observer Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Seems the press has done a sting op on Vince Cable; getting him to be honest in an unguarded moment. Now, they're saying that Vinny can't deal with the Sky merger, as he's shown himself not to be impartial. Well, hang on a minute, what politician has ever acted impartially, even when making a quasi-judicial decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 The action taken was the most convenient one. The proper course would have been to sack him. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 ... and you actually believe H, that whichever "politician" deals with this decision will be impartial? They either play to the crowd or play to the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 At least he was honest about his thoughts and feelings.... I presume though that Cameron and Clegg would prefer all their leaders to continue to lie through gritted teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Got so say I agree with your view on this Obs, and for what its worth I agree with Vince Cable on his stand on Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 "Gritted" teeth means no slip ups - as we all currently know. No -one is completely unbiased but a minister whgo is openly biased should not be making decisions, and in truth should have been sacked.

Peter T Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Surely everyone has an opinion and therefore is biased. Unless you think are politicians should be like a flock of sheep who sit around endlessly for hours on end reaching numpty conclusions. At least with Cable, people know his honest opinion and know that they have to counter his argument. To me it is the right decision because too much power aka Murdoch corrupts. Shame really. I don't particularly like Cable, but he seemed to be the only Lib-Dem with a brain cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Wern't the Tories sucking up to Murdoch prior to the election, Wavy Davy taking over where Tory Tony left off? SO, how are you going to get an unbiased decision out of a Tory on this? And how does the creation of a monopoly sit with the usual Tory mantra on competitition? Perhaps Murdoch should go all the way and become PM, like Berlesconi in Italy; it would save on pulling strings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
