        this will be a disaster if it happens. Government need to step in to stop this, but not very optimistic

        yes it is. Tagging me in a guardian opinion piece doesn't say otherwise. This won't make any difference

        and, combined with his media outlets iffy past, you don't see any issue with him having more control?

        I don't really see what more control over Sky is going to achieve. They already own a controlling stake

        after BT brought EE without government getting involved can't really stop 21st Century Fox from buying Sky?

        They pretty well control Sky as it is so can't see it making much difference in practice.
