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

[frogwoman]

No, something about that police bird on Crimewatch or something?

Jackie hames who was followed by the news of the world, while her husband was investigating the john morgan murder. Actually followed as in surveillance outside the house etc ..

I do wish Nick Davies would stop making this particular point:



The officers had to caution him in that regard - he was after all admitting to breaking the law, on many occasions. Davies should know this.

Roman, what is the function of 'under caution'?

Does anyone reckon this will bring down Dave?. Is it better to keep him in his job while this plays out?.

No, and frankly, no.

it serves his story better to act all huffy about it, i reckon.

I am cynical, no denying that.

Well whether you are or no, I award this thread a comedy gold for dark humour.

They can't remove him one way or the other. It's not a choice thing.

AFAICR, he can't even be de-selected by his constituency association, the only way he can be made to go as PM is for someone to stand against him in a party election, and even that's far more difficult since the rules were changed over and over again post-Thatcher by party leaders trying to make their own ousting harder.

In this instance it would solely to have reminded Hoare of his rights, and what police could have done with the information he had come out with - he wasnt (IIRC from press reports) under arrest at the time, but they would still have had to reminded him (given that - as Davies himself states - he was admitting to committing offences) of the caution, that he wasnt under arrest, that he was free to leave at any time and possibly his right to legal advice.

Seems to me that Davies is merely indicating that the bloke exercised his right to silence.

Not really - Davies appears to be suggesting that Hoare refused to speak to Police, once they pointed out (again, as they have to) that they might use his own admissions that he had committed criminal offences against him, and that Yates was wrong to do this. Yates - and the officers - had no choice but to speak to Hoare in that manner because Hoare was, after all, admitting that he had broken the law.

that was fast

that's not been knocked off in a couple of hours - looks like it's been in reserve. perhaps it isn't so suspicious after all...

I would not be too surprised if his death was somewhat expected, and although its stupid of me to speculate before any detail comes out, he may have spoken out in the first place because he didn't think he had too many years left in him.

As far as the shitstorm goes, the actual reality may not be very important, the timing is the detail that counts.

That article you linked to has a nice line in it:

When he spoke out about the voicemail hacking, some Conservative MPs were quick to smear him, spreading tales of his drug use as though that meant he was dishonest.

Who was after Dacre?

Mr. Dacre confronted Ms. Brooks over breakfast at the plush Brown’s hotel. “You are trying to tear down the entire industry,” Mr. Dacre told her, according to an account he relayed to his management team.

Police examine bag found in bin near Rebekah Brooks's home

Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.

The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.

The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of the prime minister David Cameron.

It is understood the bag was handed into security at around 3pm and that shortly afterwards, Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.

Fun stuff

Ms. Brooks, whose tenacity is legendary, was not deterred. At a dinner party, Lady Claudia Rothermere, the wife of the billionaire owner of The Daily Mail, overheard Ms. Brooks saying that The Mail was just as culpable as The News of the World. “We didn’t break the law,” Lady Rothermere said, according to two sources with knowledge of the exchange. Ms. Brooks asked who Lady Rothermere thought she was, “Mother Teresa?”

They forgot to include "...by the police" in the press release, didn't they?

This has now been added to the Guardian story.
