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

[weltweit]

Well you do repeat an awful lot of what's already been written, although tbf you're hardly the only one on such a fast moving thread. I'm only (just) keeping up because I've foregone sleep/child care/housework/leaving the house/life/all personal hygiene etc completely over the last week.

I know it is not a defence, but yesterday I posted something thinking mine was the first mention on that on the thread and I think two times after me people posted about the same thing ....

According to the Graun here, the Daily Fail are planning a Sunday tabloid of their own.

I don't doubt it, welt! It's ANNOYING, isn't it!

 

[Kizmet]

Are you sure you're reading every post?

Tbf, anyone who has read every post is clearly mad. And if they weren't already.. they are now.

I have! *giggle/sob*

I don't really mind, as you said it has been a very fast moving story.

I think, unless more comes out on the revelations buchersapron is mentioning on the other papers, it may quieten down a bit until Tuesday. Could be wrong though.

Also "Hacked off" represents some of those who already know they have been hacked. Perhaps more and more people will flock to Hacked Off when it becomes clear that they have been hacked. There they can get advice on how much compensation they should be due.

yes such heroes of truth and justice as lord falcolner (who campaigned to restrict the FOI act), thatcherite lord fowler, prozie shagger hugh grant, nazi mosley and election fiddler zac goldsmith

yeah, but we knew all that, all we're seeing is some (and only some) of the mechanics of how power operates

the only big shocks were millie and pulling the screws, they were last weeks story

i'm not saying its not important, just commenting on why this story appears to have gone off the boil a bit for most people (which in fairness, it might not have done, not everyone agrees it has)

i thought the newsnight focus group summed it up, everyone was like yeah its bad. no-one was sticking up for murdoch, but theres not much else to say, and beyond westminster and the media it doesnt look like much is going to happen that will actually have any impact on peoples lives

It's not about knowing it, it's about being able to do something about it. There'll be more Murdoch's, but managing to defeat this one is important, and it opens up a space for the powerless to exert influence on what happens next. Only a little one, but it's a lot more than we could have imagined 2 weeks ago.

Have we seen the News of the World's planned Thatcher obit?

Twitter says Coulson was a guest at Chequers three months after he quit Downing Street. Cameron, you twat.

 

[butchersapron]

Here the apology to go in the papers:

We are sorry.

The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself.

We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred.

We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected.

We regret not acting faster to sort things out.

I realise that simply apologising is not enough.

Our business was founded on the idea that a free and open press should be a positive force in society. We need to live up to this.

In the coming days, as we take further concrete steps to resolve these issues and make amends for the damage they have caused, you will hear more from us.

Sincerely,

Rupert Murdoch

 

[OneStrike]

Fair enough, they sound remorceful, tally-ho.

Cameron should get rinsed over forgetting his hook ups at Chequers, Ed needs to go nuclear over that.

 

[paolo]

Here the apology to go in the papers:

It's an apology with boundaries. Limits himself to NoW, and as such doesn't include the bullying for power carried out as an NI practice.

 

[Fedayn]

BBC News: Ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson stayed as a guest of Prime Minister David Cameron at Chequers in March, several weeks after his resignation as communications chief, the Press Association quoted a Downing Street source as saying.

When an enemy trips, it's not wise to claim it as a victory.

[equationgirl]

I think adding 'sincerely' is taking things too far, to be honest. Mind you, will anyone really believe that apology anyway?

 

[ymu]

You too?

if only. it would have been good if she'd died a week back and they'd been forced to include it in their farewell issue

What has that got to do with my post? Can you not add something useful? Or are you just here to do the usual irritating little shit act?

it's difficult to see how there could be more murdochs (no grocer's apostrophe, it's disappointing to see that level of literacy from someone with such an august alma mater). but perhaps you could elaborate on how you see the powerless exerting influence on what happens next?

No. You're a time-wasting prick with some weird obsessions and I'm not interested in helping you ruin another thread. You can read my posts if you want to. Not interested in indulging your anticks.

it's disappointing that you can't defend your stance. but it's no great surprise.
