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

Is this sort of thing common? I've never seen it work like this before anyway.

I'm not logged into Google, so I'm not getting personalised search results.

search "Gawker injunction murdoch"

The first result is the bare URL of the banned Gawker article mentioned above. Clicking the link of course doesn't go anywhere from this UK IP address.

At the bottom is the usual boilerplate when Google censors a search result:

In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org.


The text on the ChillingEffects link is:

Legal Complaint to Google
Sent by: Kingsley Napley
To: Google
The cease-and-desist or legal threat you requested is not yet available.
Chilling Effects will post the notice after we process it.

You can look up who Kingsley Napley are yourselves.

Question: When Google is forced to comply with an injunction, do they usually leave the URL to the injuncted article in the search results? Or has there been something else completely removed from the results for that particular search term? (my terminology is probably all over the place, hope you get the gist anyway)
 
So...did she fuck cameron?

Mirror phone-hacking claims to go ahead
MGN had sought to strike out parts of the claim brought by Mr Eriksson

Claims for phone-hacking damages brought by former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and three others against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) can go ahead, the High Court has ruled.

The link to a Moron is re-ignited...
 
I guess many people would have realised by now that the man's a complete scumbag, but just in case there were any remaining doubts

Tony Blair advised Rebekah Brooks on phone-hacking scandal, court hears

Tony Blair advised Rebekah Brooks to launch a "Hutton style" inquiry into phone hacking at the News of the World at the height of the scandal over the issue, according to an email that has emerged at the Old Bailey trial.

The revelation emerged in an email that was read to the jury in the hacking trial on Wednesday, and followed what Brooks said was an hour-long phone call.

According to the email, sent the day after the News of the World's final issue and six days before Brooks was arrested, Blair also told her he was "available" to her and Rupert and James Murdoch as an "unofficial adviser" on a "between us" basis.

The advice was said to have been given on 11 July 2011 and contained in an email she sent at 4.20pm to James Murdoch, the then executive chairman of News International.

According to Brooks's note, Blair advised her to set up an "independent" inquiry, suggesting it could have "outside counsel, Ken Macdonald [the former director of public prosecutions], a great and good type".

He said the inquiry would be "Hutton style" – a reference to Lord Hutton's inquiry into the death of David Kelly – and would "clear" her, but warned that "shortcomings" would have to be accepted as a result of the report....
 
Hmm, "Hutton style enquiry". That makes me want to see a review of the Hutton enquiry. As for Blair being bad, yes this revelation adds to that reputation. :hmm:
 
The Guardian always knew the story wasn't true (imo), but who cares? It meant the wider story got a full and proper hearing, that it wouldn't have done otherwise (as no one really cared when it was just celebs being bugged)
 
A retired detective has accused News of the World journalists of attempting "to undermine" the police investigation into an axe murder.

Furious that News of the World staff were working hand-in-hand with his murder suspects, Mr Cook demanded a meeting with the company and eventually sat down with then editor Rebekah Brooks.

Mr Cook said: "I brought this to the attention of Rebekah Brooks.

"I had the meeting, that is a fact. She chose to do nothing about it.
 
Anyone got any further info - what is this trial about?

PHARO:BROOKS' ROLE AS EDITOR DISGUISED FROM CORRUPTION TRIAL

WAPPING, EAST LONDON; BRENTWOOD, SAFFRON WALDEN, ESSEX Rebekah Brooks' role as editor of The Sun in paying sources was 'disguised' from the corruption trial of six of the paper's journalists, a court heard today (fri). Hundreds of payment request forms signed by Mrs Brooks and her successor, Dominic Mohan, have failed to materialise at the trial at Kingston Crown Court, it is said. Oliver Blunt QC told jurors they were 'misled' about the editor's involvement, only for some evidence to be 'flushed out' of News International by defence solicitors. 'You were completely misled at the outset in regard to the authorisation process for cash payments', he said.
 
Something in the papers about it last week too (possibly the Independant?), with the defendants alleging they'd been stitched up to save more senior figures. Pretty much the same allegation iirc.

eta: It was actually the Guardian article Butcher's posted a lint to.

Brooks will never do time, some people have an immunity to prosecution.
