Very. The majority of politicians are in thrall to Murdoch; if they aren't they're soon sorted. Just witness the love-ins of politicians of all parties with members of the Murdoch brigade. If Murdoch wants to ruin your life, then he will; if he can't find anything, then he'll make it up. Libel - of course, but even if you can afford to sue the Murdoch press, they can afford to pay the damages many times over and they'll issue a tiny apology somewhere on page 14 or so. Read the Guardian and Indy and listen to the BBC news. The McCanns need the money: Murdoch needs some brownie points following the phone hacking and now a contempt of court action. Cameron and most MP's will dance to Murdoch's tune.
