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

[temper_tantrum]

Ooh that's just screwed the WSJ's remaining shreds of integrity, after that shonky editorial the other day.

 

[butchersapron]

10-12 hour day, you're not getting away with this act then pal.

 

[claphamboy]

Murdoch Senior looks like some mafia don on trial, playing the "I'm just a senile old codger" card to get sympathy.
Fuck him, hope he has a heart attack live on tele.

Indeed.

He's utterly clueless.

He's not, he knows exactly what game he's playing.

10-12 hour day, you're not getting away with this act then pal.

Exactly what I thought.
Luckily he got more animated and now it's getting tough again.

 

[frogwoman]

Btw sorry things have moved on really fast but who was that so-called "official" yates and Fedocio were trying to imply was behind it all? Or were they making stuff up?

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Rupert: "The News of the World I lost sight of because it was so small in respect of our operations". He was denying that he would have known about the payments to Max Clifford and Gordon Taylor of more than a million pounds.

 

[frogwoman]

Any ideas?

fuck me. did the questioner just imply that coulson was still being paid by ni while at no10?

Q: Did News International subsidise Andy Coulson's salary after he left the company. (There have been claims that the company topped up Coulson's salary when he was working in Downing Street.)

JM says he has no knowledge of this.

someone in no10 or the cabinet office. a civil servant

 

[MellySingsDoom]

He was previously in the BHS though.

Psychic...Powerless...Another Murdoch's Sac?

(Sorry, I'll get me coat etc)

this is a new allegation to me.

 

[butchersapron]

Answer the question. Yes they paid GM legal fees.

If you've "asked the question" what was the answer?

A yes, a clear yes. I'll talk to you outside as well.

 

[MellySingsDoom]

Following the Beeb feed, is the Digger trying to make out that the NOTW was a "trifling" thing in comparison w/the Sunday Times?:

1546: Rupert Murdoch says he spoke to the News of the World's editor "very seldom", but he rings the Sunday Times almost every Saturday

(or that he could trust the News Of The Screws to do their thing as they pretty much followed his agenda?)

 

[claphamboy]

10-12 hour day, you're not getting away with this act then pal.

Indeed, you don't work 10-12 hours a day running one of the biggest media companies in the world and pretend to be a senile old fool at the same time, d'oh.

 

[butchersapron]

Right got him. GM fees paid by NI

 

[miniGMgoit]

He's not, he knows exactly what game he's playing.

Yes, shortly after I posted that I realized it was all an act. I stand very much corrected.

 

[butchersapron]

James is as shit as his oul feller, he just takes longer.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Gold dirt. James admits that he 'found out' that NI had paid legal expenses to Mulcair and Co after their conviction. He was not working for NI at the time of the payments.

 

[DotCommunist]

he's not playing the one line response game, his fuck ups are amid waffle.

 

[claphamboy]

The old man is looking increasingly angry, surely one of the fuckers is going to go off on one soon?

 

[pk]

Hush money accusations??

 

[agricola]

Gold dirt. James admits that he 'found out' that NI had paid legal expenses to Mulcair and Co after their conviction. He was not working for NI at the time of the payments.

That is not what the original question, though - that was about payments to Goodman and Mulcaire after their conviction - something which definately happened, and it was not "legal expenses".

 

[Badgers]

Les Hinton £?

As i flagged up days ago.

[claphamboy]

James is remaining fairly cool, talking shit and left to keep repeating the same old bollocks over and over again.

 

[claphamboy]

Oh, James under pressure now over GM's legal fees.

 

[agricola]

As i flagged up days ago.

Yes, but the original question has still not been answered... and in any case these legal fees questions are daft anyway, of course a big company accused of malpractice committed by ex-employees whilst they were employees is going to ensure that they have some control over that persons legal position.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I think James is coming across as very nice, polite young man, and ol' Rupes is a lovable bumbly Grandpa.
