The man used his first public statement on the ordeal to criticise the police, who he claimed took an hour to arrive then dithered for a further 30 minutes before taking his severely injured companion, who was bleeding profusely, to hospital. Describing the two-and-a-half hour attack on the bus, he said The cruelty I saw should not be seen ever. The attack was so brutal I cant even tell you ... even animals dont behave like that. Once at hospital, he was left to sit in a corridor naked and received no treatment. - timesonline.co.uk

Freeview petition handed over - Berwickshire Today

The petition, which has the signatures of 2,500 local people, calls upon the Government to review urgently the impact of switchover on the Borders and to take immediate action to prevent local viewers from missing out on up to twenty television channels when the switch to digital television is made in the Borders in sixteen weeks' time. Under the plans for switchover as they currently stand, every viewer who receives their signal from a relay transmitter, which accounts for approximately 40 percent of all viewers in the Borders, will only receive half the Freeview channels. This situation has arisen because commercial broadcasters are not obliged to carry their signals on relay transmitters. - berwickshire-news.co.uk

Armando Iannucci: Welcome to the brave new world of Murdoch | Comment is free | The Observer

In the annals of business acumen, no single act of commercial chutzpah can surpass the company manoeuvres carried out by Rupert Murdoch over the period 2010 to 2014. To assess just how revolutionary, how completely beyond the reach of what any human individual had yet achieved in more than 30 millenniums of civilisation his actions were, it is useful to note that prior to the year 2010 the figure of Rupert Murdoch was one respected but never adored by people of influence who considered themselves his peers. Now in his mid-70s, he showed no sign of loosening the reins of power he held so firmly in his two gnarled hands. - guardian.co.uk
