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

[Lord Camomile]

I think it's entirely possible he'd enjoy annoying Morgan.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh wait, it'll be Ulrika, surely! Isn't she a witness in this? Is it only core participants who get to ask Jay to put questions to witnesses? Is Johnson a CP?

 

[butchersapron]

At risk of putting his own shit back out in public? No. He is their's. That disguising dinner party scene makes that clear as nordic morning.

 

[elbows]

John Reid hasn't changed much eh, boring the inquiry to death and bigging up the war on terror.

 

[elbows]

So this weeks lineup has been extended, with the addition of the permanent secretary at dept. for culture, media and sport appearing on Friday morning.

 

[London_Calling]

Isn't that the man Margaret Hodge tried to harrangue a couple of weeks ago in relation to Jezza Hunt?

 

[elbows]

I checked and the answer is yes.

I guess Hunts appearance is also rather imminent given who is on Thursdays schedule and the 'I'll deal with this affair before the end of May' assurances that Leveson gave in response to complaints that he was cramping the houses style.

the mysterious Frederic Michel about to the take the stand

 

[DexterTCN]

My 17 year old daughter looks up from her sudoku..."who's that?"..."That's frederic michel, newscorp guy who was a main contact with hunt and hunt's advisor."

She listens to him some more.

"Guilty." she says, and goes back to the puzzle.

 

[gabi]

He's been a bit blind-sided here. Hunt's more fucked than ever.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Sudoku? At her age she should be out injecting that crack cocaine and getting boys pregnant.

 

[DexterTCN]

Yes, she just hasn't met the wrong boy yet.

 

[DexterTCN]

Michel has to justify supporting Nadal against Murray, looks worried. lol

 

[two sheds]

Guardian news line saying:
"Police watchdog says there have been more than 8,500 complaints about police corruption in England and Wales in the last three years – though only 13 officers have been prosecuted and found guilty."

Bloody British public, more than 8,487 out of 8,500 complaints obviously pure lies.

And that's just allegations of corruption.

Delicious that members of the crack Scotland Yard anti-corruption squad are being done for err corruption.

 

[killer b]

wasn't the excuse last month that texts & communications were between michel & adam smith in hunt's office, not directly with hunt? evidence today is directly contradicting that isn't it? or have i missed something?

there's something shameful about a government minister using txtspk too. have some decorum ffs.

Michel to Hunt:
20 January 2011
20.54
Great to see you today. We should get little [children's name redacted] together in the future to socialise. Nearly born the same day at the same place!
Warm regards
Fred
Hunt to Michel:
20 January 2011
23.45
Good to see you too. hope u understand why we have to have the long process. Let's meet up when things are resolved. J.
Michel to Hunt:
20 January 2011
6.58am
"We do, and we'll do our very best to be constructive and helpful throughout. You were very impressive yesterday. "
Michel to Hunt:
13 March 2011
"Very good on Marr as always."
Hunt to Michel:
13 March 2011
"Merci. Hopefully when consultation over we can have a coffee like the old days."

 

[Streathamite]

pukeworthy yes, but also v important. I actually don't see how Hunt can last much longer now, not with today's testimony

 

[DaveCinzano]

Clearly you underestimate his sword of truth and trusty shield of fair play.

 

[DexterTCN]

Oh my sides are aitken.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Politics: ritz a dirty job but somebody has to do it.

 

[Streathamite]

Clearly you underestimate his sword of truth and trusty shield of fair play.

v good!

 

[Badgers]

Huntwatch must have him on days only now? Come on Teflon man, walk away now and salvage 1% of the tiny bit of shame you have

 

[elbows]

I don't see how they've got enough time left to do Smith properly today.

 

[DaveCinzano]

How long can it take to mash up the face of someone whose legs have already been done?

 

[Santino]

Depends on whether you use your invisible hand or not.

Not seen this today - nothing's happened to change the existing narriatve from what I can see?

As best I can tell, broadly no change. But the evidence today has been a pain to digest as its so many fragments of emails & texts and mobile phone call timings, so may require some time to fully appreciate. Personally Im not trying too hard to get a full grip on it until Smith has given evidence, although things Jay has said give plenty of indications of areas Smith will challenge.

The direct texts between Michel and Hunt might be new, but they aren't so much a smoking gun but rather an indication that they were friendly towards each other.

Bah, Michels use of language does seem to confirm suggestions over the last month that Hunt & Smith can mount a pretty vigorous defence. i.e. some of the most controversial sentences in the emails are not standing up well to scrutiny.
