Whilst I don't have much time for Rupert Murdoch, I find it astonishing that the Parliamentary Committee can (albeit by a 6-4 vote) say that he is "not a fit person" to run a major international company. That is a subjective, not objective, conclusion and reflects poorly on the independence of the committee. If it were proved in law that he knowingly colluded with phone hacking it would be a different story, as he would be guilty of an offence and would face criminal proceedings. It is not, however - and thankfully so - up to politicians to decide who is fit or not to run a company.

On the same subject, I find this story rather interesting:

Another poor day for our political system, I'm afraid.

As someone says in the replies underneath the article "If Rupert had continued to support the Scottish window licker,none of this enquiry stuff would have happened". Very true.
