The British government will support the motion tabled by Labor against Rupert Murdoch tomorrow. The goal is to force the communications tycoon to withdraw the offer launched for the purchase of the entire capital of BSkyB satellite TV, which has 10 million customers in Great Britain. Taking a step back is "in the interests of Murdoch himself", reads the text of the motion.
A proposal that found the two sides in agreement, united by the "disgust" (term used by Gordon Brown) for the sensational wiretapping scandal that has already led to the closure of the "News of the World", the historic Sunday tabloid in the hands of to the News Corporation, the colossal holding company of the Australian shark. The document that will be launched tomorrow will not have a binding nature, but will simply constitute a single opinion expressed by Parliament. In any case, the work of the Commission on Competition, called to judge Murdoch's proposal by September, will continue.
