James Murdoch Quits Sun & Times
The Standard got the scoop:
He never liked newspapers anyway. Big test will be whether he survives the BSkyB vote on Tuesday.

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
magic_otter says:
is there anyone in the world that Tony hasnt screwed in some way?
Totty watch tag?
Shame, i liked him.
Who’ll stand up to the state broadcaster now?
Only thing he is bothered about is lining his pocket. His daddy runs the company in a smiler way to EU, you can own shares even more shares than his daddy but his daddy’s shares are worth more when it comes to voting.
It’s a private company you ass
Businessman walks away from tiny part of business shocker
He resigned as director of three NI companies. He may have lost three salaries but his ownership in NI, whatever that is, would be unaffected.
Anonymong – take your feckin anti-psychotic tablets immediately!
“My dear ass how stupid you are.”
News Corporation is a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ, with secondary listings on the Australian Securities Exchange. Formerly incorporated in South Australia, the company was re-incorporated under Delaware General Corporation Law after a majority of shareholders approved the move on 12 November 2004. At present, News Corporation is headquartered at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, in New York City, in the newer 1960s–1970s corridor of the Rockefeller Center complex.

He’s probably got more money than he can ever spend and would lnever need to work again if he so chose (indeed, probably never needed to in the first place) so I doubt very much it is about lining his pocket.
Echoing, the previous post: you crass ass.
No doubt he’s doing something right (apart from being born into the right family, of course), but he’s still a strange cookie.
Greed, look at Gaddafi and Mubarak. Its never enough.
If I was worth as much as he, I could do strange. And I wouldn’t give a fuck who thought so.
AND I’d have Watson shadowed round the clock in Brighton.
It´s not a big secret you can get rich as a criminal very rich,but if you believe Al Capone was the richest and greatest gangster who ever stepped on our planet you´re at fault. He was not even one of the first 5 richest criminals.
http://www.worldfinancialblog.com/entertainment/the-5-richest-criminals-of-all-the-time/
Is Tony in the top 5?
I suppose Madoff was the one who made off with more of other peoples’ money than anyone else in history
Nothing like the mafia…. Giving up power.
They keep it all in the family, Cosa Nostra “Our Thing”
The loyalty to the family resides with Murdoch snr. Jnr as Guido says rather not be in newspapers. Jnr needs to knife snr to ….. Be acceptable . Hence we see the start of the end of the Murdoch as a mafia analogy.
Same ones that ever didn’t. They work hand in glove or should I say Cock in Arse. Same Scum same story. Ask yourself this one. When the NOW or any other media Spy are tailing or listening too the future King, William I am talking about here. What the Fu-k is GCHQ doing about it or his security detail, NOTHING. They use the same tactics.
A bit strange when News international could be being funded by some terrorist organisation and those media Spies could be working or being infiltrated by some foreign power. Do you not think it strange that our own security appartatus have just stood by?????
Can any one tell me Is James Gay? Or does he just look Gay
He has a wife.
So does Gordon Brown.
So does Tony Bliar
So do I.
So does Julian Clary.
Oh no I don’t bitch.
Alright then. I do bitch but I don’t have a wife. I do have a dog which might be a bitch.
Billy would like to be his friend, he “likes him”

Tory students burn Barack Obama effigy
Conservative students at Scotland’s oldest university have apologised after members of their society burned an effigy of US President Barack Obama.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/8909030/Tory-students-burn-Barack-Obama-effigy.html
watch and learn something.
Then go to US. Do they have free borders like UK?
So when the P@kistanis burnt a effigy of Dave because he said they had a terrorist problem you was similer outraged?
The freedom of speech and expression also means the freedom to offend.
I support there right to burn a effigy (whoever it is of) as i supported those Muslims that wanted to burn poppies, i also support the freedom to burn books (as long as you own them).
unless you want the state to regulate speech and expression?
“The freedom of speech and expression also means the freedom to offend.”
Careful Billy, you know what folks on here write, that is an open invitation
Very naughty children, but students will be students, we will get over it
Made me laugh as the indignant lefties and liberals were shocked and stunned, ‘cos he is the first ‘black’ president and Conservative students were being nasty. No No No he is mixed race……..
Did they then run through the town looting and destroying what they couldn’t carry?
Thought not.
Burning Guy Fawkes or an effigy are not quite looting in Tooting
What the hell is worth looting in that dungheap Tooting?
Sadiq Khans office?
Orifice? Or did you spell something correctly for once?
i was doubley carefull with that one.
The first native American president would be a real shocker.
Us too busy making much wampum fleecing palefaces at casinos us own. Us not want take pay cut. Unnhhh.
Us too busy going into town.
I like my presidents like I like my coffee. Kenyan.
Those Scottish students appear to have had their wires crossed; 5 November is the night to burn Obama et al. and sundry. Two weeks late to the party– what does this say about Scottish Tories?
They might be 50 weeks early.
If early,did they adjust for 2012 being a leap year?
Anon, what you should be critical of is the lack of mythological awareness shown by the students. Since you regard Obama is the new Messiah, the effigy should strictly have been nailed to a tree.
“as” – even! Must get back to Uni!
Well that is a remarkable story. Who’d have thought there still some Conservatives in Scotland?
A threatened species I think. That’s the Jocks for you – will threaten most things at the drop of a kilt.
Wesign!
Don’t worry Karachi Miliband, revenge is a dish best served cold and the dirty secrets of numerous Labour individuals will be released one by one. There are many Labour MP’s with twitching sphincters including Tom Watson.
Guilty, m’lud.
Why did you hack my phone Murdoch and why did you have former policeman follow me for eight years? I cannot for the life of me understand why I have not been invited to give evidence to the Leveson inquiry. Boaz.
Perhaps the reason is that ,like the others giving evidence to his Lordship,you would have to swear on oath to tell the truth,the whole truth & nothing but the truth;it is not permissible to do a “Presclot” & take the oath with your fingers crossed.
Because the Chief Freemason didn’t think it necessary. Jabhulon
Dont worry Neo Con Loons…..we still intend to hang the C**unt, and his fuckwit dad along with his “love me long time” wife
Dream on fuckwit.
I only hope News International go on the attack…. will be an interesting time ahead if they do.
Miliband sanctions union funds to pay left wing bloggers ti disrupt right wing sites. Bet Moussa never sees a penny!
Not if it’s performance related, he won’t. As a troll, he’s shite.
True enough, Moussa makes Harman Pride et al, look like towering intellects by comparison. By any standard MK is dire.
Dream On …The apologists are funnier than ever today. 6 months ago – who would have thought that:-
* Cockslon, Dave’s mate, would be forced to resign
* BSkyB Deal shot out of water
* NoW scrapped
* Numerous neo cons nuts arrested
* Murdoch and his mongo minions at Tory HQ diving for cover
* Murdoch’s dragged through the dirt.
* The whore Brookes resigned.
….Dream On….most of our dreams are coming TRUE !!!!!!
Most of your dreams are a slimy deposit in your pyjama bottoms. What the fuck is that list, numbnutz???!
I cried when I read that headline. I nearly didn’t go their private party.
Yawn…….
You are right, this makes a complete laughing stock of Sarah “pyjama party” Brown, and St Tone the Baptist immersing the Murdoch’s Anointed in the river Jordan.
Thank god the tories’ involvement was limited to giving a job to a dull bloke in a suit for a couple of years.
Labour are at war with Murdoch. Labour have always been at war with Murdoch.
Remember kids! Socialists are bad mmkay?
Stalin.
Hitler.
Pol Pot.
Mugabe.
Spoken like a true NAZI it’s all in there, lets just check that though to be sure.
Left-wing – check!
Racism – check!
Murdering of your political opponents – check!
Yep all boxes ticked well done indeed, when are you planing your next trip to Norway?
Well said Moussa my good fellow.
You did an excellent job of shredding my personal letters to Muamar before sneaking out of Lybia.
Cherie has bought you a nice flat in Bristol as a reward.
Must dash my private jet has arrived to whisk us away to our villa in Barbados
My villa is considerably bigger that yours.
I’ve shat in bigger rooms than your pathetic excuse for a villa.
Champagne anyone?
I never say no to taxpayer funded bubbly.
Your villa?
Surely you mean someone else’s villa.
“Punters also slashed the odds of James Murdoch being forced to resign as News International CEO from odds on favourite to go, to a little less than evens. James Murdoch actually performed solidly yesterday, demonstrating a clear grasp of the issues. The way some people have been talking you would think they were on the verge of being burnt at the stake.” (20/7/11)
Don’t worry all you Murdoch hating lefties. It looks like your mate Lord Leveson will hang, draw and quarter Murdoch at the witch trial, sorry, enquiry he’s presiding over.
I’ve said on a previous thread, this isn’t an enquiry, it’s a show trial of the press which Leveson has already pre-judged. He’s asking leading questions of the witnesses in order to give him the answers he wants and he’s allowing speculation, suspicion, ignorant opinion and hearsay, along with bare-faced malicious allegations instead of demanding evidence based facts.
Why isn’t he allowing cross examination of the witnesses? There are serious allegations being made by some of them who, let’s be honest, have plenty of sordid behaviour to hide and would benefit by the introduction of a privacy law. The so called lawyers examining the witnesses are going as easy as they can on them, even though some of them, Grant and Coogan come to mind, obviously have scores to settle and are eaten up with revenge.
This enquiry is fast becoming a farce!
***applause*** Well said cynical and very true.
If we’re lucky, Murdoch might close down The Times.
LOL…. Poor old Danny Fuckastien
There you go again with your Nazi anti-semitic sneering.
All minorities are wonderful. Except 4 by 2s, who are the scum of the Earth (excluding our Dear Leader).
Looks very likely, when one considers the money the title is making – not..
Can we have the media in the dock please
The broadcast media is just as bad at times…how many times have we seen them launching the “Sky or BBC Copter” to cover events such as the McCann’s drive to airport(now if that isn’t intrusive ???).The ,edia have obviously learnt nothing from their pious remarks after being accused of causing D*i*a*n*a’s car to crash in 1997
Should have got me in to do it. I get results
Indeed.
Murdoch doesn’t care if a politician is left or right.All he’s interested in is that the politician is in power and does as he’s told.
If Labour was in power Miliband would be fawning like a dog before him, just like Blair and Brown (before Murdoch concluded Brown was a loser).
But… but… but…. you aren’t following the party line! No doubt the trolls will be lining up now. Me? I’m applauding you
Murdoch senior has been selling (non-voting) shares in NI recently, amassing some $47 million. He and the boy are planning some new venture – never underestimate the Murdochs ability to see the next big thing.
I heard on the grapewine they’re going to buy out the Guardian and the Mirror. Change their political allegiances, sack the wasters (Polly & Toilets for starters) and find jobs for the NoTW ex-hacks.
I was about to write “but that would lose all their readers.”
Then I remembered, they don’t have any.
For all those calling for the death of Murdoch/Sky, be careful what you wish for, if he goes you lefties will lose working class vote as a good few football clubs will go bust.
Great stratergy eh?
They want all newspapers to be just like The Guardian.
Loss making?
Tax avoiding.
The Guardian’s a newspaper?
Bet fat boy Tw*tson is rubbing his filthy hands with glee. I saw him on Brillo’s show today, and got the impression that Brillo was giving him an easy ride.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Brillo knows something.
Loved Brillo bitchslapping that Tory flunkey when asking him which government in the world was actively seeking to increse its debt levels as an answer to the debt crisis. The useless fucking Tories of course, who will increase the nation’s debt by 51 % between 2010 and 2015.
Note to Osborne – Plan A is fucked without growth and you ain’t got any!
Andrew Neil is a shocking example of a journalist who actually does his research before asking questions, truly shocking, I tell you…
OMG !!
Where’s Schrody’s Cat today , guys ???
While he ain’t listenin : how comes he has the power to delete comments on here ??

Down at the vets for the old cut an tuck.
He has the power of Q Ewa sweety.
Fuck me !
I reckons he can type stuff

U know I can’t do anything like that .
It is not my site .
My site is above but there ain’t nuffin on it cept “come an see Guido”.
SC x
ps I am goin out now so yous can talk bout me again x
The Cat isn’t here. And he IS here. Paradox. That, Ah say, that’s a joke, son.
I must be missing something here but the mcCanns have just said the constant press coverage was not helpful. So why did they have a press conference every day and a PR agent?
Don’t know ?, but I’ve always said there’s something dodgy about those pair.
I always suspected they may have cannibalistic tendencies, dear. Do you think they may have had an attack of “the munchies” and just couldn’t help themselves?
To implicate innocent locals and cover up the fact they’d overdosed their child?
Honestly don’t know anon, but I can’t shrug off the feeling that they know more than they’re letting on.
Does the fact that the chosen people are always slagging off the McCanns mean that Madelaine is in an illegal settlement somewhere?
Dale Farm? Of course!!
And if they didn’t like all the coverage why did they murder their daughter – what did they expect was going to happen?
This particular thread has just hit a new low. Don’t any of you think how unkind you sound with these nauseating postings.
The McCanns climbed into bed with the press for their own (understandable) reasons. They should accept that,in doing that, they had to take the rough with the smooth and stop moaning. The huge Maddy coverage would have cost them millions as ‘missing child’ advertising – and they are certainly not beyond fair criticism for their night of neglect.
I have never lost a child so I can only imagine how anguished the McCanns must feel, it must be a total nightmare and haunt them continuously.
With people in such pain how can you even try to justify some of the above comments. You make me despair that people can be so cruel.
Sungei, how do you think the abductor of Madeleine McCann managed to succeed in the commission of the crime? It didn’t have anything to do with the fact that Maddies parents decided that a night on the piss with their friends was better than staying in with their kids, did it? Nothing whatsoever to do with leaving Maddie and her siblings alone in a strange holiday flat while her parents enjoyed dining and boozing in a bar some distance away?
Save your sympathies for that poor kid. Her parents aren’t from a scummy council estate, they’re professional people who should have known better. Any criticism they receive for the neglect of their kids is fully justified in my opinion.
What an unkind person you are.
Instead of hacking phones and following people to get proof for what they’re reporting, they should follow the example of The Guardian and the BBC and just make things up.
The students Conservative and Unionist Association scum bags have staged an effigy-burning in the past. They have set light to effigies of Nelson Mandela, Gordon Brown Hazel Blears, and now Obama…But if you burn a poppy they have kittens. Scum will always rise to the top.
Those students have obviously got good taste Moussa.
LOL…. Keep up the Good Work. Such antics don’t help your cause, and those who apologise for it look even worse….Nelson Mandela…For Christ’s sake.
How can Cockhead go to see Obama, knowing that he knows, that members of his own party behave like this, for no good reason.
Obama is toast, pal.
In fact one may even say that it is a question of “Audacity of[little] Hope” at all for the US Economy under his watch…he’s strictly a “one-tem” President
Oh Moussa, you are such a pussy cat and I really hate winding you up, but I can’t help it.
Is that the first time he’s had an effigy burnt? He’s got a long way to go to catch up with the number of effigies Labour dingbats burnt of Margaret Thatcher.
Thing is Moussa we know all is not well on the right we understand and are happy to admit that improvement is needed. Your trouble is that you blindly and unquestioningly swallow and follow the party line. Your masters are screwing you over big time and you’re so kin dumb you roll on your backs and squeal for more.
Does Moussa know that the privatisation of the Royal Mail, an organisation that gifts £1 million a year minimum to the labour party, was set up by the Labour party?
Does he know that it has passed through three readings to get rid of it, in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, already under this government?
Does he know it has passed all the privatisation hurdles with the full support of the Labour party?
Why would the comrades be ratting out the other comrades Moussy?
Why are they welcoming 30,000 redundancies in 5 years? They aren’t powerless to stop it, they are actively supporting it, as they must, seeing it was a Labour idea.
As was the privatisation of the NHS that came out last week.
Those evil neo-cons you hate so much. They could be led by Ed Miliband for all the differences in policies.
Its not so much Tories have gone Labour. More that Labour have long been blue. Since about 1994 anyway.
I have nothing against people who are being persecuted in their own countries, and it is only right and proper that other countries, including the UK offer them safety, but it seems to me that these people can do anything in the UK without fear of reprisals.
There is something fundamentally wrong if we keep allowing these people to protest so vehemently against the country and taxpayers who are probably housing and feeding them, and half their families!
So, burning poppies doesn’t bother you? A deliberately offensive act, designed to greatly insult the British soldiers who fought Labour’s wars?
Do you speak for the Labour Party on this point? Is this Labour’s new viewpoint, now it’s in opposition? British soldiers = scum?
I expect it is.
That was their position when in government.
Anon.
Please read my post properly!
Patriotism: the last refuge of the scoundrel…

Moussa Koussa = Lord Haw Haw for chavs!
No Moussa is canon fodder Lord HawHaw of Foy is a far more structured and dangerous being
Engairlend calling……this is Engairlend calling……
Moussa Koussa is talking to himself again.
I’m a celebrity traitor…..get me ight from hair …..
I knew Lord Haw Haw. I worked with Lord Haw Haw. “Moussa Koussa” is no Lord Haw Haw.
Can I have the vacant jobs please?
Have your jobs vacated their special hiding place yet today, dear? Shall I bring the bucket?
I love the way he wears those Lidl £2.99 specs to appear like a man on a careful buget. Problem is, they just can’t hide his lying eyes!!

A fair review, and one which I expect to read every week for the next 42 months.
*Groans* Forty-two, you say?
When the batteries are running low, I put my mobile on vibrate and tell John I need a long chat.
A modern smartphone would not touch the sides. I expect she has kept one of those old housebrick-sized ones with the big rubber aerial
I’ll take over at The Sun. For one thing, under my leadership, there’ll be a huge increase in pussy on page 3.
*Ba-dum tish*
What do you mean? A double page colour spread of Ed Miliband?
They wanted a comment on defense so he went commando.
There’s no radiation in Fife. That’s just Gordon Brown’s bad breath.
Gordon has some glowing reports from his constituents.
I may be wrong but was it not unparliamentary for Bercow to refer to Louise Mensch as “Mrs Mensch” at pmqs?
No more unparliamentary than cutting “Dave” off in mid-flow in answering a question during PMQs whilst letting Labour MPs and Labour Front banch drone on or make hand signals in the case of Balls.
Although “Dave” was archly courteous to B*e*r*c*o*w during his next answer to a question regarding Pudsey Bear…”I must thank Mr Sp**ker for cutting me short as I would not have wished to have squeezed out a question about Pudsey Bear…”
“They have set light to effigies of Nelson Mandela, Gordon Brown Hazel Blears, and now Obama.”
Really? I never thought much of scotchish tories, or tories in general up to now. They have just gone up in my estimation with this news.
Ouch!

From The Commentator
Billy Bowden is the greatest umpire ever ! says:
Eds main problem is that he lacks spunk, he niether makes me angry (like Gordon) or charms me (like Dave), also being a member of the last government doesnt give him much scope to attack.
While i agree that Dave is dishonest to use the line that he does we sometimes forget he is a politicon and therefore dishonest.
A great piece by a up and coming star
“charms me (like Dave)” how sick can you be?
Ha Ha, i meant as one side of emotion to another, compared to Gordon, dave was a charmer.
Is this a political comment or an entry in some pre-pubescent schoolgirl’s diary? Try buying Dave a box of chocolates and then spreading your legs for Gordon, lovey. Ed needs to see a specialist.
Labour shrill complains that BBC are biased toward tories FFS!!!!!
http://labourlist.org/2011/11/shame-on-you-bbc/
How many BBC staff have become Labour Mps and how many Labour mps have ended up working for the BBC?
Deliberate leftie dirty tricks – make a few unjustified complaints and then BBC can claim to be upsetting left and right equally and so pretend they are getting it out right. I really do not see a need for the BBC anymore – private sector would fill the gap and one could then chose whose bias if any to view
WOW !!!
There’s people out there wiv even more time on their hands than me , darlin !!
