He'll brazen it out. Politicians these days have no shame at all. In any reasonably functioning democracy, he'd be looking at a criminal investigation.In this one he'll get moved to another job in the next reshuffle. Possibly Northern Ireland, the traditional exile for ministers who have made a complete arse of it in public

The Tories are all too chummy with each other. Hunt was clearly the Murdoch champion in government - notice what happened when Vince Cable, who was originally in charge of the BSkyB bid let it slip that he was going to war with Murdoch. The job was given to a more supplicant person to handle.

All politicians have been too chummy with the Murdochs.

This makes interesting reading: http://sturdyblog.wordpress.com/2012/04 ... murdoched/

Quote:
There is also a concerted move to take this revelation outside its context. Its context is this: James Murdoch being friends with Osborne; Rebekah Brooks being friends with Cameron; Cameron appointing the highly questionable Andy Coulson as the Downing Street PR supremo; Rupert Murdoch being the first person to visit the newly elected PM via the Downing Street back door; Cameron announcing a scaling down of Ofcom and a cut to the BBC budget; Cameron relieving Vince Cable of responsibility the moment he made negative noises about the bid and appointing in his place a self-described “cheerleader” for the Murdochs; Cameron having dinner with Murdoch and Brooks two days later and discussing the bid (probably after riding a horse loaned to her by police chiefs now resigned in disgrace); Lobbygate; Cash for Dinners.


The question is, where do we go from here? Cameron got elected partly on a promise to clean up politics. What a brilliant job he's done so far.
