If the Tories win the next UK election (they probably will), it's been suggested that as part of a deal they've done with Rupert Murdoch, they may destroy the BBC new website, or at least castrate it severely, so Murdoch can make more profits.

- cabalamat 17y agoThe present government are quite happy to throw away the people's historic rights such as the rihght to a fail trial and no collective punishment, in their Digital Economy Bill, in order to line foreigners' pockets (the RIAA and MPAA). And the Tories' response to this? They think the DE Bill is basically sound, but doesn't go far enough. I think we can take it as read that both the Labour and Conservative parties, when faced with a choice between the British people, and lining foregners' pockets, will choose the latter, esepcially when they are big donors.
