More Of The Same

The politicians fear Murdoch because they believe his papers can determine the outcome of elections. This belief has never been put to the test.  No politician who defied Murdoch has ever won an election because no politician has ever dared defy him.  Perhaps now, when the tide of public opinion is running so strongly against him, one of them might break ranks. Cameron for instance? He's already in power, so what has he to lose but his chains?

Cameron seems a most unlikely candidate. Why would a man who speaks for the rich, and faithfully serves their interests, question the business practices of one of the richest and most powerful men in the world? It makes no sense.

He's also a populist- and this is becoming a hugely popular movement.

But his deep and personal involvement with Brooks may well demonstrate his populism to be little more than a vehicle for his ambition.

O yes, sure: Cameron is a PR man- and very good at it too. Heaven only knows what his true values are- if he has any.
