Robert Peston on radio 4 specualting that the BSkyB deal will now get pulled as News International are argualbly not 'fit and proper persons'.

So all in all a good chance of Coulson going to prison for bribing the cops, Rebbeca Wade sacked, NOTW sued to fuck and potentailly finsished, Murdoch's bid for BSkyB thrown out, plenty of egg on camerons face and a public enquiry into News international and their relationship with the met - which may well uncover even further slime.

Not the end of Murdochs empire, but a serious fucking kick in its bollocks. I hope it hasstens the poisonous cunts demise.

Looks like there's going to be some dodgy corrupt cops ready to face criminal charges in that pile too. This story is MASSIVE.

I love the way the Sun are attempting to portray Brookes as a valiant seeker of truth.

FORMER News of the World Editor Rebekah Brooks yesterday said she was "sickened" by allegations that a private eye hired by the paper hacked tragic Milly Dowler's phone.

The News International boss vowed the "strongest possible action" if it was proved rogue operator Glenn Mulcaire had intercepted the 13-year-old's voicemail while she was missing.

She branded the claims "almost too horrific to believe" as senior executives at the media company met police conducting a criminal investigation into phone hacking.

The pathetic moralistic finger wagging way in which it was suggested does alienates 'normal' people from the left - (note me getting it the right way round, people alienated from the left). A specific targeted boycott is an entirely different thing altogether - it's not at all like a blanket moral condemnation of millions of people in one lazy swipe. That sort of laziness hasn't got any better just because someone else has engaged in it.

Shamefully, the 'ethical' Cooperative Financial Services has tweeted that it is NOT withdrawing News of the World advertising! http://twitter.com/#!/CFSpressteam/status/88521308991791104

From that link:

The Times (paywall) says that it has decided to break its silence on the phone hacking scandal engulfing its sister paper, the News of the World. It says there is "much we still need to know" about the precise exten of phone hacking. But it says this is a watershed moment for British journalism.

There is no doubt but that journalists are now in their version of the MPs' expenses scandal. If there is proven to be truth in the allegations that journalists on the News of the World hacked into the voicemail of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, there will not be a journalist in the country who, after the warranted anger, will not feel shamed and depressed. There is a lot that is not yet known about this case but this much we do know: this is beyond reprehensible ...

We will, no doubt, learn more, and none of it is likely to be edifying. Whatever else emerges, this is a watershed moment for British journalism. What happened needs to be investigated and, in the public interest and the interests of journalism itself, brought to light. It ought to go without saying that nothing of this nature can ever happen again. But then it ought to have gone without saying that nothing of this nature could ever have happened in the first place. This is why it is so important that the truth be known.​

Looks like The Times is now trying to distance itself from whats happening at it News Int stable mates. Are they getting worried?

Just received this email...
Dear Mr AKA

Thank you for your email to Philip Clarke, our Chief Executive, to which I have been asked to respond.

I appreciate how concerned you must be over the recent allegations made against the News of The World.

These latest claims will cause huge distress to a family which has suffered enough. However, it is now a matter for the police and like everyone, we await the outcome of their investigation.

Assuring you of our best intentions at all times.

Yours Sincerely

Ryan Fitzpatrick
Customer Service Executive

On now...

Predictably they're not sayin who due to police investigation, but have said that they're clear it's nothing to do with Brooks.

I wonder how much of this will be trying to cover/get Coulson and Brooks off the hook though? :hmm:
