Exaro appear to be hosted by amazon aws (ie a cloud service with masses of spare capacity) so rather unlikely that they could be flattened by genuine demand without amazon asking if they want to be scaled up to meet it.

haha yes But by sophisticated I mean something beyond the means of us mere proles, even if it is the IT equivalent of a Big Switch.Or less sophisticated "Hi, this is MI5, please take Exaronews down right now for reasons of state. "
Does this go higher than mere politicians?
Yes.

So, aside from Trinity Mirror taking on the Exaro stuff, is it reasonable to see some of this as Murdoch enjoying the dish cold?Nowt at all in today's Telegraph.

(Apologies if already covered, but I'm out of UK atm)
Gotta wonder what the old fucker would have done if they hadn't let Becks off?That is something I have been wondering as well. It is complete speculation, but I have a suspicion that these revelations, their timing, having something to do with phone hacking and the subsequent trial.
Again that is pure speculation.
That article is from 1998 so I'm a little confused about the "her son's nanny" bit.From many years ago:
A fortnight ago, an assistant chief constable of Hampshire Police stopped the prosecution of Lady Justice Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, after she blinded her son’s nanny in a car accident. In what was doubtless an effort to assure us of their impartiality, the police explained that cases which involved ‘anyone high profile’ were routinely handled by senior, rather than junior officers, thus neatly confirming that there is one law for the powerful and another for the powerless.

Elizabeth Butler -Schloss is 80 which would have made her around 64 when that article was written and her youngest son born in 1967 would have been around 31!
Even if she and the nanny remained friends it still seems rather an odd thing to say.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
I am fuming about this part of the article ...
"In what was doubtless an effort to assure us of their impartiality, the police explained that cases which involved ‘anyone high profile’ were routinely handled by senior, rather than junior officers, thus neatly confirming that there is one law for the powerful and another for the powerless."
The nanny was employed by her son, not as a nanny for him.
Thanks to you both - could have been put better.Presumed by her son's nanny it meant the nanny of her son's children? Same words but different meaning
