I saw mentioned on BBC news this evening a that the home Ashes cricket series, next due to occur in 2013, will be shown on free to air TV. Good news I think, but I find the system puzzling. Having once conceded, wrongly in my opinion, that the ECB may sell viewing rights as it sees fit (gosh, they sold to the highest bidder, thats a surprise) I am not sure how the government has the legal power to reassume ownership and control of these rights. I'm happy up to a point because I think the ECB are not fit to run the business affairs of a hot dog stand, but I question the right of the government to make decisions over private property: to quote Don Corleone, ''we are not communists, after all.''
