Murdoch "Not Fit To Head An International Corporation."

The Culture Committee has told us all today what most of us already knew - "Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company." The big surprise was that the four Tories on the Committee refused to endorse these findings. It's not difficult to see why. The Tories want to return us all to the "good old days" when they and Rupert Murdoch could do what they like and we were forever kept in the dark. All Democracy needs to flourish is more light, and the Tories certainly don't want that. It is now as clear as day that, despite everything we have learned about Murdoch and his murky dealings, that the Tories were more than willing to clear the way for his complete takeover of BSkyB on a nod and a wink. Jeremy Hunt, smug and overconfident, was busily engaged getting the Murdoch's bid in through the back door when he was found out. Now David Cameron has been reduced to insulting Dennis Skinner because he couldn't answer the question put to him and was on the back foot trying to defend the indefensible. So the question remians, why do the Tories still choose to believe that Rupert Murdoch is "a right and proper person?" The answer is blindingly simple - he's rich and powerful and, for a Tory, that's all you need to be. They would reduce our Democracy on this country to a playground for the rich and powerful in which ordinary people, you and I, are of no account.

A4e Lands Lucrative Government Contract For Being Useless.

Emma Harrison, famous for founding one of the most successful useless companies in the world, has landed yet more multi-million pound government contracts despite having an "abysmal" record in the welfare to work scam. The turnover of A4e was between £160 and £180 million last year, while the company directors syphoned off £11 million for themselves with 87% going to Emma Harrison herself. In return they managed to get a derisory 9% of their clients off benefits and into work despite promising to deliver 30%. The government's response has been that other providers have been just as useless and that A4e should therefore be given more contracts on the basis of only being averagely incompetent. We asked a Tory party spokesperson why they are wasting public money in this utterly cavalier way; "We've found the scheme to be very useful for shovelling tax payer's money into the pockets of our cronies who then, in turn, shovel some of it back into our pockets through party "donations." No self-respecting bunch of government spivs and conmen could possible pass up a chance like this to plunder the public purse while maintaing the fiction of legality. And, at the end of day, who suffers? Taxpayers who don't deserve any better and the unemployed who don't count. Why do you think we forced unemployment up in the first place?"
