Tracey Simpson-Laing (Soapbox, March 17) is right about David Cameron and Rupert Murdoch and their attacks on the BBC. What she fails to mention is that, until The Sun newspaper (owned by Mr Murdoch) switched its support from Labour to the Conservatives, Labour did everything it could (including taking Test Match cricket away from terrestrial TV and giving it to Sky) to keep in Murdoch’s good books; Tony Blair even flew all the way to Australia to lick his posterior.

It doesn't provide them with profit and they can't begin to compete with it.
HANDS OFF MURDOCH AND THOSE HE HOLDS SWAY WITH!! The NHS and BBC are like our language, dear to our hearts.
The people love it and you take it at your peril.
