Select committee day, by Nick Venedi

We are all of course awaiting to hear who says what and how at today's hearing of the select committee. I am not, unfortunately, going to be able to watch this on telly as I will be in a Unison meeting this afternoon. But the event promises to be an interesting one providing that those questioning do not get scared on what treatment they will receive afterwards by those in power (and I don't mean the MP's)

Today's proceedings can (if handled correctly) be a triumph for democracy and for the ordinary person on the street who can be the victim of games played by those who have the resources to control the media and in some instances (not always) destroy peoples lives. The committee need to be careful however not to be seen to be scoring political points against the Murdochs so they should avoid sensationalising stuff. They should perhaps have George Galloway and Dennis Skinner asking the questions? Or his magnificence the Lord Prescot of the Prescots?
