actually, the 'fit and proper' threat is just about the biggest leverage the committee has, right now.

The company was the cheapest bidder of three. If it went out to tender and the job was done properly....

If I was Keith Vaz, what questions would I ask?
I'd maybe start off with a few simple ones like 'Do you know what 'telling the truth' means?'.
Start simple and work up to the difficult ones, I say.

To be fair, '11 dinners' hardly strikes me as a longlasting close personal friendship. I wonder if the last dinner went something along the lines of 'look, it's not you, it's me. I just don't see a future in this...'

When Cameron was lying through his teeth about who told him what and when. He lied to Parliament. Miliband looked astonished, Clegg closed his eyes in quiet horror at the realisation that Cameron just brought his own government down so it's all been for nothing, and Osborne's already terrified visage took on an aura of total and uttter defeat.
It's beautiful. You have to watch it. Miliband was doing the horrified goldfish impression for a looooong time whilst Cameron lied and lied and lied.
has anyone got a link to the video where that gif came from please Ive watched lots and cant find the actual moment , I dont want to have to watch all the speeches although its all so entertaining

I can't work out if it is from the main footage shown either - it might be from when the director was focusing on Cameron, which is when Ed first went goldfish-like, and the camera eventually moved onto him.

As ymu might say: "His furrowed brow alerted the watching throng to a deep discomfort. Meanwhile back on the mean streets of Penge, the Bored sharpened knives, plotting."Did seeing the truth in print on your screen hurt, or something?

I already do. Well, selected journalism and comment pieces online anyway, as I do the Independent, the Mail, the Telegraph, The Morning Star and so on. Continue to pickle in the jouissance of self-loathing and other stimulants of choice you Sun reading thick tosser.
you sure? its hardly a hot topic of conversation down this way - was for a bit, and if some of todays revelations are true then that might fire it up again - but this shit doesnt really impact on peoples lives and bent coppers and dodgy hacks is hardly earth shattering news

It's corrupting. I'm not allowed to accept hospitality from a drug company without declaring it in any and every piblication and grant application that relates to their area of business. It's standard where there are potential conflicts of interest. So standard that it is illegal for an American journalist to accept hospitality. It's how proper countries do things. We just have a system of patronage that is only accessible by the rich.

It's worth watching to see just how bad you fuck it up each day.
I'd like to know who in the UK would need to deem the New Corp/NI board as 'not fit & proper' in order for the dominoes to start tumbling. Is it OFCOM, or the Dept of Culture, Monopolies Commission, or who?

It's one test OFCOM will apply. But there is the important matter of 3-4 years of related evidence to be assessed (by the PI) as well.... I haven't seen anyone yet discuss how the former can be determined while the latter is still taking evidence. Arguably, this is the first next election issue.
what are you not convinced of? there's actual figures further up the thread. i think the sun was 250 thousand down on saturday...
