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

[twentythreedom]

It should be an interesting week, to say the least...

 

[ferrelhadley]

Danield Morgan you will have your revenge on those who covered up your murder.

Its shaking the roots of the British establishment

tbh I think so far we're only scratching the surface wrt what these evil cunts (not just NI) have been up to. This shit's been in the post for time...

yeh and it's bloody reeking.

 

[Pickman's model]

I doubt "most of us". I'd be perfectly happy with a resignation.

you seem to be 'the only one'

eh? Not sure what you mean exactly, please elaborate a bit. Ta

 

[smokedout]

The latter, certainly. it's no-one's business but the Camerons

what bollocks. so he can stand there preaching about family values whilst doing the exact opposite, what about someone who preaches hellfire and brimstone on lgbt folk whilst secretly loving the cock themselves, or MPs expenses, or even the man ultimately in charge of jailing sex workers whilst picking them up on the street (as in the case of the DPP bloke)

if we have to put up with being ruled by cunts the very least we should expect is to be able to hold them to account on the way they live and expose their hypocrisy

And violating someone's privacy IS hurting them - how would you feel if your privacy had been violated?

it happens to people everyday, it can be every thing from a bit embarrassing to family destroying

but, most people when they do something they want to keep secret make a decision, and ultimately if they really dont want friends.colleagues/their partner to know then they dont fucking do it or are very careful

what they dont do is go running to lawyers if they get caught, as i said before, its the individuals responsibility to keep their own secrets, not the responsibility of anyone who happens to find out

 

[Pickman's model]

i think he means 'what needs to be proved to secure a conviction for blackmail'.

I don't think the recess is going to have much effect.

The plod resignation may be the police starting to take action to cover/protect/fix themselves (along the line of starting to get serious like motherfuckers inside and out). Probably not, most likely damage limitation but who knows. Stranger things have happened. Pipe dream.

The recess is amost possibly perfect timing.

All the super-rich grace & favour holidays, "guest" houses for the world's leaders being filled up.

Public perception is of all the pigs in the Murdoch trough, pun intended.

The public want blood, and in light of not too distant events the tide of people vs powerbrokers has in my opinion already turned, with ferocious undercurrents, and the demand for transparency is non-negotiable.

Nobody gives a fuck what the MPs or the police want to do - they were all in on it, this will all out one way or another.

Oooh you're right...we'll be watching where they go. Nice one.

Army bod on radio 5 just now saying good leaders don't resign when things get tough.

He's an author of a book on leadership

Cheers, going to have taken some arrogance by NI to have had people so explicit as to be able to make a case.


Still arrogance they had in abundance

Just heard on BBC News that Rebekah Brooks has been released on bail. Will see if I can find any further info.

 

[twentythreedom]

I have a confession to make. I bought a Sunday Times. I gave Murdoch £2.20.... Do I need to repent of my sins?

eta: Who else has been topping up Muckmurdoch's piggy bank other than me? Own up!

Nah - just watch this 100 times and then go watch a Ray Dennis Steckler film:

They would have to find a good reason to not bail her over.I wonder if she spent any time in a cell ,that would have been nice

RE: Cameron - is it just my wishful thinking, or does anyone else get the feeling that he's acting worried - like he fears (or knows) that other shit will be coming out? He almost reminds me of William H Macy in Fargo.

 

[smokedout]

Boris was looking nervous earlier

 

[little_legs]

did I hear correctly on radio 4 that BBC understands that James Murdoch will be arrested today?

Since it's not made it onto the website in the last 50 minutes, maybe not - or was it someone floating a vague notion, rather than The BBC Itself understing that?

[Hocus Eye.]

Good, that means that she will have to appear before the Commons Select Committee on Tuesday. I hope the police have got and retained her passport.

 

[Badgers]

Interesting weekend on this fun little scandal.

Brooks on Tuesday?
James Murdoch to be arrested?
Where is low profile Prime Minister?

 

[invisibleplanet]

Good, that means that she will have to appear before the Commons Select Committee on Tuesday. I hope the police have got and retained her passport.

BUT from that Guardian article:

"The police might have thought that for operational reasons it was important that she didn't speak on Tuesday," he said.

The Labour MP Chris Bryant said: "It is unusual to arrest by appointment on a Sunday and that just makes me wonder whether this is some ruse to avoid answering questions properly on Tuesday in the Commons committee."

How will being arrested stop her from answering the Commons committee properly?

e2a: Mrs Magpie answered this on another thread - something called 'subjudice' and not prejudicing the police enquiry

not wishful thinking. his obvious discomfort if one of the most entertaining (and encouraging) things about the whole affair.

someone was going on upthread about him being a 'PR man'. if he is, he's fucking rubbish at it.

It is amusing to see so many PR nobbers getting caught nuts deep in this shit:

Coulson
Cameron
Phil Hall
Stuart Higgins
Neil Wallis

LIKE.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen Sam Cam lately? We should check the bathroom for clues.

Charlie Brooker

A few weeks ago, Murdoch, or rather the more savage tendencies of the press as a whole, represented God. Fear of God isn't always a bad thing in itself, if it keeps you on the straight and narrow – but politicians behaved like medieval villagers who didn't just believe in Him, but quaked at the mere suggestion of a glimmer of a whisper of His name. You must never anger God. God wields immense power. God can hear everything you say. You must worship God, and please Him, or He will destroy you. For God controls the sun, which may shine upon you, or singe you to a Kinnock. Soon he will control the entire sky.

Furthermore, like all mere humans, you are weak. And God knows you have sinned. Chances are he even has long-lens photographs to prove it. But even as he chooses to smite you, God is merciful. You can do this the easy way or the hard way. Confess your sins in an exclusive double-page interview, or face the torments of hell. Have you seen what happens in hell? It isn't pretty. Rows of the damned having buckets of molten shit poured over their heads by someone who looks a bit like Kelvin MacKenzie, for eternity.

But then suddenly everything changed. The revelations over the hacking of grieving relatives' voicemails were the equivalent of a tornado ripping through an orphanage. "What kind of God would allow such a thing?" asked the villagers, wading through the aftermath. And they started to suspect He didn't exist.
