Is he our Berlusconi? Owning multiple newspapers?
Hang on, I thought it was the BNP who were the ones complaining about foreigners disrupting our way of life? Or do “the Russians” not count?

Too predictable Rob! 
I’m not really complaining, but if I was it would be about media consolidation rather than foreign media ownership.
Is this good or bad?
Would it fold otherwise?
If this gets rid of the current editor, I’m all for it.
Is this good or bad?
It’s interesting.
It would definitely be nice to see a newspaper group that isn’t Murdoch, Desmond or crap.
