We Have Finally Obtained Some Facts About Jeremy Hunt's Role In Murdock's BSkyB Bid - And He Was Not Impartial.
This week, we have finally got some of the facts about Jeremy Hunt's role in Murdock's BSkyB bid. It's pretty shocking. Just before Hunt took responsibility for the deal, he was sending chummy "congratulations"texts to James Murdock when the plan got agreed in Europe. Hunt was excited to think that the deal was going ahead - and was definitely not impartial. But it seems Hunt does not have to worry about facing any consequences of this behaviour, because David Cameron is doing everything that he can to prevent that from happening.
Let us show David Cameron that Government Ministers have to face the music when they go too far in cosying up to media moguls. A petition signed by tens of thousands of us will put the pressure on Cameron to step aside and let Hunt be properly investigated.

There are hundreds of reasons why Cameron might be protecting Jeremy Hunt. Maybe he is worried that if Hunt goes, the spotlight will focus on him. Maybe he thinks that that there is worse to come. Or maybe Hunt knows where more of the Government's skeletons are, and Cameron is worried that he will reveal them if he is sacked.
Whatever the reason, it has to stop. If huge scandals like this can just be swept under the carpet, nothing will change. We need to put an end to it now and send a clear message that secret dealings between the politicians and media owners are not acceptable. And that should start with Jeremy Hunt. The more of us that sign the petition to David Cameron, the more powerful the message will be, join in and sign up now:
38 Degree members were fast to challenge Hunt's role in the deal. Within days of his role being announced, tens of thousands of us had signed a petition to Government, pointing out that Jeremy Hunt was not impartial. Now we know that we were right. Tell David Cameron to step aside and make sure that Hunt faces up to his actions on the BSkyB deal.
