I think this topic should be moved to Serious Discussion as it could potentially head in that direction rather quickly.

On a lighter note, if you had bought BSkyB shares on friday at £6.93 and they go back upto their original price, it would have been a 50p+ profit, it could be worth watching to see if the price drops further!

Cameron has agreed with Labour/Lib Dems that News Corp should postpone their offer to purchase BSKYB until everything has been resolved, which could be as far away as 2014 according to the BBC.

I doubt it will ever get resolved as everyone appears to be denying any involvement in what was going on.
