[spartacus mills]

It's FISH tonight, Lily.

Is it Thursday?

 

[Divisive Cotton]

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I too have done nothing wrong.

Therefore I resign

Sean Hore found dead

Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbiz reporter who was the first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead, the Guardian has learned.

Death of Sean Hoare – who was first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson knew of hacking – not being treated as suspicious

Speaking a Guardian reporter last week, Hoare repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former News of the World colleagues with that aim in mind.

He also said he has been injured at a party the previous weekend while taking down a marquee erected for a children's party. He said he had broken his nose and badly injured his foot when a relative accidentally struck him with a heavy pole from the marquee.

Here they all go

 

[Divisive Cotton]

wow, it's getting all Oliver Stone

 

[agricola]

wow, it's getting all Oliver Stone

Indeed.

 

[butchersapron]

Who doesn't consider it suspicious? The Met? Who does watford?

 

[frogwoman]

Would that be tvp?

Herts, IIRC

 

[Badgers]

Bit murky but I can't imagine foul play.

 

[teqniq]

I've got a whole list of people with the words 'gone after them' open in a window and i have the latest suspect stuck in my clipboard ready to go. Pro-tip that.

how about a bit of Gilbert and Sulivan?

 

[butchersapron]

Bit murky but I can't imagine foul play.

Why not?

This is how Murdoch's Sunday Times describes the Cameron/Coulsen debacle:

But Cameron is finding it hard to regain the freshness the voters identified in him in the first years of his leadership. He is also paying a price for hiring Andy Coulson. You could see his temptation back then - he was accused of being cocooned by his privileged background; the former tabloid editor was an Essex state schoolboy. You can see his dilemma now when asked to denounce a friend who has been arrested but not charged - the PM has the values of a good-hearted public schoolboy. His mistake was not to say from the outset how angry he would be if he found out that Coulson had lied to him about his past.

How fucked up is Martin Ivens, the author of this shit?!?!

 

[butchersapron]

What NUJ support did sean hoare get? Any members know?

 

[Badgers]

Why not?

Sorry, badly worded. I could see foul play but he was not the healthiest chap and unless he knew something else that was really ugly who would have bumped him?

 

[Fedayn]

Who is the mate?

IPCC asked to investigate conduct of Yates, over reviewing hacking inquiry & allegedly inappropriately securing job for friend's daughter

It's Neil Wallis daughter.

 

[laptop]

Herts, IIRC

Correct.

Under the circumstances, an immediate "death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious" statement would be extremely stupid unless it was a very obvious suicide - body in room locked from the inside and so on.

 

[butchersapron]

It's Neil Wallis daughter.

Sweeter

 

[Idris2002]

Who doesn't consider it suspicious? The Met? Who does watford?

This is getting. . . heavy.

It's just about possible he could have had a blow to his head that left untreated could have done for him. But . . .

 

[Kaka Tim]

It's Neil Wallis daughter.

But hes done nothing wrong. He accidently dropped the investigation and then slipped and accidently gave a job to his corrupt mates daughter. Easy to say it was wrong in hindsight etc but his integrity is completely intact. Oh yes.

 

[Barking_Mad]

This just gets wackier.

 

[smokedout]

dead bodies now, notw whistle blower found deaded

 

[Barking_Mad]

Guardian makes the point he had "drink and drugs problems". I'm sure the Police autopsy will sort things out just fine.

 

[butchersapron]

Suspect?

It also emerged today that Sean Hoare, a former News of the World journalist who told the New York Times and the BBC about hacking at the paper under Coulson, has been interviewed by police under caution. Lawyers said this indicated he was being treated by police as a suspect. "An interview under caution would follow someone being arrested as a suspect, except in the most exceptional circumstances," said Peter Lodder QC, a criminal barrister.

Who does watford?

Herts, IIRC

yup its hertfordshire police

 

[rikwakefield]

Where the fuck is Dr Freddy Patel when you need him?

 

[Barking_Mad]

If this were a film id be complaining it's too predictable. What haven't we had happen yet?

 

[Augie March]

BBC news just said something about Hoare telling a friend that he was 'seriously ill'.

 

[agricola]

What NUJ support did sean hoare get? Any members know?

As a Sun / NOTW journalist, wouldnt he have had to not been an NUJ member? Or is their "staff association" thing a myth?
