Do you remember the battering that Vince Cable got a couple of months ago when he was caught by a sting operation mounted by a couple of undercover reporters posing as constituents? He was caught saying that Rupert Murdoch needed to be stopped from taking over BSkyB and that he would do all he could to make sure he was.
Result? Slagged off by the Tories and removed from his position in the Cabinet so that the BSkyB decision was taken away from him. Almost the end of his political career.
And now what? Well, ever since Murdoch closed down the NoTW yesterday, every politician under the sun is now brave enough to say that Murdoch needs to be stopped from taking over BSkyB and that they will do all in their power to make sure he is!
Oh Vince! We need people like you - leaders not followers. Perhaps you'll be welcomed back now.
