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

[London_Calling]

The narrative link is clear- as evidence is being given in one paragraph, arrests are being made in another

To my knowledge, nothing said at Leveson has directly - or indirectly - contributed to any arrests.That would be the very worst case scenario - something Leveson himself is in place not only to prevent, but to make sure the inquiry steers very wide of.

Look again at the terms of ref:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveson_Inquiry#Terms_of_reference

If you've got anything, please cite it?

 

[Santino]

You have to wade through the evidence to know what to charge them with - inconveniently, it's not an episode of Law and Order.

This is going to go on for years yet.

I might wait for the boxed set.

 

[London_Calling]

Well, the reconstructed Data Pool 3 alone is the size of a full set of Encyclopedia Britannica - multiplied by 500 i.e. a monster big library. They're trawling it for evidence by keyword search but nonetheless...

Huge scale corporate crime init, not bringing down the Barksdale gang.

 

[Badgers]

I have lost track of this.
So Rebekah Brooks is being thrown to the wolves?
No sympathy for her but Rupert and James going to just swan off scott free?

this Leveson prejudicing court cases is just smoke from those with a vested interest in discrediting the process imo

the implication from the current arrests is that they were made in conjunction with the CPS and did not even come from information gleaned from that unit working within News Intl.

these arrests read to me as being all about NI's disposal of evidence - pc's/laptops and email historys etc. this is obviously just my speculation.

 

[London_Calling]

Well yes, hence the nature of the 'suspicion' on which they've been arrested (perverting the course of justice) - attempting the disposing of evidence. As mentioned, this is the start of the serious criminality, and someway past phone hacking Sienna Miller's shaggarati.

Aye, despite all the press coverage at the start of Levesson things are far more serious now with perhaps serious criminality by senior execs and who knows perhaps senior officers in the met?

Steve Bell from a few weeks back. What I'm liking is that his current cartoons still have the reins on. Will condom-head ever shake them off, or has Bell got them stuck on for good?

Kinda

 

[London_Calling]

Yep, collusion would be nice.

Might settle for coersion (on the part of NI exec's in relation to Met officers), although we do know - from Tom Watson's Select Committee members who were subject to it - that 'threats' often came indirectly through others. But who knows ... anything's possible at this point.

 

[Dan U]

i wonder if Brooks will be spared prison cos she's just bought a baybee

 

[elbows]

Chortle, as usual the coverup is dropping people in shit even more than the original crimes:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17373545

A former News of the World journalist has been arrested in connection with suspected intimidation of a witness.
The arrest of Neville Thurlbeck, by police investigating phone hacking, also related to an allegation of encouraging or assisting an offence.

 

[DaveCinzano]

But the Rose! The Rose! Who shall review plays at the Rose? Has no one thought of the consequences to the Surrey Comet? This is an assault too far on the Fourth Estate.

 

[London_Calling]

LOL. It's like Christmas every day; naughty Nev! perverting justice - and by intimidating a witness.

Ding!

Going down!

Peter Tickner (formerly of the MPS and the MPA) Anyone know about the guy?

It looks like he is going to put the cat among the pigeon, the lawyer for the met police is not happy that he is giving evidence and claims that he timed making (putting in) his statement so he can make unproven and unsubstantiated remarks about other senior police officers after they have given evidence and will not have the right of reply.

It seems he may have an axe to grind, but he comes from the met police and the met police authority?

Peter Tickner (formerly of the MPS and the MPA) Anyone know about the guy?

Looks like he is a former auditor who already dropped them in the shit by investigations seniors and later talking to the press last summer about details that would be in his book:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...nners-with-News-of-the-World-journalists.html

Mr Tickner, in his forthcoming book - the Successful Frauditor's Casebook - writes: "It was patently clear to me that the senior officer had treated the Met's credit card as an accessory for whatever purpose he deemed fit, including buying food and alcohol for journalists and entertaining his management team at a restaurant at public expense where the cost of alcohol equalled the cost of food.
"In one twenty-four hour period, he had used the card on three separate occasions to buy alcohol.
"First, an evening meal for himself and his female staff officer away from London on official business, then the following lunchtime to buy alcohol and food at what I suspected was a farewell lunch for a member of his senior team.
"Finally, much later that same evening he had used the card to buy a bottle of champagne, although according to his official diary he was meeting a female journalist for a one-to-one briefing.
"It wasn't fraud but it certainly wasn't a proper use of public funds."

Thanks,I guess it is old news to some

Doubt it.

Perhaps it was a one-to-one de-briefing.

So Murdoch's are back in the box on the 23rd April...

It seems they have pulled Peter Tickner evidence today, but I didn't hear why and can't seem to find anything on Google. Anything in the UK news about this?

http://www.scotsman.com/news/eviden...rd-is-delayed-after-force-complaint-1-2173791

SCOTLAND Yard’s former head auditor has had his Leveson Inquiry appearance postponed after the force complained he was being allowed to air “very serious” allegations about top officers in public.

Peter Tickner, who investigated corporate credit card and expenses fraud among Metropolitan Police staff, was told his evidence session scheduled for today has been cancelled.
The move came after a lawyer for the Met objected to claims about senior officers in Mr Tickner’s written statement for the inquiry.
Neil Garnham, QC, also raised concerns about allegations in a statement by Detective Chief Inspector Clive Driscoll, who led Scotland Yard’s investigation into the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence.
Mr Tickner, the Met’s director of internal audit from 1995 to 2009, said last night: “As far as I am concerned I didn’t say anything in my statement that the Met did not already know, and what I said is of public interest.”

Neville Thurlbeck arrested on suspicion of having intimidated a witness.

Last week Thurlbeck used a blog to post part of the home address of an executive working on the management standards committee at News International

​

These people are not very bright are they, stop digging Neville ​

 

[Dan U]

you can read the 'intimidation' here

http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=48914&c=1

it would appear that Will Lewis threw a hissy fit and got his friends at the Met to nick Neville.

 

[1%er]

So you don't except that publishing the street name was a concern to his family?

If Thurlbeck has an axe to grind I'm sure he could put things in the public domain that could fuck NI, why drag innocent family members into it.

 

[Wilf]

It's quite nice when scum fall out.

Sorry to be a grammar nazi but do you mean ? you don't "accept" ?

Sorry to be a pedant, I think that you are pointing out spelling and not grammar.

apparently its fairly normal journalistic practice to name a street. Lewis would have edited many articles that did so. also, he is on the electoral register so anyone could find his house number as well (according to a journo on twitter at any rate)

he did remove it when asked as well.

so i am pretty meh about it tbh. cunts being cunts to cunts. bizarre the police got involved though.

 

[belboid]

It's not a spelling mistake, it's a malapropism.

Triple pedant points, I win, unapologetically.
