That's right, because they will find that there's no basis on which to block Mr Murdoch from getting what he wants.

He may not be well liked, but any refusal to grant permission must have a proper and legal basis.

If they come to a surprise and perverse decision to block this, he will appeal and win. Decisions of this nature cannot be made on the basis of how liked the person is.

Well, I'm not stopping my subscription to Sky and Now TV because Rupert Murdoch gets control. I value Now TV too much to give that up. I'm not cutting off my nose to spite my face!
