do you believe this ??! not saying you do, but isnt it stretching the credibility somewhat?

and even if it's true who has enough money to buy it?

private equity outfits, other large dodgy MNC's, those kind of loverly people...

No one has to buy it outright, they buy the shares. The blokes a Murdoch biographer, i assume he built up some contacts writing the book. As for if it's true or not, no idea. I expect they'll be drawing up plans for every conceivable outcome. I would.

2.38pm: This would be shocking news if it turns out to be true – but Thursday's closure of the News of the World was pretty shocking too.

Michael Wolff, the author of the Rupert Murdoch biography The Man who owns the News, has just tweeted that Murdoch is considering a "get out of Dodge strategy": selling all of News International. We will look into this now.

lol, from the guardian

'Latest news from BBC, Robert Preston: Another policeman stole a green directory ( holds all royal info, addresses, emails, phone numbers etc) in 1997 wanted £1000 from Goodwin... then held by a solicitor Ken McDonald... he gave it to the exec of NI after 4 years.. who gave it to the police... news corp and police have known for at least 10 years....

Maybe he knows hes properly in the shit and is selling up whilst he still can in order to secure a comfortalbe retirement.

It's worth what someone will pay for it, which may well be more now than when the entire brand is trashed in a few months time. It's all about staying out of prison now, I think.

'More details are emerging about the garden party thrown by Matthew Freud and Elisabeth Murdoch in Oxfordshire last weekend, where guests included Rebekah Brooks, Alan Yentob and film director Tim Burton. It turns out BBC business editor Robert Peston, who is close to News International general manager Will Lewis, was also at the bash, resplendent in a peach cotton scarf. He was huddled together with Brooks, Lewis and James Murdoch for a good part of the evening, according to an eyewitness. Meanwhile, Jon Snow of Channel 4 News, which would break fresh revelations about Brooks later in the week, apparently cavorted on the dancefloor in embarrassing dad fashion. If the NI boss had known about the coverage Channel 4 News had planned she would have stuck a foot out as he strutted his stuff. '



not a crime but it increasingly shows up the power grids in this country, etc..

Not sure why I'm supposed to care about the colour of Robert Peston's scarf though.

I'll bet the so-called left-wing did absolutely nothing about it either!!!

And he's been appointed by Murdoch to help get them out of the shit. He will mire them further in it. He was the DPP that managed the original investigation down to triviality too. Murdoch's bribable friends are now tainted by his bribery. The power has dissolved to nothing.

He walked into the party like he was walking onto a yacht, his hat strategically placed above one eye, his scarf it was apricot (well, sort of peach, really).

It's always good to hear about the whereabouts of peach cotton scarves.

Appointed by N/l as well, apparently sympathetic to anarchism as a student(easy to do)

Please let Blair be implicated in some way...

it's addin' flava to da report, innit?

What's this all about? What's in the standard?

Met says it believes info in Evening Standard article today is "part of a deliberate campaign to undermine" its corruption investigation.

-from C4 news.

I need more popcorn god damn!

2.53pm: The BBC's
Laura Kuenssberg tweets:

Rumours whirling around Westminster of more to come this afternoon perhaps with other papers, not just NoTW - PM press conference later too

I presume it's this

Personal details about the Queen and her closest aides were sold to the News of the World by corrupt royal protection officers, the Standard reveals today.

The information included phone numbers and tips about the movements and activities of the Queen, Prince Philip and staff in a serious breach of national security. The payments, and involvement of the royal and diplomatic protection squad, were uncovered by News International in 2007.

But despite the potential risk to security they were not passed on to the Met until last month. Scotland Yard was only informed after other News International bosses discovered the existence of the emails during a separate internal probe set up to uncover evidence of phone hacking. There are hundreds of royal protection officers.

She is not amused.

 

[butchersapron]

Well, it was fuck all to with the standard for starters - Peston had it first

It is our belief that information that has appeared in the media today is part of a deliberate campaign to undermine the investigation into the alleged payments by corrupt journalists to corrupt police officers and divert attention from elsewhere.

At various meetings over the last few weeks information was shared with us by News International and their legal representatives and it was agreed by all parties that this information would be kept confidential so that we could pursue various lines of inquiry, identify those responsible without alerting them and secure best evidence.

However we are extremely concerned and disappointed that the continuous release of selected information - that is only known by a small number of people - could have a significant impact on the corruption investigation.

It's either them, NI or the lawyers who held the files. And what mug would believe the met?

Who are they suggesting did it then?

 

[frogwoman]

Fair enough then butchers - and yep about them covering from every eventuality.

Does anyone actually believe murdoch will end up in jail though?

Well it's look more likely than it was 2 weeks ago

I've heard this investigation is to root out these bad apples.

News International, presumably. It fits too.

He had one eye in the mirror as he watched himself go by and all the girls...

He's so vain, he probably thinks that song was about him.

It fits if you think NI are doing an orchestrated drip-leak to move attention away from the real stuff. I don't buy that, it's too quick and too damaging. They're not in control of it - on any number of levels.

 

[killer b]

why was he wearing a scarf at all?
