Subject: Does RM expect a pay back for letting DC off the hook?
I have a feeling that TANSTAAFL may apply to News International’s sudden decision to withdraw it’s undertaking to hive off Sky News for a few years.
Wasn’t it convenient that it was announced just before David Cameron would have had to face a very hostile debate in the House of Commons thus forcing a referral to the Competition Committee – where it would have had to go in the first place if Cameron and Hunt had not accepted the NI assurances in the first place?
Anuone else share my concerns?
