Regulating the UK Press

BBC News: Reports that Coalition Government and the Labour Party have have agreed on  Royal Charter for the regulation of the press, with those outside the regulation facing heavy fines should they get caught breaking the law. 

Lets Get Real:

All the major Parties have stated that they have won, PM David Cameron has stated that there is no actual law to regulate the press, while the Liberal Democrats and Labour are happy that those papers outside the new Royal Charter will have to pay a higher fines should they break the law.    The press is still judging the result, this blog if the three Parties were agreeing on any subject would be heading out to be critical, but it seems a fair deal, the political hacks can not change the system later, no Government pressure, while those papers that break the law have to pay.   This just might be a good day for the press folks, lets see what happens, the devil is always in the detail.
