# I always get mixed up as to which one threw themselves of their yacht
The fact that Murdoch is the one that's still alive is neither here nor there.

# I know what you mean
but my brain then turns to the anguished families of the 1000s that would be laid off through no fault of their own.

I agree it's an absolute scumrag, but it's hardly a printer or a typesetters fault

They knew that they were going to work for the Evil Empire when they took the job. If it all comes crashing down I wouldn't shed many tears. The Nuremberg defence doesn't elicit much sympathy from me.

# Exactly
I ended up spending some of last year working for the Conservative Party. I knew it was the wrong thing to do, but I had to pay the bills. Subsequently, when I was in a more favourable position I turned down a hefty pay rise to go full-time and chose a job at a charity instead. Morals are great, but only if you can afford them.
