Can people connect this to cameron and his judgement please.

 

[strung out]

apparently some advertisers might be increasing their advertising because of this, according to greenberg 'to show their support'

He's funny, lol!

Sure. Cameron's mates with Brooks. Cameron personally asked Murdoch not to boot out Brooks when this all came to light initially a few years ago. Cameron very much wants Murdoch on side. Cameron will most likely be asking Murdoch not to sacrifice Brooks. (Speculation: Cameron will "make sure" Plod won't be banging on Murdoch's front door.). Cameron will (behind the scenes) push for the Sky deal to "go" status.

That's all for starters - sure there's more as and when it comes to me.

SG : Some of our advertisers are showing us more support and buying more advertising.

Interviewer: Who?
...
SG : Well, it could happen....

 

[Mrs Magpie]

What a total plank!

 

[sheothebudworths]

SG asked for the 7/7 victim's father's details who he was talking to to be passed on to him afterwards so that he could contact him personally.....victim's dad 'Well you've already got my number and address!'

Simon Greenberg: If Radio 5 Live wants to give us the victims details we'll be in contact with...

Sean Cassidy: You've already got them!

SG: We don't.
...
Sean Cassidy: So you shredded them?

 

[editor]

Greenberg is a one man ongoing car crash!

Greenberg is a one man ongoing car crash!

Is he actually allowed to drive?

Maybe News International should have employed this feller to co-ordinate their PR and spin:

Rebekah Brooks said on his appointment:

“Simon has great experience at very high levels in professional sport and the media making him ideal for this new and wide ranging corporate affairs role. I am delighted that he will be joining News International in such a senior capacity.”

Im sure she is....

Lloyds and Virgin Holidays have now suspended advertisements in NotW..... Thompson Holidays are now "reviewing their policy." Keep up the pressure its working.

 

[Santino]

Isn't 'reviewing our policy/position' code for 'please stop emailing us about this'?

NOTW latest: Ronald Macdonald to head up childhood obesity investigation

 

[ViolentPanda]

you're an idiot.
he made a strong case that the tabloids were trading in a stolen commodity- his privacy.

As long as "film stars" and "celebrities" have existed, it's been acknowledged, by the media and the public at least, that their privacy, as public persons with public personas, is limited. This isn't to make excuses for the media, but to state that Grant (and many other people in the "public eye", could have, but didn't, take simple steps to protect his privacy.

For him therefore to call his privacy a "stolen" commodity reeks of the kind of arrogant self-regard that got him in the tabloid viewfinder in the first place.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Yes. Rather shit hot. Worth watching. Brother of the investigative reporter who was murdered whilst investigating News International, and being followed by News International whilst the police had him under surveillance, was interviewed. The implication that Brooks was involved in a contract killing is hard to avoid ...

Hugh Grant did a good job of keeping it off his own personal issues too. Looks like a man on the warpath, which could be very handy. A big wave of celebrity revulsion could seriously help to kill these cunts off.

The problem being that the media and the "celebrities" are locked in a symbiotic relationship, so a "wave of celebrity revulsion" is unlikely to be generated.

It seems that NOTW often printed stories making overt and direct references to people having left messages on someone's mobile. I am surprised that they have got away with this for so long, given that they seemed to show off about having basically listened to people's voicemail messages.

How else could they have heard these messages?

Giles..

 

[Louloubelle]

Yes but can you prove such and such a journalist deleted said message?

Well I personally cannot but I understand that this is the subject of a police investigation and that, as a result, there it at least something there to investigate.

 

[weltweit]

The former News Of The World reporter who was on NewsNight last night said that it was not so serious, he said back then almost everyone was doing it, hacking peoples phones for fun.

Who here has ever hacked someone's phone?

Come on, out with it!! you know you should!!

They got away with it so long because it was not in anyones interest to stop them, and because their competitors were (and of course are) all at it as well.

Where is the full list again?
Who is advertising and who has now confirmed advertising is pulled?

 

[Santino]

It might have been me thinking about emailing them but then not getting around to it.

 

[strung out]

i expect the threat of me removing my entire worldly wealth (6p) from my co-op account had them worried

 

[Louloubelle]

and Butlins are dithering:

Butlins have a special deal with the NOTW / the Sun by which they offer £9.50 holidays to families.

There is a lot of alarm on Butlins FB wall from families who are worried in case their holiday plans fall through.
