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

[MellySingsDoom]

According to the Belfast Telegraph, the face behind Walker's Crisps (Gary Lineker) is "considering his position" as a columnist for the News Of The World.

e2a: Apparently Michael Mansfield QC (who represented Dodi Fayed at the time of Princess Diana's death, and also the family of Jean Charles de Menezes) was targeted as well.

It seems that the police/law courts/whoever have decided now is the time to deal with an increasing problem that is spoiling the free press, civil liberties, justice system and much more. This is HUGE for many, many reasons. A fundamental change in the politics of the World we live in. No surprise that new technologies are being abused for financial gain by evil fuckers, but it's reached the point when something has to be done.

I wouldnt hold my breath - this is still being reported as a problem limited to News International, after all. Even as all this is coming out, the same techniques that were used to conceal it from everyone are still being used to conceal the rest of the guilty.

Sunday Mail's ad revenue must be going through the roof

Which is the depressing thing.

Bang goes that epoch defining moment of unity...

The Murdoch empire and its malign hold over politics is taking a major, richly deserved and long overdue kicking. And this is kicking coming from ordinary, non-political people who are disgusted by what is being revealed. In addition it dips Cameron and the Met right into the shit as a brucie bonus.

Whats not to like?

I mean seriously - how is this anyhting other than something to be celebrated?

Of course their will be other media moguls and more police corruption and politicians will still be heaviuly influecned by right wing media and big corporations - but its an ongoing battle agasint power, corruption and tyranny and right now those forces are being pushed back.

This, Elizabeth of York, is why we are all "getting off" on the current situation. And no it doesn't mean that we don't feel sympathy for the people who have had their phones hacked....or their rabbits.

Yes. I think that's the problem. You're all enjoying yourself enormously at the thought of hurting Murdoch and chums. Do any of you actually give a toss about the victims of the phone hacking, or are you just getting off on the Murdoch hate-frenzy?

How about BOTH?? I'd lay good money they were tapping the phone of Sarah Payne's mum too.

You can fuck off too if you're here to defend them or divert this operation.

They are going down whether you like it or not. By fair means or foul.

So you admit you're using bully boy tactics, threats and intimidation.

I doubt she's here to defend them, rather balk at tactics

Which is the depressing thing.

The Daily Mail employ equally scurrilous tactics via private detectives etc., but as they haven't been caught and aren't doing anything about it, then obviously it's ok to advertise with them instead and buy their papers.

Exactly that.

Sorry but that's not only bollocks, it's insulting bollocks. How can people not feel for the family of a murdered child left with false hope by these assholes just so they can sell a few papers and for you to suggest that people here don't care about that is a disgraceful comment to make frankly. But this goes way beyond the pain and grief and violation of one family. This scandal raises the most serious questions about the hold that an unaccountable tycoon has on the political life of this country and that should concern us all.

So yes I am loving this, watching this dreadful corporation reap the consequences of what it has sown. This is richly deserved and I am enjoying every second of it. They deserve it.

You need to update Boots, after a review they have now pulled out.

How could anyone not care? I think you have to take that as read.

Enjoying the hurt inflicted on Murdoch and his chums is fully justified, they've been hurting people for decades but unfortunately it's only now that the wider public are beginning to see just what shits they really are.

Hatred of Murdoch and his organsiation is rooted in hatred of what it has done to its many many victims over the past 30+ years. Direcetly - as in the case of the Hillsborough dead and the families of murdred kids - and indirecitly in its role as cheerleader in chief for all the nastiest poliies and hate campaigns since the 80s - campaings and policies that have created uncountable victims from the smashed communities of Thatchers wrecking ball, to refugees, immigrants and gay people beaten up, to the demonsiation of the poor and disabled to the 100s of thousands of corpses in Iraq.

That's a moronic post. Really, all your posts so far have been moronic.

No - they have been caught, and they did try to do something about the people who tried to expose it.

Dear Martin Lewis,

Until you stop contributing to the News of the World paper in ANY format I will boycott your website. I have also made family, friends and business associates aware of your position on this.

You portray your work as a public service, but your association with a newspaper happy to tap the phones of murder victims makes your work seem like a shallow, selfish excercise lacking in morals.

 

[dylans]

So you admit you're using bully boy tactics, threats and intimidation.

No, but I am open to suggestions

This I would love to hear.

Predictable. And childish.
