He planned the coup before the last contract was signed, he knew Branson could not keep paying if he hiked the price.
Shrewd business or more evidence of the power of git hood?

i agree Murdoch is a git.
i read somewhere that 80% of virgin customers are backing branson. i know i won't be changing to sky just to get a few channels back.
i'm sure that when the rights for the shows are up for grabs we'll see them back on virgin.

You have it in a nutshell. As much power as Blair himself. However I always believe you reap what you sow.Enough is printed about bullying and that is just what this is I hope I am right in thinking Branson is a gentleman and he could well afford it but refuses to to budge.

I would vote for an ASBO on Murdoch to keep him, his newspapers and Sky out of the UK.

Yes, - I AGREE, with you, - TOTALLY! Still, - being a WHITE Australian, - Murdoch can't HELP it! Most of them have a CRIMINAL past! Remember, white men have only BEEN in Australia, for just over TWO CENTURIES, - they used it as a PENAL COLONY!
