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

[Hocus Eye.]

Murdoch trying to introduce the topic of the Telegraph getting hold of stolen documents in the context of MPs expenses. I suspect that Brooks may try to go on a similar line, bringing in mention of other news media and their own alleged dodgy practices.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Murdoch snr suggested that all government ministers should be paid a million each, like in Singapore, then they wouldn't fiddle expenses.

LOL

Piers M contradicting Rupes' earlier comments on how often he contacted the NoW editor:

Rupert called me every week for 18ms on News of the World - rarely asked about anything but what stories we had that week.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Murdoch saying complimentary things about Gordon Brown, and his wife. Pass the bucket.

He was probably asking for share tips.

Who is Yates going to blame? Did the met us e ahead hunting thing to employ wallis? What/who was the contact?

Nope, put a PR consultancy contract out to tender and Yates's firm were cheapest. However, due diligence on the tender process as yet unproven.
e2a; Yates showed Due Diligence to have been a complete joke!

More Moron Twitter c/o Beeb:

1644: Television presenter and ex-NoW editor Piers Morgan tweets: Rupert called me every week for 18ms on News of the World - rarely asked about anything but what stories we had that week. #Murdoch

Hang on, didn't the Digger say he only called the Sunday Times every week, and not NOTW? (And why the sudden candour from the Moron - surely he's meant to be cheerleading for the Digger?)

e2a: belboid got there first (sorry all)

 

[Badgers]

Any FM radio station running this live?

And he has a stab at Gordon Brown as well. If he's going down, they're all coming with him. Interesting that he's steering clear of Mr Tony, who has been notable by his absence throughout this controversy.

"Our kids played together all the time." Suddenly, I has visions of James being sent off to play with Brown's sprogs whilst Daddy talked business

Banging the table as i type

Radio 5 live as I said earlier.

It doesn't actually sound like it really was put out to tender. They just asked around for three quotes and chose the cheapest. in fact, they probably got the quote from Wallis and then asked a couple of other companies they knew'd be more expensive

 

[Ted Striker]

Drama!

 

[Teaboy]

WTF!!

Did someone just go for Murdoch?

 

[Limejuice]
