Thread Name: Petition: revoke Murdoch's licence
Subject: RE: Petition: revoke Murdoch's licence
What sort of license are we talking about here? Do you need a license to publish a newspaper in Britain? If so, I'm shocked. What does that say about freedom of the press?

If Murdoch has done something illegal, wouldn't justice be better served by sending him to jail, instead of revoking this mysterious license?

And if you can't prove he did anything illegal, what justification can there be for revoking his license?
