May: Investigate Murdoch!
To Prime Minister Theresa May and Culture Secretary Karen Bradley:
As British citizens concerned at the influence of the Murdoch media empire over our government and the media market, we call on you immediately to start the promised Leveson Two investigation into alleged corruption, and while this investigation is underway, prevent any massive expansion of Murdoch’s media business through the takeover of Sky. This proposed expansion should be referred to the telecoms regulator Ofcom to determine whether it is legal and in the public interest, and whether Murdoch is “fit and proper” to hold a broadcasting license.

The Murdoch press has been linked to bribery, corrupting police officers, and even obstructing a murder investigation, but the government could drop a planned public inquiry that could drag these secrets into the light!
This comes just as Murdoch is trying to take over Sky in a deal that would hand him unprecedented control of our media -- but ministers are asking what the public think, and if we all join this urgent call, we can force them to listen to the public, not the press barons.
