This is as good a place as any. Indeed, considering the role of the Murdoch Empire in most or all of the things that you describe, it is the very best place to start.David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-16772146032956944762012-12-02T19:26:17.144+00:002012-12-02T19:26:17.144+00:00"that it is the sovereign will of Parliament&..."that it is the sovereign will of Parliament"<br /><br />Ah, that same "sovereign will" that gave us the Iraq War, mass immigration,EU membership, gay marriage, useless police, mass welfarism and social services that persecute parents with conservative opinions.<br /><br />You put your faith in the "sovereign will" of a bunch of clapped-out liberal expenses cheats who have ruined this country for the last 50 years?<br /><br />I agree with you on all the other issues. <br /><br />But a state-regulated press would ensure nothing would ever be done about those issues ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-37912719766874436292012-12-02T19:20:20.630+00:002012-12-02T19:20:20.630+00:00Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.

...<br />"There is a Commons majority behind it"<br /><br />That tells us what exactly? Erm, that Governments like to control the press. Which rather reinforces my point.<br /><br />As Peter Hitchens said this morning, those MP's and their Parties have done worse things to this country than any newspaper.<br /><br />It's them we need protection from, not the press.<br /><br />The newspapers are the only thing in Britain NOT run by the liberal establishment. The social services, the quangos, the LEA's, the Charity Commission, Ofcome, the BBC etc are all opposed to every cause you and I support.<br /><br />With regulation the newspapers would become just like them.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-61853422395313635292012-12-02T19:09:39.333+00:002012-12-02T19:09:39.333+00:00I would never have "allies" like yours i...I would never have "allies" like yours in the first place.<br /><br />I can't imagine why you think that I would defend Tony Blair.
