Goodoh

Seems that Glenn Mulcaire is coming out and claiming that he in no way acted alone - "As an employee he acted on the instructions of others." That's from some sky bloke - haven't got the full statement yet.

& in more Mensch news, the eejit has just apologised for misquoting Morgan

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14346050

With demands for an apology over the misjudged comment, Morgan could have refused to give further evidence to the committee on the basis that a member had used it as a platform to make misleading allegations. Mensch’s statement could clear the way for another appearance from the CNN presenter, which will doubtless be more contrite than the arrogant 2003 performance highlighted by Scrapbook yesterday.

"No longer paying my legal fees, are you? Well, watch this!"

"No longer paying my legal fees, are you? Well, watch this!"

another hilarious decision - the one man who can really fuck them up, they cut off his legal help

although I think he is taking them to court over that -

they didn't have any choice. one of the useful outcomes of the select committee appearance, i reckon.

That was after the Select Committee asked "You're paying what?"

although I think he is taking them to court over that -

Not yet. His lawyers wrote yesterday to say "Oh yes you are!"

it's a delicious situation - they get criticised for paying his fees, and if they don't , he'll name names

Happy happy joy joy

 

[belboid]

slightly irritating, but that's two spiffing results fairly directly from the select committee hearings (three if you include mensch making a tit of herself)

why is it irritating?

 

[belboid]

cos most of the people on it are fules

 

[Streathamite]

Gove, Michael £34500

That is a lot. Wasn't Gove a former journalist?

leader-writer & Columnist for The Times, and his wife still is

Now if HE starts ratting left, right and centre - oh boy, it'll be carnage

[smokedout]

eh? harrassment? It's prerrt pisspoor harrassment, if that is what it is. Looks more like someone has acted on longstanding rumours, now that Mensch has made a bit of a name for herself (no point outing her drug use when she was just a no mark backbencher)

and given her party supports a policy that can involve jailing drug users I'd say it's very much in the public interest. as to the letter, this is what people like mosley and hugh grant want isn't it, that people before are informed beforehand of allegations made against them, hardly harrassment, she's an MP ffs

Not sure she made that much of a tit of herself, tbh. Yes, she misquoted Moron, but then she has played a small role in him getting some well deserved (and long overdue) attention with regards to his antics. Then there are have these reports, which - if true - are somewhat worrying, given how contrite and apologetic they all are (the hack concerned is a freelance ex-Mail bod, apparently).

 

[Streathamite]

did anyone notice the latest 'scalp'? Lady Buscombe, the PCC chair, is to stand down

her performance in the committee was good. it was her wrestling match with morgan on cnn afterwards where she fucked up.

Just as a point of interest, I heard that one NotW journo who was middle ranked got two year's pay as a severance package.

Seems to be the average. It would be nice to have £70,000 plus various expenses dropped in your hand as a lump sum in time for summer holidays, eh??

Don't believe a fucking word of the "woe is me" stories coming from Wapping's newest P45 recipients. They're being well looked after.

 

[ymu]

Why would they be saying "woe is me"? Surely they know that if they sign on they'll get a big house, free car and £50k/year just like all the other benefit claimants?

 

[Streathamite]

They'll also be instantly snapped up by someone, somewhere, with the exception of those who've been nicked

 

[weltweit]

Nope, didn't notice that.

Mind you she was as impotent as a Chinese Panda in her role so perhaps that is no suprise.

Not least because, as noted waaay up this thread, News International woefully fucked up the statutory redundancy procedure.

You're asking for a smack in the mouth, cuntlugs!!

We live in huge Mansions, paid for with housing benefit don't you know.

Yes. Sadly there's no notw for her to jump ship to.

Poor Baroness. The PCC will be an easy casualty in this, hardly worth bothering about but certainly worth it if there's a slight chance they'll grow some balls. They're as bad as the IPCC without a doubt.

 

[ymu]

did anyone notice the latest 'scalp'? Lady Buscombe, the PCC chair, is to stand down

Yeah.

You know she had to pay damages to Mark Lewis (Dowler solicitor, and also Gordon Taylor's when the payoff was negotiated), and the PCC had to formally apologise. She repeatedly said he was wrong about what a copper told him about the number of victims to the DCMS (6000 vs the "handful" they insisted it was), and he sued for libel because she was effectively saying he lied to parliament.

Fucking clueless she is.Don't appoint a judge who needs telling what to do, appoint one that will do it anyway. In this case, just appoint someone who automatically believes that the establishment is right.

Are you a Lady Buscombe fan VP?

did you read george michael's twitter today then?

I am, I am pleased to announce to the world - a twitter virgin ...

I am also an ebay virgin of which I am proud!!
