Tim Yeo calls for Ofcom cost cuts

Claims that Tim Yeo called for cost-cutting at Ofcom before it even got off the ground because he wants to start his holidays early are offensive in the extreme.

The following quote makes clear what his intentions are:
"Ofcom should have less staff than the existing regulators currently have in total and it should spend less than existing regulators currently do."

Our hero obviously knows that the new media regulator is designed primarily to stifle the activities of altruistic media giant Rupert Murdoch, and he wishes the beast to be kept on a very short leash. Smart idea.
