A bit of a coup for Adam Boulton of Sky. During his high-speed “farewell” tour of Europe, President Bush is stopping off at Sky headquarters just off the M4 motorway and midway between Windsor Castle, where the Queen is offering lunch, and Downing Street, where he is dining with Gordon Brown. The Isleworth offices, unfairly nicknamed the Death Star by BSkyB’s rivals, are also en route to Heathrow, where Air Force One will be parked.
Finally, a justification for the decision to plonk one of Britain’s biggest media companies out in the suburbs. And only 18 years in coming.
