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

[Gingerman]

And even the DM readers school her. Class. Then again she can't tell shit from shinola.

They are also doing a hatchet job on Steve Coogan in today's Wail,the vast majority of comments underneath the article pulled them up for it

Mad Mel completely misses the point

Good to see that the comments aren't exactly in her favour, either.

You're assuming that he isn't being "looked after" by a demonic entity.

TBF, the Wail's readership know that their paper is in it up to their own necks, and are trying to deflect attention, and they're letting the paper know it.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I said "a demonic entity", not the Queen of Hell herself!!

I always feel a bit dirty after reading anything on the Daily Mail. Like I've been rummaging through someone's dustbin.

Yes I appreciate it when people quote the relevant bit so I don't have to click on the link and push up their readership count (not to mention catching something nasty from them).

 

[frogwoman]

Interesting the line mad mels' taking on this given her constant moralising about sex, zionism, etc

 

[editor]

I'm still waiting for them to give it a name. A little slow of the block methinks.

Press Gate. Hackgate, Diggergate, Gingergate or anything equally banal. No doubt in the fullness of time they'll concoct something or other.

'MurdochGate: the Catastrophic Collapse of a Media Empire' has a nice ring to it.

The sound of scores being settled here is as shrill as the hypocrisy. For heaven’s sake, these preening luvvies ruthlessly manipulate the media in order to burnish their profiles and their fortunes. Melamine Phillips

I don't suppose that includes you then Melamine? You know, tarting yourself around the BBC such as venting off on 'The Moral Maze' and scribbling for that tawdry rag. You should check out the word 'hypocrisy' you dumb fuck.

She hasn't got a fucking clue about why the likes of Grant and Coogan are involved and it's fuck all to do with burnishing their profiles and fortunes,fucking moron.

Labour are muttering about the government making sure it retains emails to and from Coulson while he was in Downing Street, in case they need to be investigated. Do they know something, or are they just fishing, or just slinging mud in every direction they can think of?

 

[London_Calling]

It can't hurt. Well, it can but obv. not Labour.

 

[London_Calling]

I was about to post it myself. This is the story that just keeps on giving!

It's kind of giving.

You could argue that, at this rate of regular disclosure, the drip feed of revelations is orchestrated. It's maintaining the pressure on NI.

Today, it was the BBCs turn to get a nugget, yesterday it was the Telegraph, etc.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Some cops are up to their necks in this.

Not been arrested or names disclosed you'll notice..

I think Mad Mel may be in trouble:

Max Mosley, who was caught by the News of the World in a sadomasochistic orgy with prostitutes, has been quietly funding a number of individual phone-hacking court cases against that newspaper.

That's an accusation of champerty and it's actionable

The state can wait. Best let Coulson, and Brooks start naming names.....

I hear that Gordon Brown going to make statement re activities of Sunday Times this afternoon.

Shit just got serious.

The Tories are desperately searching for something to attack Ed Milliband with, as he is having a good scandal - their latest ruse is that a member of Milliband's staff, Tom Baldwin, used to work for the Times, and Lord Ashcroft is claiming that Baldwin hired a private investigator to hack the Ashcroft bank account.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2011/jul/11/news-world-hacking-scandal-live?INTCMP=SRCH

seems a risky strategy for the Tories to take, as they don't really want all that Ashcroft stuff back on the front pages

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog..., but they can't sweep this under the carpet.

 

[marty21]

]There's been media muttering about Baldwin for a while - Oborne had a bit about him in his spectator article the other day. And rightly so. Labour are up to their necks in this. They can gain some advantage by being first out of the blocks, much as Cameron was on MP's expenses, but they can't sweep this under the carpet.

I'm sure more will come out - but hacking a millionaire's bank account who was bankrolling the Tory party for years - can never be as bad as the phone hacking

 

[laptop]

they don't really want all that Ashcroft stuff back on the front pages

As Coulson would probably have informed them.

If they've any sense, they'll try to put Ashcroft back in the bottle and focus on Baldwin. But it may not go back in the bottle...

Oh, it's early days yet, but the evidence is stacking up very nicely.

I'm not really sure we're looking for a hierarchy of villainy here. They're all scum, and they're all going down. I couldn't care less which tribe they belong to.

I don't think the Baldwin stuff will be that damaging to Milliband - there is a public interest angle - Ashcroft was avoiding tax, lying about his domicile status, and giving millions to the Tory party - The Tories won't want this getting out again.

well yes, but if they all go down, someone else will be along to replace them

Oh, right. We might just as well avoid the disruption and let them carry on then, if we are powerless to change anything, why bother? Is it just for some titillating newspaper articles before we forget about it and let them carry on with business as usual?

not what I said *waves finger*

hopefully heads will roll, but unless there is a revolution, then the system will remain the same - just that Murdoch won't be able to influence it as much as before
