Media Barons and their UK assets.

[Martial Arts Man]

The last two days have got me thinking; what will it take to get rid of GB and his cronies before nexzt year's election? (without, I must add, just forcing the resignation of Brown).

The only thing I can think of that would really accelerate things would be if the real masters, i.e. owners not editors, of the press began to feel personally worried about the value of theirs and their mates' UK assets.

If the pound continues to slide, as it surely must, how long before these guys decide enough is enough?

Murdoch could remove the government within a few weeks I reckon, if he chose to.


Is this scenario plausible? Is there an alternative?

I feel you've posted with the wrong title, there is probably much gallows humour to be had, by reposting a new thread, posing the question,

"Just what do you think it would take to make Gordon Brown, Darling and the Labour goverment, resign and/or call a general election?"

How long would that take though, following a non-sale?

Can you explain that for me?

The way I understand it is; gilts don't sell. Government cannot pay bills. IMF called in. IMF ask for conditions.

Is it plausible that all that and the resultant fall out could happen in the space of say, a week?

Would that scenario guarantee the fall of the gov't? They aren't well known for doing the right thing after all.....? (govt that is)
