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

[Badgers]

Anyone else aroused by Rebekahkahkah?

No

Am I missing something?

Anyone else aroused by Rebekahkahkah?

She probably looked okay a decade or so ago. Not sure about the Cruella incarnation though.

On Frank Skinner's radio show, cohort Emily Dean described her has having "hair too young for her face".

Anyone else aroused by Rebekahkahkah?

Have you been eating crack??

Lord knows I love a redhead but that girl has had "nightmare" writ large upon her Gillian McKeith-esque face for years.

Nice hair though. I'll give her that.

One could compare the rest to Thatcher.

Guaranteed bone-drooper.

I'm editing this because I'm editing it

If she goes to prison, will they cut it all off? *heh heh*

 

[paolo]

Gillian McKeith

I see you used her full medical title.

 

[pk]

If she goes to prison, will they cut it all off? *heh heh*

It would be the ultimate punishment, worthy of the witchfinder generals in terms of uniquely cruel and unusual torture.

I would object, even though I detest the woman.

A series of crappy Photoshops exposing her bald head would be fair.

She approved that shit for years in the Sun/NotW.

Maybe one of the inmates would do it.

Les Hinton belongs in Coronation Street, surely.

Well he's going to be looking for a new job. Weatherfield must have a local paper surely?

Murdoch did'nt exactly play a blinder this week did he? one would expect decisive action and a crisp soundbite from an allegedly smart and ruthless businessman,instead our image of him is of a frail,wizened,bewildered looking old man in a trackie and baseball cap with his personal trainer,looking more like a gaga patient with his nurse.

who says that's not the image he wanted to project? a harmless old man, looking after the family biz during troubled times

 

[gavman]

I think you're right. Fox and BSkyB are both bigger and far more unshakeable than a few British newspapers.

People won't cut their Sky subs when they want the footie. He'd have to have his hand in Fifa bribery to provoke a subscription revolt from the football 'consumers'.

Maybe Fox would take a hit if the 9/11 thing gets legs, but even then I think that's stretchy.

bskyb has a near monopoly in several areas....sport and film to name two. personally i have to get sky if i want any tv, or broadband; no-one else covers my area. i resent this, and would like to see their monopoly broken up.

regarding fox news, they have made many powerful enemies among neutrals and democrats with their biased, right wing coverage. if the chance ever arises to give them a kicking, they will take it. and in modern north america, there is no bigger boot than 9-11

 

[gavman]

He doesn't stand a chance. Neither does James. Even Elizabeth is a non-starter now.

the murdoch pr machine now getting behind elizabeth; she is being credited with the one who supplied the push to get rid of brooks, because 'she's ruined the family business'.

As I said. A non-starter.

 

[gavman]

but isn't it great to be able to see the strings?
right we've tried this, now we try this...it's like being able to read the modern villain's playbook, when normally you have to squint and no-one else believes you.
'look, this is how news is managed'

If you have a sky dish, you can get FreeSat, which is on the same sattelite, is multichannel, and is free!

Jude Law to sue The Sun over alleged phone hacking in 2005 and 2006.

A telling response from The Sun:

The actor Jude Law is suing The Sun newspaper for alleged phone hacking. He's launched legal proceedings over four articles published in 2005 and 2006. A spokesperson for News International called the news "a deeply cynical and deliberately mischievous attempt to draw The Sun into the phone-hacking issue."

They're shitting it.

I'm just wondering if Brooks' replacement, Tom Mockridge is going to be seen as a good choice considering the Italian track record on media? Obviously I don't know anything about the Murdoc press in Italy but isn't media more corrupt down there than anywhere else???

 

[paolo]

the murdoch pr machine now getting behind elizabeth; she is being credited with the one who supplied the push to get rid of brooks, because 'she's ruined the family business'.

Not sure that story was seeded by NI... at the most, by Elisabeth.

AFAIK It was broken by the Telegraph (the phrase being "she's fucked the company"), describing it as "first breach in the show of solidarity" and in the same article they highlighted investor criticism of Murdoch 'using the company as a “family candy store”'.

Not exactly positive stuff... unless you've read a different spin on it, published before 6.45am yesterday.

They're shitting it.

And they're clearly trying to limit all wrongdoing to the sacrificial lamb that is/was the NotW.

I found the Hinton quitting more significant than the Brroks one. He's been there 52 years and sounded like he simply didn't have the stomach for the carnage to come, whereas Brooks' was an obvious eventuality and got the feeling she can be back any timeshe wants,

The lawyer of Milly Dowler's family just been on BBC News talking about their meeting with Ruoert Murdoch. He was quite critical of why James Murdoch wasn;t there (they had been told he might be), why it was arranged so quickly and also of the police not being bothered to give the Dowler family any info about the hacking claims

Always use a woman to slag off other women's looks.

it does always come down to that doesn't it?

mind you, i was cracking fat jokes the other night, so i dunno if i've any right to moan.

 

[paolo]

Always use a woman to slag off other women's looks.

Naah... if you heard it in context, you'd realise it was very much Emily Dean's words. She's a fashion editor with a sparkling line in comedy bitchiness (and a fair amount of self deprecation too). One of the funniest people on radio. The words weren't Skinner's doing, not his style at all.

 

[stethoscope]

Make it no better if a woman is doing the attacking over looks imo - the Fail has been in this market for years.

 

[smokedout]

No it bloody doesn't. It's basic morality.

says who, no-one got hurt, nothing got stolen

tbh, in the lights of brown's government attack on disabled claimants id say it was more than relevent

what about bbc etc?

Perhaps a bit stupid of me to quote it out of context. I agree with you overall.
