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

[Kaka Tim]

So is Yates for the chop today then?

 

[cantsin]

Judging by his blundering responses on Radio 4 today - 'unfair', 'disappointing' - I'd say he was in it up to his neck.

bearing in mind how likely Bozza's extra curricular activities -incl. fathering sprogs all over the shop etc - were to have attracted NOTW hacks - his pro Murodoch / pro Met stance looks like more than simple toadying , hopefully there's more going on there than meets the eye.

 

[Badgers]

(((six-week recess)))

 

[butchersapron]

Cameron has even fucked that up, he could be announcing that he's decided to support a vote to suspend the planed recess - make out look like he's showing some leadership - but he's let miliband make all the running.

Is that when he was with teh Sextator?

'The danger now is that the villagers, shorn of their belief in God, might abandon their fear of divine retribution altogether, muzzle the churches, and grow hopelessly decadent. I realise as I type this that I don't fully understand my own metaphor any more. So here's a new one: the ceaseless parade of MPs openly disparaging everything they used to slavishly revere has left recent news coverage resembling the finale of the science-fiction movie They Live, in which a perception-altering alien transmitter is destroyed and humankind suddenly awakens from a decades-long trance.

I agree with Charlie Booker, watching the apostates attack their former Sun King is pretty amazing and in some ways disconcerting, the hypocrisy, etc

 

[treelover]

either that or it was a very dangerous version of 'The Emperors New Clothes'

 

[temper_tantrum]

Yates suspended.

 

[butchersapron]

Brook is going to committee - according to Peston, and he should know. Prepare the Trebuchet.

 

[butchersapron]

Anyone got anymore on one of the times political writers saying that 'Downing Street reveal there are 'omissions' from list of contacts between PM and media execs released Friday'?

 

[Badgers]

John Yates suspended is pretty big news.

 

[killer b]

"There will be a few updates because there are omissions", a spokeswoman said. But she added that there were unlikely to be "any great surprises" given press speculation over the weekend. This would cover proprietors, editors and senior executives.

so basically, they're changing the list 'cause they got caught out. that's pretty brazen.

 

[Santino]

I'd go with general incompetence on this one I think.

 

[London_Calling]

Yates of the Back Yard. Couldn't happen to a nicer fella.

 

[butchersapron]

so basically, they're changing the list 'cause they got caught out. that's pretty brazen.

Doesn't even pretend to explain why there were omissions does she? Brazen is the word.

Why did you leave some out?

Well we're updating it as we left some out. Next question.

Nothing on the BBC site yet.

 

[killer b]

he hasn't been suspended yet, but the telegraph are reporting it's planned.

not sure whether it really matters which it is tbh, although i'm normally happy to credit incompetence over deceit.

Commisioner resigns - Brooks arrested - Cameron swans off on a trade jolly to South Africa Yates may be suspended - getting closer and closer to Cameron

If Cameron is felled - odds on for a General Election - Lib Dems would be foolish not to withdraw support for the coalition - they are the least tainted of the 3 parties - Cable's reputation has been enhanced of late -

[gabi]

[Santino]

Perhaps if your daughter went missing you'd find a use for it.

Sadly there are some righteous overly inflated types who believe one cannot comment on a topic of the moment if you haven't read the entire thread...

 

[cybertect]

Robert Peston's blogged that James Murdoch may be asked to step down as NI chairman, at least temporarily so he can deal with everything else that's going on.

Have you been out of the country for most of this year?

How will Labour be different, genuine question, on welfare/benefit cuts, they want to go faster, slower but just as deep austerity cuts, they would have more academies, , tougher on crime than the condems,, etc?

 

[Fedayn]

Just watched Millibands speech oln the hacking affair, fuck my old boots what a disgrace... Talking about 'responsibility' and yet his first 'change' would be to attack welfare. FFS we're living at a time when the utter corruption of the powerful and wealthy is being exposed tiny bit by tiny bit and he wants to 'reform' welfare in his campaign for 'responsibility'. To call him an utterly cowardly wanker wouold be a slight on cowardly wankers.
