The British offices of the Murdoch entertainment empire 21st Century Fox have been raided by investigators from the European Commission, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.
It is understood that competition watchdogs gained access to the company’s offices in Hammersmith, west London, early today to seize documents and computer records.

Good. Hope they knock 12 shades of shyte out of him and his crooked businesses.
I fear that this is why Brexit was 'funded' however.
The **** is made of teflon
The European Commission confirmed it is investigating media companies across the EU over a suspected cartel in sports rights distribution and broadcasting.
Getting in before his sponsored Brexit happens I guess.Quote:

And their lives in the short term at least are going to be worse off for it.
probably weren't clever enough as you are to see through all the propaganda. It's amazing how many truly amazingly bright people habitually frequent message boards..Quote:

Intelligence isn’t the issue it’s people not getting a fair crack at life due to the failing of successive governments to take notice.
Wales and the north of England aren’t full of stupid people, but they are full of people who time and again have been ignored by the government. The right wing media and the government have blamed this solely on immigrants and the EU for years and it came back to bite Cameron on the arse.
I’m not saying those things are completely innocent but they are no where near the main reasons people are eating from food banks, crime has increased and the NHS is failing. Both main parties and Murdoch want you to think they’re the main reasons though.
Some of the most intelligent people I know voted brexit; lawyers, traders, engineers. They were all taken in by it too. That’s why it’s a problem, it doesn’t target the stupid.
