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

[belboid]

I thought this cunt had been sent midlands way?

yeah, its unusual for arrogant purveyors of racist abuse to just amble back pretending nothing had happened.

But Old Tosser is exceptionally thick and arrogant

 

[Streathamite]

Is Leveson a "judicial proceeding" for the purposes of the Act ...

yes, it is, and murdoch coluld be prosecuted, though I doubt that would happen

 

[London_Calling]

Show me the case law, then.

And no, no one will be prosecuted for 'evidence' given at Leveson.

 

[agricola]

Whether or not Leveson counts when it comes to perjury doesnt really matter; there are offences relating to the provision of evidence and the concealment of evidence contained within the Inquiries Act 2005.

Meanwhile, Miliband drones on.

edited to remove the word "testimony"

 

[Streathamite]

see belboids post re; Saville.
more importantly, it could really hurt NI in loads of other ways

 

[London_Calling]

belboid? LOL. Is he really still trying to talk to me after 15 months on ignore? Bless his angriest-person-on-the-internet, 5' 6'' socks.

You can just cite a case if you want to pursue the point, it's interesting enough (if only in the academic sense)?

 

[belboid]

belboid? LOL. Is he really still trying to talk to me after 15 months on ignore?

I haven't been 15 month on ignore, you liar. You tried to ignore me, but failed completely and utterly (yet another failure to add to your collection)

Can't help yourself, can you?

 

[Streathamite]

Ok - EXACTLY the same one he cited; Saville, an enquiry with the same status in law as this one. The prosecution of several servicem was under serious consideration.

 

[London_Calling]

The prosecution of several servicem was under serious consideration.

This has zero legal significance or weight. They probably gave pizza serious consideration during the "consideration" as well.

Just one cite of a prosecution would suffice.

 

[agricola]

Ok - EXACTLY the same one he cited; Saville, an enquiry with the same status in law as this one. The prosecution of several servicem was under serious consideration.

Actually, Saville did not have the same status in law as Leveson does. Leveson stated in his opening remarks:

Good morning. My name is Brian Leveson. Although flattered that various politicians and members of the press have elevated me to the rank of peerage, I am not Lord Leveson: my judicial rank is that of a Lord Justice of Appeal. On 13 July, the Prime Minister announced that I would be appointed to chair an Inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 and promulgated draft Terms of Reference. When I made a statement following that announcement, I said that when the panel of experts has been appointed, I would provide more information on how I intended that the Inquiry should proceed and in relation to the calling for evidence and that I would seek to do so before the end of the month.

... wheras the Saville inquiry took place under (at least according to Wikipedia) the (now repealed) Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921. The older piece of legislation had much weaker powers with regards to compelling evidence, dealing with misleading evidence etc etc

 

[Streathamite]

picking your brains, agricola, does that mean greater powers for prosecution for lying under oath? Onloy your earlier link, tho helpful, wasn't clear

 

[Streathamite]

quite impressed by millibrow, btw, calling effectively for NI to be shackled/broken up

 

[agricola]

It all depends on what evidence means in the context of the 2005 act; if it includes testimony when being questioned then you would think that some people - Murdoch and Brown especially - might have a bit to worry about.

Lib Dems ordered to abstain in the commons vote about Hunt.

Cunts

When asked, a Liberal Democrat source said: "We are not jumping on Jeremy Hunt's corpse, but there are still questions left unanswered."

So, ask?

 

[little_legs]

will be interesting to see if there will be any Tory abstentions.

 

[Badgers]

It is her big day today

Or the first of many big days

 

[London_Calling]

Presumably it's the Arraignment; 'Rebekah Brooks' so-and-so address', 'not guilty'. See you next time.

She'll spend more time on the steps showing off the new puritan dress and smiling weakly through her martyrdom ordeal.

 

[Streathamite]

her being Clegg?

[co-op]

Brown would obv. know it was minuted, Murdoch wouldn't - assuming there wasn't another less 'official' call as well. Which there could have been given how close the two had been.


Sure, it's sitting in court 72 at the High Court. As to why... like I said, you wouldn't think Leveson himself would he comfortable with pure theatre so perhaps there is a reason I'm not aware of. In the meantime, s1(2) here really isn't helpful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury#England_and_Wales

Is Leveson a "judicial proceeding" for the purposes of the Act ...

Pretty obviously; yes.

Alternatively, as you say, it's just "pure theatre", which is a tad unlikely.

The press ignored me, Nick Clegg tells Leveson Inquiry

Nick Clegg described today how the press "ignored or derided" him and the Liberal Democrats before they entered government.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that at one dinner party with Rupert Murdoch and News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks in 2009, he had been put at the "very end of the table where the children sit".

Never thought Brooks would do anything to endear her to me.

 

[butchersapron]

Cameron still makes him sit with the kids today.

 

[Santino]

If he keeps treating him like that he runs the risk of Clegg ineffectually abstaining from more votes in the future.

I'm imaging Clegg at an undersized red plastic table, knees around his ribs, with a torn party hat on

Then leading an 8 year old Cameron girl around the dancefloor, her clunky shoes crushing his stockinged feet as he jigs uncomfortably to the latest pop hit from Rihanna.
