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

[dylans]

Well another interesting day on this story, with many more to come I am sure.

Murdoch's move to get the Sky takeover kicked into the long grass whilst he attempts to sort out the shit at the newspapers is a clever move, and in no way does a referral to the CC change anything regarding what OFCOM may or may not do, despite what some have posted, competition issues are totally different to 'fit & proper' issues concerning broadcast licences.

The EU has already ruled there's no competition issues, so he knows that the CC can only rule the same esp now he's closed the NOTW, reducing competition issues anyway.

Now he has lost the power of his press, it wouldn't surprise me if he attempts to off-load the newspapers, and even agree stronger safeguards concerning the independence of Sky News, just to secure the Sky deal in a year or so.

Gordon Brown crawling out of the stone he should have remained under is also an interesting turn - basically admitting he was a weak PM and shitting himself over the power of Murdoch at the time, so did fuck all about it when he should have done.

Most of this crap happened under Blair & Brown, and now we have Brown admitting he not only knew what was going on, but knew he was a victim - somewhat fucks Ed's attempts to pile most of the blame on the current government.

No no no no no no no. Cameron doesn't get off on this one. He brought a man who is now accused of what amounts to industrial espionage, spying for commercial purposes, into the heart of government and gave him access to classified information. Nothing that happened under Brown or Blair (cowardly wankers that they are) changes that. Cameron fucked up badly and he should burn for it.

Ed is sitting pretty, Disco Dave hired Coulson, has cosy lunches with Brooks - Ed didn't and doesn't.

Ed was at a Murdoch party recently and admits he didn't bring-up the 'hacking' story when he had the chance to do so, he's been silence on the matter until he spotted an opportunity last week, he knew both Blair & Brown were so far up Murdoch's arse that you could see their heads popping out Murdoch's mouth.

Opportunist twat, he's just as bad as the rest.

Why do the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday journalists get given numbers on that list, but everybody else is listed by name?

You got a crush on Ed or summat? Labour are in this up to their necks. Sarah Brown had Brooks over for a slumber party, whilst Cherie Blair reproached her for being friendly with their enemies (the Browns). Why in hell are you trying to give them an easy ride?

True, but this story is nothing compared to what Blair, in particular, did - illegal wars, for example.

Cameron will survive this, whether we like it or not.

Very doubtful. And a disappointing lack of ambition, too.

Jon Craig just referred to Jeremy Hunt as Mr Cunt before correcting himself on Sky News

classic

Actually, having seen this picture in the Daily Mail, perhaps a little too much of News International is being exposed (apologies if its a repost).

 

[teqniq]

I feel that this displays for all to see and what many may have thought: what a sordid, disgusting incestuous pile of shite it all is.

Thank you for your comments. They've been chucked into the bin. Same as your your original comments about what happened at G20 eh?

How does this guy manage to look and sound so much like a cartoon-style-rat-tabliod-muck-racking-habk....it's uncanny.

a) Cos he was.

b) Cos he's a pub landlord now and has absolutely nothing to lose bar his expense account with the Guardian.

Think of it as the Guardian/Rusbridger version of Brooks' taking a serious wannabe journo and making him dress up as Harry Potter.

I don't like him as it happens, just talking about how he is playing the game.

Is it the stitches in his cheek?

I look at him and I see a lanky, hairy, grey, cartoon rat in a beige suit...all he needs is a hat with a card in it saying 'press'...uncanny.

I find the clips of him, and this one in particlar, the way he talks, fascinating...he talks like I imagine I do, he's asked a question and see him start to answer it, the his mind shoots off in different directions, he forgets much of what he should remember, reveals much of what he shouldn't, and the point he's trying to make, like a clean, sober cokehead!

All bordering on endearing if he's dropping his former employees, but I pity the poor guys who have to decifer all that when I have to explain some insurance analysis!
