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

Fnarp:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/15/phone-hacking-met-police-guardian

Scotland Yard's most senior officers tried to convince the Guardian during two private meetings that its coverage of phone hacking was exaggerated and incorrect without revealing they had hired Neil Wallis, the former deputy editor of the News of the World, as an adviser.

The first meeting in December 2009, which included the Metropolitan police commissioner Paul Stephenson, was two months after Wallis was employed by the Yard as a public relations consultant.
 
Financial Times roundup - in the financially-powerful Companies and Markets section - has lawyer Gerard Shanash saying that if even a quarter of the 4000 victims sued the pot may need to be £500M - as against the £20M set aside.

:D even if half that would go to lawyers!
 
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.

+ 1 :)

ACE! :cool:
 
From RB's statement: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14166627

'I leave with the happiest of memories and an abundance of friends.'

Deleting voicemails from the phones of dead children always leaves one with happy memories, does it?

And as for the abundance of friends, I can only assume she means Cameron et al.
 
Murdoch's apology is 100% to do with current goings-on in the USA. He was backing up cruella up until a few days ago, smiling pictures, ringing endorsements - and now she's gone (as such).

Have we ever seen such a thing?

Regarding the police...I think they're fucked...however enough of this nonsense about how senior officers who lied/evaded during testimony should 'consider their positions' (not a specific quote just a reference to the general comments) these guys are the watchers, jail time I'm afraid.

And the victims should be suing the police for giving out phone numbers so mulcaire et al could hack them - that's complicity.
 
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?

Always with the 'irritating little shit' and 'why are you here?' stuff to anyone who you feel threatened by.

It's very sad to see your arrogance run away with you to the point where you truly believe you get to decide who should post and how they should do it.

It's clear that you make the common mistake of assuming that because you are massively impressed with the sound of your own words that everyone else must also be. They are not. I find your style of posting overblown, long winded and tiresome to trawl through. You ignore that which doesn't fit and repeat yourself to the point of tedium.

You are very good at tedious pursuits... the trawling of the net for minute bits of data or statistical analysis. And while I totally appreciate that people like that are useful in the grand scheme of society I am heartfully glad I'm not one of them. For while you might be good at getting data... you have absolutely no idea what to do with it.

This is why you can make the incredible proclamation that somehow you 'defeated' Murdoch.

You didn't say 'you'... you said the powerless... but it's fairly clear you meant you. In your own head.

So I posted a few simple words of caution. Suggesting you reign yourself and your proclamation in a little. You did nothing.... we did nothing. He just got caught.

I hope you found that useful.

Yours sincerely.

An irritating little shit. x.

I was wondering about the size of the eventual compensation pie a couple of pages back.

I think with "Hacked Off" and the like, and some quite large compensations already agreed - Hugh Grant, Max Clifford, Sienna Miller, it is quite possible, likely even, that a lot more than 25% of the victims will sue for compensation, it could be a lot more.
 
Why is everyone so sure the infromation traded was only ever sold to journalists?

Especially Yates who claimed someone tried to hack his phone. Why was he so blase about a group gathering infromation on senior police officers?

Not to mention every lawsuit will be pretty much identical - I don't see how they can pay damages to Sienna or Clifford, then not ther gazillion others...Isn't the court case merely a exercise in judging how famous and frequent they were done?

I'd assume a couple of firms will lead the actions then approach people on The List reproduce the same services and arguments with them.

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of ymu that can be made, as there are of most of us (and some extra ;) )

but you have proven yourself to be one of the board divs many times.

To be scrupulously fair, the above post is a bit overblown and long-winded. :cool:

I'm not here prove anything to anyone.

I'm here to read some stuff that I may or may not know, have my say on subjects I wish too, defend my position if necessary, pass some time, crack a few funnies and flirt with some of the hotties now and again.

I'm sorry if that doesn't fit in with some of you guys. But ultimately I really don't care.

cool story bro
 
I tried to be brief, but she went and called me names. Sorry. Won't happen again. Shoulda just called her a muppet.

Don't fall for the easy tricks, give as good as you get, and enjoy it.

All part of the rich fabric innit.

Back to the thread topic, perhaps, or you'll lose any casual readers who might be in agreement with you, then you're better off leaving it. Threads too important for rant spats.

So who's this Kiwi flown in from Italy, taking over from Red-Top Rebekah?

He's had an interesting run in with Al Gore, yanked his channel from whatever bit of TV media Berlusconi doesn't own.

And let's idly speculate on what relationship exists between Berlusconi and Murdoch, and can we at least liberate Italy before bedtime?

Anything's better than a 4 page spat that isn't even my fault.

haterz gonna hate innit, playaz gonna play
 
I doubt there's much love between Berlusconi and Murdoch.

Sky Italia is the underdog challenger to Berlusconi's stranglehold on Italian TV.
