This may be a good place to ask, what is BskyB? Cos I thought he already owned Sky, so is it a coincidence of names that is confusing me or is BskyB something to do with something he already owns ?

Good, but the Murdochs still have their fingers in far too many pies, without this deal happening.

I'm glad. He's way too powerful and needs to be cut down to size. I sense this is now happening on both sides of the Atlantic.

NoW - Gone
BskyB bid - gone (for now at least)
now Mr Murdoch do us all a favour and get rid of all the other rags you own and leave us to clear up the mess and make sure nothing like this ever happens again

many newspapers will have been caught up in this - Piers Morgan is now becoming embroiled follow guido fawkes' blog, and on twitter.

in the initial investigation, senior police found out they were being hacked and then squashed the enquiry without admitting it; in fear of being blackmailed

the police need as good a clearout as the media
