Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

[Zabo]

The family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler are to press for "stronger, clearer and faster action" from the Government over phone hacking in meetings this week with senior politicians.

Milly's parents Bob and Sally Dowler are suing the News of the World over claims their daughter's phone was targeted by the newspaper when she went missing in 2002.

Her mother and sister Gemma will be among victims and campaigners meeting Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on Monday in an effort to secure a sufficiently comprehensive inquiry.

Talks will be held later in the week with Prime Minister David Cameron, Downing Street said, after being forced to withdraw an earlier announcement that the premier would be involved.

I'm intrigued as to why Cameron has re-scheduled the meeting date?

Holy shit!

John Yates and Rebekah Brooks were having an affair? At the time of the original hacking inquiry - the one that was wound up so very quickly by Yates and Haymen ....?

Holy mother of cluster fucks....

No one's saying nuffin. If it's correct, it'll come.....

If you read Yates's interview in the papers today, he mentions it (and says it's rubbish). To be honest it does sound like a stupid fruitloop theory.

 

[London_Calling]

Perhaps coincidentally, they did both get divorced thereafter....

But wouldn't that be something. Brooks was, of course, arrested for attacking Ross Kemp...

Sure, like the police not investigating the hacking of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's phone would be a "stupid fruitloop theory". Or the PM appointing a man known to have been party to intimidation of politicians and police. Etc, etc.

Remind me, factually speaking and given all the outstanding evidence (now coming to light), why was the original hacking inquiry closed down?

only you can link to sources to support those claims. now, link to sources supporting your yates affair claims or shut the fuck up.

PM - you're a partic strange and fucked up person. I wish you well but I'm not going to engage with you unless I have the time and/or want to poke you with a shitty stick through the bars.

Aye,the week her paper ran a feature on domestic violence

if there's anyone here who's 'fucked up' it's you, with your peculiar conspiraloon wank. i don't wish you well, and i don't give a fuck if you engage with me or not. you've decided to go down the nutcase conspiracy theory road, you've made your bed and you'll find it rather more uncomfortable than you expected.

US preacher: ‘What I meant was the end of the News of the World’

American evangelist Harold Camping has confirmed that his earlier prophecy of the end of the world, which was due to fall on 21 May this year, was in fact intended to refer to the end of the News of the World.

‘By the Lord’s grace, I am proved right,’ a jubilant Reverend Camping told a rally of his followers today. ‘If people had only listened closely they’d have realised that I was actually saying ‘The end of the News of the World is nigh’. I was never talking about the end of the world – that would have been crazy tabloid talk.’

 

[laptop]

no he doesn't.

Well, it's certainly more focused on power than on control of the means of production... or on The Market, from another end.

Fucking hell

Members of Reverend Camping’s congregation said they were ‘uplifted and inspired’ by the fulfilment of the prophecy. ‘I always knew this day would come,’ said 42-year-old Randall Philbert from Nebraska. ‘Mainly because I’ve been monitoring Reverend Camping’s phone messages for the past ten years.’

"News of the World final crossword has a message for 'catastrophe' Rebekah Brooks

Departing staff at the News of the World appear to have sent a parting message of disgust to former editor Rebekah Brooks in the crossword of the paper's final edition."

Ho ho!

That is a massive exercise in cynical opportunism. I suppose only to be expected really.

 

[gavman]

one day i'd like to see you actually communicating in a clear and consistent fashion. but i suppose we'll have to put up with you trying - and failing - for some time yet.

as we must suffer you in your self-appointed role as marker of other people's posts, hiding your own inability to think creatively or demonstrate charm

yeah, shocking.

 

[gavman]

How does this actually work as an argument? Some people like A so a lot of other people, who don't, have to suffer because of it. This is the same argument about goverments.... so about 1/4 to 1/3 of people actually vote conservative, the other 3/4 "deserve" the tories. Where does this argument actually end?

there's no point in expecting the end of the gutter press with the end of murdoch, that he's catering to a base human desire and someone else will pop up to take his place. therefore the correct regulatory framework needs to be in place to prevent concentration of power, and the trade of journalism needs to rediscover it's ethics
i disagree with your political analogy; you don't buy a paper because you have to, or because everyone else has bought it, but because it appeal to you personally. i'm not sure the tories are a true reflection of any one person's position on all matters, the appeal of political parties must necessarilly be broad. but newspapers can be more focused, a truer reflection of the views of their readers

and my ultimate point is there's no point shovelling all the blame for hacking milly dowler's phone on any journalist or organisation. say the notw had been the first to listen to a message from the missing teenager, saying she was alive and well, and managed to scoop that story.
the edition carrying it would have sold out, proving that there is a massive public appetite for the contents of hacked messages on a missing girl's phone.

You have a pretty negative view on humanity if you think that most people wanted this stuff to happen. This edition sold out because the news of the world has had non stop publicity for days and days on end now.

pompous self impressed charmless lackwit. you bring even less to the thread than butch. and that's saying something

you've misread my post. i was saying that the edition that would've sold out, and the paper's probable reason for hacking her phone, would be under the circumstances that she was ok and left a message to say so. perhaps i'm being overly generous to the notw in thinking they wanted to be the first to break good news, but that would have given them an incredible sales boost for that day's paper. seen in this (charitable) light what transpired could be put down to unintended consequences
but
the market was there for her hacked phone messages

 

[smokedout]

I don't really see how preventing concentration of power (which might not be a bad thing) would have any effect on newspapers printing what you call tittle tattle

So say something, what do you want to happen?
