I believe that there are some rules and regulations necessary when it comes to the freedom of press. One should not overstep the boundaries of personal privacy. Furthermore the Cyprians should find a better way of getting out of debt if they do not want to follow the rules the EU gives them. I think I  is a good thing that the British business life and government come together to save this many jobs in the air and space industry. I am also rather glad that mister Thornton lived his life to the fullest.
