Murdoch: Ouf! Is this meltdown?

[Nick Armstrong]

Or maybe in extremis :yikes:

Bearing in mind that de minimis non curat lex...

I quite agree with you, french frank but your concerns will count for nought when sundry ne'er-do-wells get their teeth stuck into Lord Justice Leveson's apparent friendships. I'm not suggesting that he is sacked, merely that he is candid about his relationships, whatever they may be, with Cameron or to whomsoever the Inquiry is reporting.:smiley:

I e-mailed my MP with several relevant articles from the papers and she's replied saying that she agrees that these matters should be cleared up before the enquiry and that she's written to the prime Minister suggesting this.

I'll report back if/when I get a further reply.

Another piece of the jigsaw falls into place ....

kelvin sails close to the coulson appointment to the tory party by dave, (bearing in mind australian news previously linked to upthread)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/video/2011/oct/12/kelvin-mackenzie-attacks-cameron-video

there was also some pretty sawdid comments from kelvin on yahoo/sky, last night, but they've disappeared this morning. perhaps someone thought better of it? or, perhaps sky are revamping it....or something.

Paul Dacre senses hypocrisy

i wonder how he did that

[handsomefortune]

oooops, sordid? kelvin (apparently) saw that dave did some intimate tickling of murdoch's ....ego. except kelvin didn't put it this way.

'the wall street journal' was good value, at one cent a newspaper in europe ....perhaps 'the sun' might soon have to follow suit as regards 'competitive pricing', and also give it away free, to sustain circulation!

fancy murdoch also owning the dow jones paper, he's been so busy, meanwhile no one has apparently noticed.

Oh deepjoy unconfined!! :ok::ok::biggrin:

Rupert and James Murdoch's positions at News Corporation look increasingly under pressure after two of its most powerful shareholders joined the chorus of investors calling for them to be ousted from the board.

Oh joy, oh Rapture unconcealed!!

Really. Do you people have nothing else going on in your lives???

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

indeed we do Mr Pee, occupying places, making banners, obtaining bail and attending A&E for eye trauma amongst many other demanding little jobs .... speaking of which today's Indie reports that the Plod have upped the numbers on Weeting and other projects with peculiar names but all associated with the nasty M Empire ...

What a provocative post! :laugh:

from amateur's telegraph link

By speaking out, Hermes joins a growing list of shareholders that have called for an overhaul of the News Corp board, including America's Christian Brothers Investment Services, Amalgamated Bank, Central Labourers' Pension Fund and New Orleans Employees' Retirement System.

what the hell took these chaps so long to express concerns about corpo culcha though?

who's to say that if they go, that all will be 'happily corporate' once more? is it actually possible?

still, it's good to see the empire slipping out of their grasp though. just in terms of stemming meglomania, and nepotism.....not to mention orrid endings for v greedy so and so's. i wonder what the mrs murdochs think..... ? one may be thinking 'die die die and quick before you're ousted', for max inheritance settlement. or, perhaps they're busy getting blessed on the banks of the river nile (again). just as jesus once did - in the bible... aaaaaaah! actually, one thing that they have got in common perhaps is that 'the wall street journal' and the bible are both circulated for free! :biggrin:
