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

[frogwoman]

Another vote for leave it as it is ... although i do like Murdochalypse Now

 

[agricola]

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 ...

Yes, but it is one of many rackets. For instance, I especially liked Miliband's speech on this issue - plus the banking crisis, and MPs expenses scandals - today, which was delivered forcefully, but without a hint of any irony at all:

''All are about the irresponsibility of the powerful. People who believed they were untouchable,'' he will say.

''My argument is that throughout our society we need a new culture, rules and structure, which encourages people to act with responsibility.

''We need to address this responsibility deficit we see in our society.''

the speech was delivered at the offices of KPMG.

This whole issue, the over-powerful influence of News International goes back to Thatcher. She was the one who by granting Murdoch the Sky channel licence, gave Murdoch control over a massive portion of the media. She did it with the knowledge and in the intention of getting the Murdoch Empire in line with the Tory party. This mutual back scratching served both the Murdochs and the Tories until Blair did his own brown nosing up to Murdoch. Brown lost it again leading back to the Tories cuddling up once more up to Murdoch under in the Reign of Cameron. How much longer will he rein though? Cameron has no leadership qualities that I can see.

It's interesting how the whole story is starting to gain traction in the States, but not quite in the way I think a lot of us expected. We reckoned the US press would get hold of the allegations about 9/11 victims being hacked and the whole thing would go nuclear, but that's not what's happened. The American press definitely have picked up on it - I've just looked at the New York Times, Washington Post and a couple of other big US titles and they're mainly leading with it, even over the debt crisis - but it's not 9/11 they're talking about. Firstly they covered it largely in business terms; now they've got the same sort of headlines as we have, about resignations, police corruption, pressure on Cameron, and so on. Be interesting to watch how the story develops that side of the Atlantic...

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.

If that was an attempt to dispose of evidence then what a fucking muppet

I don't think he was supposed to need them though, not with Rebekah to tell him who his chief spin doctor should be ...

Aye, and Kissinger is one other of the "masters of the universe" who is long overdue the justified public rage that Murdoch is currently being subjected to. That motherfucker is fair game too.

BBC have links to a variety of US perspectives:

“There were people you were not supposed to mess with,” says the former reporter for the gossipy Page Six, if they were “friends” of executives at the Post or its parent company, News Corp. At the same time, “word would come down through your editor, ‘This is someone we should get, should go after.’ The people high up had people they just didn’t like.”

The Sun's website appears to have hacked. 'Media moguls body discovered' reads the 'new' front page.

Guardian.

It's stopped working for me now, though...

 

[cybertect]

yup

seems to be a webpage redirect?

I had a poke about - Javascript parent.location change in the breaking news feed :lol:

 

[ddraig]

tweet deserves quoting too!

Sun/News of the world OWNED. We're sitting on their emails. Press release tomorrow. In the meantime check: http://t.co/qhqSjdT #antisec

 

[killer b]

there's not going to be much of interest in their emails atm, surely? there's the chance of a raid at any moment i'd expect, so they'll be keeping things as bland as possible...

Nick Boles (edit: neu-Tory darling) manages to ritually disembowel himself on live TV. Can this get any better?
Can we please have a list of people who haven't yet managed to get themselves fucked by this. It's a rapidly narrowing group.

sun website now redirects to the LulzSec twitter

 

[gabi]

actual lulz at that one

 

[laptop]

BBC ticker saying police declaring death "unexplained".

Oh fuck. Here come the metal millinery brigade. I've already met one who on hearing the news that Sean us dead came back with "and what was the connection of the man who was murdered to Murdoch?".

 

[WWWeed]

I had a poke about - Javascript parent.location change in the breaking news feed :lol:

I managed to get a screenshot of the hacked sun site before it went:

 

[killer b]

that lulsec twitter feed seems to be gathering followers at the rate of a thousand every few seconds... what's that irc link they have up lead to?
