The decision by US-based News International to close down the NOTW is interesting in many respects*, but I wish to focus here on why it's a classic illustration of why an independent England should want to ensure that all major businesses operating in England should be English owned.
For in effect, a US corporation News International has decided - without consulting England, or its English workforce - to close down the profitable and important NOTW business based in England ... because it suits the immediate interests of the US corporation.
You have to ask would France or China or India allow a US corporation to even buy or own (let alone close down in an instant - without any detailed discussions with the national government) a major French, Chinese, or Indian newspaper?
England urgently needs to have an English-owned and managed media business that can take on and challenge the BBC's near monopoly of TV and internet news.
It clearly should not be News International or any other foreign player that is allowed to have this crucially important role in our national life.
* but the biassed British courts' defence of the rich and powerful via British libel laws and their being under British political control precludes discussion here of certain matters
