@Randomvandal,

I’m sorry you think I’m a ’sell out’. Perhaps you’d care to drop me a line and let me know more.

That’s a really sad thing to say. Let me know, mail {at} benmetcalfe dot com

also why does the link to the ’sunday express’ take me to the CNN money website where the article looks like it was written by a 6 yr old?

The deal doesn’t surprise me, the fit makes sense. If they agree a price I expect it to go through.

Hi Ben, yes on reflection this is probably an ‘echo chamber’ item, and FYI, the original story was also posted to TC US.

Hey Mike, putting my “BBC Journalism” hat on for a moment, are you sure that the Sunday Express is in itself a primary source for this story…?

It strikes me they could merely be reposting either you or the same source you got the tip from and this could all be an echo chamber…?

Also, I’m curious as to why this is in TCUK… If *you* have the scoop, are you not able to cross-post to TC.com?

(Disclosure, I currently provide consultancy to a Murdoch owned company - however I know nothing about this rumor and am not placed to)
