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

[Balbi]

Cameron must be making furious notes on 'how to be a proper slick bastard' right now. Blair's a complete bastard, Cameron's far, far behind anything near like his abilities.

 

[gabi]

Yep. Blairs still the best in the business when it comes to bullshitting. He has a unique way of self-puffing while also self-deprecating. Don't think you can learn this, however hard Cameron tries.

 

[Santino]

Look at the masterful way he takes off his reading glasses to make a particular point.

 

[gabi]

Look, I'm a straight kinda guy

 

[Lock&Light]

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?

Leveson is constantly asking each and everyone of the witnesses to help him by providing their insights on how press regulation can be made to work. Once again an attack on Blair is shown to be just so much hot air.

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.

I wasn't aware that I'd attributed value to one over the other.

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.

Ah, I see, that's what you're doing!

Irrespective of your inaccurate assumptions, I'm not saying that a single case of racism is "worth more" than the subject of this thread, I'm merely making clear (although obviously not clear enough that you can understand) that the reason why this thread has become a venue for calling London_Calling out, is that he posts here frequently.
There, simple enough for ya?

The man has a messiah complex.
He sees everything in terms of he, the messiah, being the ultimate arbiter. If only the G-d he represents would take him bodily into heaven!

 

[Badgers]

A protest!

To the tower with him (Blair that is)

 

[Streathamite]

bah! dp

Bless! He has done extra homework for the teacher!

he should be appled to death

Leveson currently running his overall thinking on the whole inquiry past Blair. Almost to see if he agrees. Odd.

I saw him slightly cough - i think that was when he ascended.

 

[gabi]

wtf has happened to his voice?

 

[DaveCinzano]

I saw him slightly cough

Boarding school reflex

 

[weltweit]

Is it just me or did Blair have a pretty easy ride?

I missed a lot but was he even questioned about his trip to Oz to charm the Murdock?

That's how I would go about getting an unguarded remark out of a raving egotist

 

[butchersapron]

Bend over and cough - into yer mans face.

Yeh. he was asked about that. Made no excuses. Said he at the least wanted to convince Murdoch not to attack him and at the most get him to endorse Labour.

cameron's latest spin doctor taking the beeb's political correspondent to task without realising the cameras were rolling

 

[DaveCinzano]

There's that coughing again.

I'd go even further; presentationally, Blair's the best I've ever seen (and this is meant to be a field of expertise for me)

The school of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do, I dearly hope.

 

[Streathamite]

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

Huh? EVERY barrister with a track record of more than 10 years - as he has - has plenty of court experience!

Well it all sounds completely vomit inducing, I am glad I've been at work all day and too busy to look at the internet or a T.V.

'Nother Weeting arrest...

Scotland Yard said: "A 42-year-old woman [W] was arrested this morning, Monday 28 May 2012 by officers from Operation Weeting, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) investigation into the hacking of voicemail boxes.

She was arrested after attending a south-west London police station by appointment at approximately 11:00hrs on suspicion of money laundering offences, contrary to section 327 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and is currently being questioned."

Makes 25 in the hacking investigation... but laundering of what money is alleged?

 

[kenny g]

could be as simple as bungs. The POCA2002 is pretty wide ranging.

Like I said - he's a bastard, but he's a complete bastard. No missing elements to his facade. It's when he started hanging around with Bush, who's the complete opposite presentationally, that he got in trouble
