nothing changes

As the media and the chattering classes obsess with the News Corporation death spiral the rest of us shrug and get on with the daily task of earning a living. Apparently the British people are incensed...really? The to-ings and fro-ings of incestuous journalists,cops and politicians is of only passing interest to many of us, we just want the corrupt punished and blame attached to the guilty. As for a root and branch reform of the media perhaps they could start with its biggest outlet, the BBC, a body that works against and betrays the British people every day.

Well said Thud! The BBC needs some serious reform - the TV Licence is a shameful tax imposed to support a corporation that delivers very little real value.

As to the NoTW scandal - well, the more vile it got, the more copies it sold...."as you sow, so shall you reap."

mad hysteria over the phone tapping of celebs....and a shrug of the shoulders on the matter of passing folding money to plod...
hell in a handcart scenario

It seems that the shenanigans at News Int. are the only things going on in the world at the moment - nothing else is happening. Or rather nothing else is in the news.

It's not what's happening, that we're told, it's what they want us to know.

The BBC can be screwed by a change in the telecomunnication laws, the change is simple,change the requirement of a tvtuner in the licence to the BBC,the reqirement would then be you need a tv licence to watch the BBC, SKY etc a licence wouldn't be required, watch how many would buy a licence, it would force the BBC to encrypt and become a pay as you watch to survive, the say everbody watches the BBC,they would then have chance to prove it.
