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

Stephenson going is akin to Jack Warner going, 'integrity intact'.

The difference is Stephenson can still get accused and judged of wrongdoing.

Whoever called Daniel Morgan as Banquo is spot on.
 
:D

'Ha. Wonder if Disco's packed his "Hang Nelson Mandela" t-shirt (a vintage one bought off Ebay from "Commons_Speaker_Bercy")?'

people change, don't they?

Bercow, that is, not Cameron
 
"my full confidence" loooool. I love how Kieth vaz kept repeating "integrity intact" over and over ...

In 2002 Vaz was suspended from the House of Commons for one month after a Committee on Standards and Privileges inquiry found that he had made false allegations against Eileen Eggington, a former policewoman. The committee concluded that "Mr Vaz recklessly made a damaging allegation against Miss Eggington to the Commissioner, which was not true, and which could have intimidated Miss Eggington or undermined her credibility".[14]

Vaz’s backing for the 42 day terrorist detention without charge “was seen as crucial by the Government.”[19] During the debate the day before the key vote, Vaz was asked in Parliament whether he had been offered an honour for his support. He said: “No, it was certainly not offered—but I do not know; there is still time.”[19] The Daily Telegraph printed a hand written letter to Vaz, written the day after the vote, Geoff Hoon wrote:

“Dear Keith... Just a quick note to thank you for all your help during the period leading up to last Wednesday’s vote. I wanted you to know how much I appreciated all your help. I trust that it will be appropriately rewarded!... With thanks and best wishes, Geoff.”[19]

:facepalm:
 
Regarding Cameron resigning.....

he has no buffer, if the revelations get worse there's no-one he can place up for sacrifice, the links between him and murdoch, him and brooks, him and coulson...is a direct line - his own actions and judgements every time
 
Yep, but no one has anything on him except a bad judgement, a bad judgement shared by a number of others. His defence is he was misled and gave the man a second chance.

They have to find more.
 
precisely, sometimes it is in the public interest to expose the private lives of the powerful
yes, but how does that apply in this instnce? We- the public - do NOT have the right to know EVERYTHING about celebs, and EVERYONE has a right to privacy.
And violating someone's privacy IS hurting them - how would you feel if your privacy had been violated?

Are you going to put £50 on the table?
 
There's a line here that Milliband will pick up on.

Lots of talking heads saying 'Stephenson has done the right thing, question marks over the organisation and his role as leader' i.e - by employing Wallis, the procedural stuff over the original case, the lack of communication of concerns from his subordinates etc he has to go.

The lack of communication from Hilton, Llewellyn over Coulson, his clear close relationship with Brooks, Coulson, Murdoch et al - there's more than a few question marks over Cameron now.

It's christmas at Labour HQ right now.

If there's any evidence among the revelations that Cameron has lied about what he knew and when then he might be at risk, but for now all anyone can pin on him is an error of judgement that he himself has owned up to. It's politically damaging, but far from fatal as it stands.
