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

Good question on whether illegal payments were declared for tax. Have we got yet to who approved the payments within NI?

It is a completely dumb question. Murdoch has not admitted to making illegal payments. Also if anyone who is not on the staff gets paid then it is up to the recipient to declare it for tax. You can be sure that NI will declare the payments out because they are part of their own expenses so if the recipient doesn't mention it then the tax people will be paying them a visit. This is a side issue which will please the Murdochs because it strays away from the phone hacking.

The point was to draw out who was on retainer. You missed it.
 
The Moron at it again (c/o Beeb live feed):

1533: TV presenter and ex-NoW editor Piers Morgan tweets: Good pertinent questions from @tom_watson - rest of the MPs hopeless so far. #Murdoch

Has the Moron begun to hedge his bets now?
 
It is a completely dumb question.

Payments made to police, for example, would hardly have been declared for tax ("payment to PC Plod, £5000 for juicy tidbits on MP"). If the Murdochs say they were declared for tax it could show they are lying. If they weren't declared it also opens up tax prosecutions.

This.

It was a sarcastic reference to Al Capone?
