Not when you're Jeremy Hunt. Jeremy Hunt makes Peter Mandelson look like an independent thinker with no influence from corporate interests.
This is the same guy who was going to go ahead and just let Murdoch take full control of BSkyB (the UK's largest broadcast) without question even though OFCOM, responsible for oversight of media in the UK recommended it be further looked into before any go ahead was considered.
Jeremy Hunt is the most corrupt politician in UK politics since Mandelson left the stage. It's not much of a suprise to see him getting involved in this sort of thing. He's one of those types who might as well just come out and admit that he'll do whatever the highest bidder pays him too, because everyone else already knows it to be true anyway.
