It was always said that UK politics is run on the back bone on the Sun newspaper.
Because the sun is the most read newspaper in N.Ireland and GB it makes sence not to drag it through the coals while it still has reader support. But
when the tides turned against the Sun's owners (news corp) over the phone hacking scandle it was open season to bring down the Murdochs.
Its all about timing. The sun has always been seen to be a labour party paper backing their policies over the consertatives. If you where a
political party running in fear of a paper and the people where against your party because of the recession would you not pull the thorn out of your
foot when it shrank and was nearly out. Of course you would.
No conspircy here, they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, the public opinion swayed in favour of axing them and the tories took the
pleasure.
S+F for you, one of the only threads today that was an intresting read instead of the usual mindless dribble that seems to be coming from this site
over the past few weeks.
