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

Cross-thread arguing is bad, Spurs were unlucky enough to have that in the thread, let them keep it.

Certainly not an important thread like this. (no offence, spursy people)
 
If not here, a thread that London_Calling has posted on many times, and where he is likely to see the criticism, then where? Should it be kept quiet so it doesn't distract from this important thread?

he's seen the criticism and doesn't seem bothered about it, apart from the spurs thread this is the first time I've seen it mentioned , unless I'm missing something it seems odd that it should suddenly be bought up here and now.
 
If you think one man's alleged racism is more worth discussing than the goings-on in this thread then it deserves its own call-out thread.

Many on this thread have posted, watched tv, read online and paper articles, listened to radio debates, seen multiple arrests, sackings, a corporation being shaken, the government being shaken, possibly the biggest ever cleansing of corruption in our history.

You're like The Sun, which flashes nonsense to distract from what we witness.
 
Jesus christ. He's already offered to provide Leveson with a written list of ways the media could be corrected. Surely that's Leveson's job, not Blair's?

Still meddling after all these years :facepalm:

One would also think that it would have been more appropriate to have done so whilst enjoying all the benefits and powers of the offices of the First Lord of the Treasury.
 
Anyway. this is a pointless witness.

a) its ancient history and b) he's a far better barrister than anyone else in that courtroom. bring on Osbourne.
 
He arrived about 9 i think. here he is going in.

Actually Blair could be a key witness - lets face it he could have known about the likely extent of criminality within the press as long ago as 2006, and he does have form for killing off politically inconvienient investigations (both directly as in the case of BAe, and indirectly using the press to pressure Police and CPS as in the cash-for-honours inquiry).

Asking him what he thinks about something is pointless though, he just waffles on endlessly and comes up with pleasant images of Tony and what he did.
 
Blair on Murdoch -- I wouldn't describe him as a tribal Tory.

^^ weirdly, i think that's actually true, having watched RM's evidence to both the select committee and leveson. very easy to cast him as a tory but i think he's just a pure, dedicated capitalist. big difference.

Bollocks.. Fuck all court experience and he specialized in tax law. A silk he is not

hmm... can't actually find much reportage on his legal career. certainly nothing about being a tax lawyer. his most high profile case seems to have been this before he went into politics.

He appears in a number of reported cases, for example as in Nethermere (St Neots) Ltd v Gardiner[20] where he represented employers unsuccessfully in an attempt to deny female factory workers holiday pay.
