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

I dont know if you can put the Daniel Morgan murder down to this, its more likely that was down to corrupt police and private investigators themselves fearing exposure of what they were up to.

Fat Sid, among others, had long been suspected of supplementing his police salary in any possible way he could think up, and a fair few of the people he served with were caught up in the South East Regional Crime Squad clusterfuck.

Well yes, but I still havent seen anything on the net that NOTW were following Morgan or were involved in his death (though of course Rees did work for the NOTW later on, even after he was caught trying to set someone up). In any case, they were all apparently that bent that even if they were selling secrets to the papers, it would probably have been one of their more minor corruptions.

I'm chuffed the Co-Op has sorted it out.

Can people connect this to cameron and his judgement please.

At PMQ, Millibrain only managed the Coulson connection.

The Daily Mail photo desk is doing better:

Good work!

Got this link on FB (from The Cure, as it happens! )....

'48 hours to stop Murdoch's UK media takeover - Send your message to the official consultation on the BSkyB takeover'....

http://www.avaaz.org/en/murdoch_messages_2/?copy

 

[MellySingsDoom]

Remember when I said today that Cameron was going to work behind the scenes to ensure that the Sky deal would go through? Looks like I was wrong:

He signalled that News Corporation's takeover of BSkyB will be allowed to go ahead. Ed Miliband said it should be referred to the Competition Commission. Cameron rejected this.

"What we have done here is follow absolutely to the letter the correct legal processes. That is what the govenrment has to do. [Jeremy Hunt] is in a quasi-judicial role."

Cameron also said that Miliband himself said yesterday that the issue of media plurality (which is what Hunt has to consider when deciding whether to approve the BSkyB bid) was separate from the media ethics issue. Miliband responded by saying: "This is not the time for technicalities." Cameron said that when you are dealing with the law, you have to consider technicalities."

(This and more on the day's events can be found c/o The Graun here)

And who is the guy with specs on the right?

 

[MellySingsDoom]

Mulcaire at it on the Graun:

"Working for the News of the World was never easy. There was relentless pressure. There was a constant demand for results. I knew what we did pushed the limits ethically. But, at the time, I didn't understand that I had broken the law at all.

"A lot of information I obtained was simply tittle-tattle, of no great importance to anyone, but sometimes what I did was for what I thought was the greater good, to carry out investigative journalism.

"I never had any intention of interfering with any police inquiry into any crime.

"I know I have brought the vilification I am experiencing upon myself, but I do ask the media to leave my family and my children, who are all blameless, alone."

Poor old him.

I can think of various figures who believed they were working for "the greater good". Julius Streicher comes to mind....

 

[Meltingpot]

I'm a cynic at the best of times and have to say I wasn't terribly surprised when I saw the headline. But when I read that they'd deleted messages to make room for more I think I actually looked like a goldfish for a minute. I can't believe that even the coldest, most-cynical, money-grabbing tabloid journalist would not maybe think twice about that. Fucking unbelievable

Yep, it is.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Well yes, but I still havent seen anything on the net that NOTW were following Morgan or were involved in his death (though of course Rees did work for the NOTW later on, even after he was caught trying to set someone up).

I've taken an interest in the Morgan case since it happened, and although I've seen speculation about Morgan being followed, most of it has historically been about either coppers following him or other Private Investigators following him for unspecified coppers.

In any case, they were all apparently that bent that even if they were selling secrets to the papers, it would probably have been one of their more minor corruptions.

That was kind of my point.

There was a running joke among my extended circle of mates that there was a particular pub in Crystal Palace that you could go to, and there you could buy any piece of consumer electronics you desired, cheaply.

Off of coppers.

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!!

He said that 10% of the population had done it, proving that 99% of statistics are made up on the spot.

FWIW, 38degrees petition: 70k signatures so far, aiming for 100k today:

Dear David Cameron and Jeremy Hunt,

We're standing up for higher media standards, and respect for the rule of law.

We demand a stop to the BSkyB takeover, and a full public inquiry into the Murdoch empire's phone hacking activities.


We can't trust Murdoch's “promises” about respecting UK democracy and media plurality if he takes over BSkyB, while his newspapers stand accused of immoral and criminal activities.
These allegations prove we need a full inquiry into phone hacking and whether Murdoch is a fit and proper media owner - not another Murdoch media power grab.

'Lost' Tommy Sheridan e-mails uncovered at NOTW

These could, apparently, impact on the recent trial result... and the upcoming appeal....

(And yes, obviously not comparable to bomb and murder victims families treatment)
