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

[Gingerman]

Murdoch's biographer was interviewed on Newsnight last night.When Paxman asked him if he could foresee a time in years to come when the name "Murdoch" would not be at the helm of News Coporation, he replied..I could see that happening in a couple of months

 

[butchersapron]

ok, but the clear implication of the what the brown camp is saying is 'we tried to go up against them, and got thrown out of government for our troubles'. that's what they're saying, regardless how true it actually is.

edit: also, cameron's clearly shitting himself about something...

He certainly is. Gone missing for last few days.

Excellent..

The more people say it, the more it becomes possible

Just to add to that ... the biographer is based in the US, and was invited on to comment on the shitstorm over there. Dunno if he's right, but it sounds very hopeful.

I hope that Yates get roasted today at the Home Affairs Committee, not at all confident of that though if someone so weak and ineffetive as Keith Vaz was elected chair of the committee. Yates is still saying that:

"Therefore, as can be seen, in relation to events that took place in 2009, I was provided with some considerable reassurance (and at a number of levels) that led me to a view that this case neither needed to be reopened or reviewed."

I was right to be wrong in other words

 

[Lord Camomile]

I think the post title should change to Roast in Hell NOTW

I was thinking that the title should possibly change, given that the story has now changed so much. Suppose people are familiar with this title though.

Yates will go, im wondering what they have on him in order for him to keep quiet - affair maybe?

Alistair Campbell on 5Live was calling for his head this morning as was Prescott.

That's exactly it, isn't it? (i.e., it;s been revealed, yet doesn't seem to attract the hopping up and down that I would expect - goes a touch further down the common or garden blackmail route if the case)

In response to Gordon Brown's allegations about working with known criminals, News International says it has "no comment".

But it reiterates the position that the Sun newspaper is satisfied about the methods in which it obtained the story about Gordon Brown's son's medical condition.

I bet it is

I actually smirked at that, the idea that they think there's a 'legitimate' way to poke your nose into the medical history of someone's child.

In other news, apparently blagging has been illegal since 1994.

I hope they don't have access to my degree essays (*boom tsh* )

Early kick off across all BBC formats this morning. LOL.

You could almost think it's personal.

Here's something i'd forgot about. Goodman (the bloke convicted of hacking the royal slaves phones) was paid off by NI with a lump sum in 2007, supposedly for being 'unfairly' dismissed - as was Mulcaire. Is anyone looking into what appears to potentially be 'hush money', and what he was potentially keeping hush about? As far as i can see it's only the met who've shown any recent interest in Goodman recently.

 

[butchersapron]

Any journos mapping the non NI journos in NI's pocket, or at least the exec centred part of the network?

Murdoch in decades past is covered pretty well by some programs Adam Curtis put on his blog a good while ago, which includes stuff about how the BBC view Murdoch:

There has been a bit about him that I've seen in the last day or two. The hush money was paid after he'd come out and said hacking was common practice at the paper, so it is fully expected that he will be involved in future inquiries. He's refusing to comment at the moment.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but he also wrote an article about the family politics at News Corp. Might go far to explaining why they are so reluctant to let Brooks go.

Lots of muttering about Peston. Not seen much other than that.

blagging is not a synonym for plagiarism.

 

[Balbi]

NI have made two statements...

We note the allegations made today concerning the reporting of matters relating to Gordon Brown. So that we can investigate these matters further, we ask that all information concerning these allegations is provided to us.

Let me run that through the translator,

"We are trying desperately to cover our executive arses, and would definitely like to know how much you all know about what we've done so we can compare it to what we did and work out who we can blame.

Just 26 hours to go to PMQs.... feels like a lifetime away atm...

We're due 4 shocking revelations and 2 twists before then.

I wouldn't call it muttering, there are clear links between him and the chipping norton set as i understand they're being labelled (takes in cameron, brooke, murdoch&freud, etc). I don't trust his reporting at all.

Don't forget Alex the bassist from Blur.

He's been hacking me off for years.

I don't suppose any of these e-mails will ever become public under freedom of information will they?

No.

If, however, they are presented as evidence in open court...

Or a rusty cheese knife.

I didn't intend to imply that the man was innocent! He's clearly been the NI mouthpiece in the last few days and it stinks.

And Jeremy Clarkson who I'm sure gives Dave his normal balanced opinions on both global warming and the road/rail balance.
