the jobs and create wealth. Although, as usual it appears that success is seen as some sort of capitalist master plan to beat the downtrodden workers into sub-mission...
