Do not know? This is the best bit and this is what HOM3R said about charity.

Mitsubishi
"We didn't want to have anything to do with a paper that would behave in that way." The firm will give its unspent money to charity ChildLine.

A good idea , aside from all these allegations, anyone who buys Murdochs tabloids needs their head testing I've never seen as much trash.
I can recall major global incidents and the NOTW run a headline like Jordan considering breast reduction :-)

l have detested Murdoch for over 20 years and will never buy his newspapers as it goes against everything l believe in and these new slimy, insidious and disgusting chapters are no surprise because they represent what this man stands for as this leopard has never changed its spots.

I am so happy that I do not subscribe to SKY nor do I read/buy any of Murdoch's ****.

Paul McMullen bears the attitude of a man asking what all the fuss is about? Hello, you stupid scumbag, your newspaper colleagues are beneath contempt. You belong in the gutter along with your newspapers.

I think Virgin should do an extra special deal for all Sky customers that want to switch and don't want to give a further penny to Mad Murdoch...

Tesco's have recently done a shopping saving deal with The Sun/NoTW haven't they?

The sad thing about all this is if Murdoch eventually gets the green light to takeover BSKYB he could end up getting it cheaper than he thought due to Sky's shares taking a dip.

No he could not as I have posted before?
Quote:
Which brings me to my third big point. I don't see how News Corporation, owner of News International, can pursue its takeover of British Sky Broadcasting at this juncture - or at least that is the inescapable conclusion of conversations I've had with those close to the bid.
On this last issue, and as I've pointed out before, Ofcom is under a legal obligation to ensure that the owners of broadcasters such as BSkyB are fit and proper.
But pending the results of the police enquiry into alleged illegal behaviour by the News of the World, and pending a public disclosure by News International of the way that it has changed its structures and practices to ensure such abuses never happen again, Ofcom is not in a position to adjudicate whether News Corporation is fit and proper.
That poses a dilemma for British Sky Broadcasting's independent directors. They know there is an increased risk of regulatory intervention by Ofcom to frustrate the takeover.
Because of that execution risk, they would have to demand a much steeper price from News Corporation than would otherwise be the case. It is their fiduciary duty to do so - and News Corporation, run by Rupert Murdoch, will be well aware of that.
Which means that even if - as is likely - the Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt gives a green light for the bid to be launched in a couple of weeks or so, it would be both potentially expensive and very risky for News Corporation to press the button on the bid then.
