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

Actually that's a £150 per week spend, combine that with several schools worth of purchase power and that's my local branch wondering what happened. Get the likes of Mumsnet & other groups who make supermarket runs and yes, that's going to hurt them.

Great! They'll be able to make quite a lot of minimum-wage checkout staff redundant.
 
Hunt expected to delay decision on BSkyB takeover, according to the FT:

From the above:

In a first round of consultation last March, the government received 40,000 responses. Reading each one of those took civil servants and outside lawyers three working weeks.

At the same rate, it would take seven and a half weeks to consider 100,000 submissions, taking the earliest date for an announcement to August 30.

You have until lunchtime tomorrow to send in your submission.

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.

I think that is a good point!

Have you never come across a campaign before?

If the pressure is kept up I am sure Tesco will pull their ads long before anything like that happens, you daft twat. :rolleyes:
 
The problem is of course is that the cops can't be trusted not to do a bit of shredding themselves

Indeed...

There seems to be a silly duality in this ..

Rebeka Brooks investigating herself - I think we all know how that will turn out

And

The Police investigating themselves - and they have had the info for years, so how is that going to work out I wonder ..
 
Is this boycott solely against the NOTW? It's not really going to hurt Rupert if they redirect advertising to Sky, or the Sun , or the Times

It's not that simple. Advertising bought in the NOTW would be targeted at a particular demographic (i.e. readers of a right-wing Sunday red-top). Shifting the advertising to other fora of the same publishing group wouldn't reach that demographic.

I'm more worried about the NOTW doing a Hearst and running the advertising anyway, gratis, in an effort to ingratiate themselves with their former advertisers.
 
Just pointing out the ramifications of your bully boy tactics.

If they're made redundant it's a nice payout, and local shops can again thrive, they need staff too!

By your logic it's sad that NOTW employees will soon be made redundant too.

Awww, diddums.

I doubt they would have the required artwork to do that, besides the boycotting advertisers would be seriously pissed-off it they did, as it would leave them with egg on their faces.

Anyway, meanwhile more shit hitting the fan - Evidence in Tommy Sheridan trial to be investigated amid phone-hacking revelations
 
Lots of grounds to appeal plenty of murder conviction, child murders too.

Nice one NOTW. This shit is potentially setting paedophiles free.

You utter cunts.
 
The Mail is worse, or so an old mate of mine who used to be a tabloid hack said. It's a shame he and I have lost touch, because I'd love to know what he makes of all this...

I think it's only a question of time before someone starts leaking info on the Mail, and others, but lets enjoy the mess News International is in first, before moving on.
 
This sounds most likely. In fact, many would probably see Hague as PM as the correcting of an error in the first place.

don't see Hague doing it - he's already been targetted by the tabloids - all that is he or isn't he gay, and sharing a room with a researcher and that

Theresa May?
 
No. Boycotting the paper itself, and making the millions of people who read it aware of what's been going on would be more effective, I think.

Wrong. Advertisers are pulling out NOW. This is costing NOTW money NOW, before the paper has even hit the stands.

You're so wrong on this it hurts reading your crap. Don't you see, attacking them like this involves everyone who uses all the companies who advertise in it, not just the couple of million who actually buy it.
