Vince Cable - Stand Up To Murdoch
Add your name to the petition now
The petition:
Dear Vince Cable,
Rupert Murdoch's move to become 100% owner of BSkyB must undergo full and proper scrutiny.
We call on you to ensure that the purchase is thoroughly investigated by the proper regulators to test whether it is in the public's interest.

This would be a disaster. It would give Murdoch even more political influence and it could open the door to biased, right-wing news like Fox News in the US.
A free and diverse media is a huge part of what makes democracy work. We can't rely on big business to make the right decisions about Murdoch's plan to buy BSkyB. It needs full and proper scrutiny by government. Vince Cable, the Lib Dem Business Secretary, has the power tell regulators to investigate the purchase before it goes ahead.
If thousands of us sign a petition to Vince Cable, we can persuade him to make the right decision and oppose Murdoch’s master plan.
Please sign the petition now, then ask your friends to get involved too.
