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

Anyone read/got this story?

Fascinating Journo/Police story in Private Eye

Linking the cop who threatened the Guardian with the Official Secrets Act - Peter Spindler; his erstwhile colleague Daniel Beck - a covert ops detective - and the tec's wife Lucy Panton; the now unemployed News of the World crime reporter (bought from The People some years ago).

Panton and Myler (then NOTW Editor) wined and dined Yates of the Yard in November 2009.

Wonder who paid?
 
I did watch it - and it was Paxman that put forward the views closest to mine as regards the Guardian and Davies publishing speculation as stone cold fact. The NOTW features editor and Davies both just engaged in an extended game of tu quoque. So sorry, missed your target once more.
 
Nah, you and NotW rep were as one. It's not Paxman's job to have a view, he questions the view of others.

Nice company for you.
As pointed out (and is easily available for all to see here) Paxman was the only person on that panel who put the same points as me - that the guardian printed speculation as fact, not the NOTW bloke - regardless of your bizarre and irrelevant claim that Paxman is not paid to have a view. The NOTW and Davies both just finger pointed at each other in way that had nothing whatsoever to do with any criticisms that i've made about the way the Guardian and Davies have handled this latest twist. Look it's quite clear what you're trying to do here - but, as ever, you've messed the attempted smear/attack up. Better luck next time Cato. (But maybe think about not providing the evidence that pulls the ground out from underneath you eh? Little tip there)
 
It's because the link to the possible private eye story is on jonathon king's forum. It's handy of garf to point out exactly the sort of smear that Cato's nasty amalgamation logic leads to though, so i'm grateful for that at least.

are you defending JK then butch...

why in fact would you even go near that site or that person or indeed grant any crediblity to anything they have to say or those associated with them have to say ...

you are chris langham I claim my 5 pounds...

btw it can only be a smear if the underlying facts are untrue or distorted JK was tried and found guilty of sexual abuse of a minor, possession of indecent images of a minor and did time for it...

you're citing it a sa credible source of information and indeed directly linking to it...

whilst it's not a hostile site you would have thought even your belligerent boneheadedness can see linking to a peados site is always going to place you in choppy waters to say the least...

I know butchers can fend for himself, but I could swear that what he was doing is asking if anyone could verify that a story has appeared in Private Eye. And for all its faults I would PE as a credible source.

But you knew all that anyway.

edit: didn't see the story in question when I had a quick look through.
 
Any comments on this Graun op-ed feature yet, please?

David Leigh is described as the Guardian's 'investigations editor' ..... he doesn't mention Nick Davies at all in that particular feature, but presumably Leigh still has some good points to make?

< Highly :confused: about the recent direction this thread has taken, but I have to admit the thread is moving too fast for me :confused: >
 
Deafening silence from News Corp since the police announcement on the deletions aspect of the story .... perhaps they're still picking themselves up off the floor.
 
News of the World shut down, News International's bid for BskyB booted out and Murdochs hold on british politics irreversalbly broken - and the catalyst for all this was a sensationalised story that whipped up an unstoppable tide of moral outrage - all based on 'facts' that turned out to be totally false.

How much more poetic can justice be?

there once was a man name of murdoch,
he controlled the bulk of the press,
but now that the sly sop of cameron's in charge,
i really just couldn't care less.....
