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

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.

They'd take a further battering for hypocrisy after giving Labour such stick for installing Brown as PM without calling a new General Election, too :)
 
What is happening with orange/t-mobile btw? Last I heard they were reviewing things. As an orange user my fingers are getting itchy to e-mail but I want to get my facts straight first.

Not after the mess he made of Libya. David Davis maybe, with Boris as a wildcard. Although theres little doubting Boris is a cunt it would be quite funny to have him as pm for a week, if just to troll the rest of the world.

Libya? That's a far-away place with a funny name.

How do people think Boris would get from where he is - incumbent mayor of London who's running for office again soon, to become an MP and then PM?
 
Much as I love the speculation, I don't see Cameron falling over this. Grovelling admissions that he made a misjudgement, perhaps, but that's it.

If he did fall, I would see Hague as the obvious replacement. Not sure how much of a step forward that would be tbh.

yesterday, it was all 'cameron begged murdoch not to sack brooks'

today it's 'brooks is like family to murdoch, he'll never sack her'

which is it?

It's whichever best serves Murdoch by making him seem to have a modicum of control over this cluster-fuck.

You're right, but the speculation is more about his own party stabbing him in the back, which is possible but not likely, not yet anyway.

that's because you don't understand it. it's not come from nowhere, and only a thick fuck would suggest it had. it's similar to the reaction people have when they see that a friend has let them down or fucked them over very badly, and any sort of amity turns to hatred.

for politicians, however, as has been pointed out a lot of them have wanted to put the boot in for some time but hadn't dared.

Er .. I was parodying PKs argument.

Whats seems to be happending is that large numbers of usually unpolitical people are (rightly) disgusted by whats been revealved and they are being used as a battering ram by the many many people who are opposed to Murdoch - yes that includes other media orgs with their own agenda and MPs with personal grudges, but it also includes every left leaning political person in the country (including people within the meda and politics) whose opposition is partly fuelled on HUGE amoount of in deph criticism of NI (and media ownerships/practice genrally) built up over many years. So all the detailed stuff about the baleful influecne of the murdoch over politics is suddenly becoming relevant after being pretty much ignored as an uncomfortable truth for years.

And I swear you can hear BBC staff pissing themselves laughing in the background on News24.

no, hitler was a grade a cunt, stalin was a grade a cunt, so cameron's at best a grade b cunt. unless you know something you'd like to share with the rest of us.

you want to get into a debate about who sits where on a scale of cuntishness?

Or were you just nit-picking for the sake of it?

does that include his medical records?
i think we can allow him his outrage there
Click to expand...

I haven't said that he has no reason for outrage, and of course his medical records should be sacrosanct (although taking a pic of him trotting along to the clap clinic would be a different story), but as I did say, his privacy is limited, and it's limited by the fact that as a public person, he's been collusive with the media often enough to know the score and to act accordingly, at least minimising the amount of shit the media can generate.

According to Forbes - they are "reviewing" their position - so get emailing/Twittering!!

I can well imagine it is a pretty ugly place to work right now!!!

I'm sure the shredders are working overtime. The whole place should be shut down and treated as a crime scene with cops in those white suits and that "do not cross" tape around the building and a tent in the car park.
 
so , they are delaying the decision are they ? how about having a spine and making a decision not to let Murdoch buy the remaining share?

it all stinks
