News of the World

[Fat Bloke]

During the week I was asking people not to buy the news of the world and the Sun, most people agreed, but when I suggested that they should also consider cancelling their Sky TV subscription I was lucky to esape with my life.
am I being unreasonable or not ??

[Old_Geezer]

Depends on how you asked.

[Bobbisox]

the decision for BskyB has been put on hold until September, I think an awful lot of poo will hit the fan before then

Suggesting it is not unreasonable, not accepting a persons decision to keep sky is unreasonable

[MaryDou]

Personally I have found that people will only go so far to back someone else - and the idea hits the buffers when it affects the person who is asked to give something up on principle.

Have you cancelled your use of Rupert Murdock products fat bloke?

[SIRandyraven]

I have my principles ...
but if cancelling Sky HD means I will no longer get FXHD and miss Dexter ...sorry but Murdoch could eat babies as far as I'm concerned and I will still watch SKY.

You should check out what Mr Murdoch does own...
I figure that a boycott of Murdoch products will hurt Murdoch ...just a little bit ...but the man is 80 years old ...so I guess he ain't too fussed about money anymore. However those in the UK who work for SKY etc , will suffer.

I think Murdoch owns less than half of Sky at the moment, hence the plan to buy the rest, which I hope will be sabotaged by all the stories coming out proving that he isn't fit to own it. So if you only watch half of Sky's output you should be okay.

My life wouldn't come to an end if it closed down, though.

No way would I cancel Sky - it's the only place I get can get to watch my Rugby League :-)))

[Ric.ror]

I will stop my sky subscription when I can get the footie on another channel
