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

Precisely. Nobody is 'bullying' the advertisers (and the idea that people are bullying Tesco is laughable anyway) - just showing them how disgusted people are with the NotW, and dropping a broad hint that it will do them no good to continue their association with it.

The Cathars were right
Torch his gaff?
That was / is my understanding too ^
2,606,397 average circulation per week - 04 Apr 11 - 01 May 11 so £2,606,397 is the average weekly revenue from sales to readers. So that is an annual revenue (from sales) of approx £135m for the NOTW at current readership.
From the BBC it is less clear:
Like most newspapers, it is heavily dependent on advertising revenue, which provided it with some £40m in the past 12 months - although the paper makes more than three times that from its sales to readers
However their top 10 advertisers spent pretty much £40m over 12 months. That £40 is only their top 10, what about the hundreds of others?
The past few days have had something of the flavour of the last days of Richard Nixon, and I certainly loved every second of that.

She cant survive. News International will have to sacrifce her to try and being some closure and protect NIs reputation (good luck with that BTW rupe). And Cameron is under intense pressure from his own side to call for her head. Coulson is already fucked and likely to go to prison.

The wheels on the bus go round and round....
I agree.
Down, yes, but not by anything like half - I doubt that many NOTW readers will give a flying fuck TBH.

Campaigns like THIS have not been anything to do with previous failed attempts to destroy these papers.
The world has moved on. Even Mumsnet has more influence than what's left of the anarchists.
but this isn't anything like that - this is grubby little hacks doing grubby little hack things, unpleasant but comparatively trivial in the wider scheme of things

One on one? You're crazy.
Labour are covered in shit over this as well, their only saving grace is the shit hit the fan after they lost the election - Alan Johnson was in the Guardian today basically saying they avoided taking action a few years ago - and the press spokesman (can't remember his name) was advising them until a few days ago, not to criticise Murdoch.
Basically every PM since Thatcher has tried to cosy up to Murdoch.

Use your imagination.
I would guess half too
Dropping their approx paper sales revenue from £2.6m to £1.3m.
Advertising will drop by a lot more that half I reckon
The staff, office, print, distribution and other overheads will be pretty static
Yep. And there's plenty of opportunity for him to say something self damning while this is going on, even if no effect is seen just yet.
@Marty21 I thought Brooks was friends with the Cameronss. Re that intervention he made on her behalf before.
As a one off, maybe. That being said I don't know how much of their distribution is to subscribers and paper boys etc, I don't think may will be cancelling subscriptions.
I think a lot of of their readership will want to make their thoughts clear, if only for one week.

tightropes are of course not famous for their explosive quality. i think you meant to say he faces the possibility of being blown off (ooer missus) by a great gust of hot air. which would have made more sense.

they all live close by, I think she lives in Chipping Norton (I drove through that the other day - very posh) next door to Cameron's constituency in Witney, I think someone already mentioned that Murdoch jr was best man at her wedding - they probably have hilarious dinner parties

What is is not is a campaign that Socialist Circlejerker can claim any credit for, not this time.
Though they'll try.

Hardly getting over it.
The Tory right has been sharpening their knives for him since he became leader. They knew they needed him to get a sniff of power, but if they can use this as a reason for an internal coup, to get one of their own in the driving seat, they will.
Nope I deliberatly mixed my metaphors, I'm in a kind of early weekend mood and I'd thought I'd throw caution to the wind and see where it takes me.

trouble is - the cupboard's bare of potential leaders - who do they have?
Jeremy Hunt? He was doing ok until this bit him on the arse
The Boy Chancellor? - lol
Michael Gove?
Kenneth Clarke - oh yes, the Right hate him too

Something like this....
"Hi Id like to make an enquiry about a corporate subscription?"
"Certainly sir"
"Nahh not really, you bunch of cunts"
