It does indeed. The real killer blow would be if it was shown that NI hacked Labour phones and used that info to aid the Tories. That would be Watergate level stuff and that would bring down the government. Let's hope So.

God. This is getting close to Cameron.
So Brookes and NI decided who Cameron should or shouldn't have hired! Wow.

You're implicated, Cam.
Interesting article in the NYT.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/world/europe/19tactics.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&hp
Although most of it is a recap of stuff we already know, there's a few things that haven't been given any focus so far - particularly NI trying to spread the grief.
"Over the last several months, Ms. Brooks spearheaded a strategy that seemed designed to spread the blame across Fleet Street, interviews show. Several former News of the World journalists said that she asked them to dig up evidence of hacking. One said in an interview that Ms. Brooks’s target was not her own newspapers, but her rivals."
Dacre, in particular, seems to be getting on this. Whilst the editor of the fail is unlikely to win any fans here - least of all me - he does seem quite confident of his/The Mail's position.
'Mr. Dacre, The Daily Mail editor, told his senior managers that he had received several reports from businesspeople, soccer stars and public relations agencies that the News International executives Will Lewis and Simon Greenberg had encouraged them to investigate whether their phones had been hacked by Daily Mail newspapers . “They thought it was unfair that all the focus was on The News of the World,” said one News International official with knowledge of the effort. The two men have told colleagues they did not make such calls, but two company officials disputed that.'
Who knows which way all that will go, but at the very least it's a going to be an entertaining spat.

Seconded. Let's remember where this all started.

Maybe, though it would perhaps be worthwhile to point out that (a) the only safe assumption to make is that everyones phones were hacked at some stage; and (b) it would make sense for NI and the Tories to work very closely together once the NI papers decided to back the Tories, because that is what happened when NI and Labour were an item, after Murdoch backed Blair (to the extent of leaking the election date, leaking Hutton, co-ordinating policy announcements, protecting NI from fallout from its more mindless campaigns* and so on).

Is that the polite way of saying get the fuck off this thread?
Or offer something.
This thread's fine as it is I think.
Looking forward to seeing the committee on telly tomorrow!

Jeeez... if that gets *any* traction, surely Cameron is now moving, fully, into the danger zone.

If true that's got to be grounds for him to 'consider his position' ...

What the fuck are you on about now? I have just posted the most interested stuff on this thread for pages, so shut it.

Yep, it looks like they had this nasty little racket running with successive governments. It just happens that they've been caught at it under a tory one ...
