Seriously, fuck off. Your utterly retarded input has only served to strengthen my resolve.
I'll be doubling my efforts to "bully" Tescos and it'll be all your fault.
You see the ramifications of your actions??
Most of us dont' read the paper anyway. Millions already know, if they're minded to stick a TV or radio on, read anything other than the NoTW. Through voiceing concerns to the advertisers and make them aware of who / what they're associating with by continuing to advertise in the NoTW. That is logical and having definite effects. How can you think there's something wrong with that tactic? Your sense of power balances is screwed up.

Actually they will probably be in gainful paid employment at one of the myriad of smaller businesses that Tesco drive out of business, or better yet actually owning and running a business themselves.

Most are only pulling out because of the pressure from the campaign.
Why am I responding to this trolling fuckwit?

But what do you think is meant by this, what apart from the targetted voicing of concern do you actually think any individuals on here are actually going to do?
Tesco stopping their ad campaign in NOTW is not going in the short term to affect at all how many people shop at Tesco. All it is going to do is make NOTW less financially viable for the period while the adverts are stopped.
And that seems a perfectly viable and ethical aim to me.

Precisely. Nobody wants to be a slave to the Cohen empire.

Hardly getting over it.
I may be a bit out-of-date, but last I knew, News International titles are all distributed by News International Distribution Ltd, and have been since Wapping, and WHS and J. Menzies' wholesale arms have no involvement with them.
Given that most "phone hacking" simply involves obtaining the mobile number of someone in the news, working out which network they are on, and then phoning the voicemail access number for that network, and typing in the "victim"s phone number and (if they have not set a PIN) listening to their voicemails, I can't believe that most of the papers (or their paid-but-not-directly-employed snoopers) have not been doing this. A lot.
The other papers must be breathing an (undeserved) sigh of relief.
It's rather like when protestors attack Tesco for being big, ruthless, ruining local high streets etc, and mostly ignore Sainsburys, Morrisons, Asda etc who are just as bad, just not the biggest.
Or the same when people slate McDs for selling overpriced, unhealthy food, bad employment practices etc, and ignore BK, KFC etc.
I'm sure most, if not all, of the papers have benefitted from information obtained in this way for years.
This has a lot further to go, I think.
Giles..

No, News International Distribution Ltd only handles distribution to the 130+ wholesaler depots, not direct to the retailers.
There's only about 5 independent wholesale depots, something like 97% of the market is in the hands of WHSmith & J. Menzies'.

Well it certainly wont be the Treasury, given how fond Tesco are of seeking ever more fun ways to not pay tax.
BBC were saying 11,000 hacks this morning.
I think NI had admitted to 15 and claimed it was the end of the matter.

To be frank, the tactic of going after the supply lines (money and materiel) is entirely sound. Capture the "baggage train" and you inhibit room to manouvre for "the enemy". It's a tactic that's been successfully used for thousands of years, and it sometimes works to bring conflict to an end more quickly.
Perhaps EoY is suggesting a Father ted-like standing around with placards declaring "down with this sort of thing"?

This time of the year is normally known as the 'Silly Season' in Fleet Street. It seems the BBC have excelled themselves with their articles and radio coverage.
The latest being the so called hacking of forces telephones. The article below is probably one of the very best at creating a story from pure conecture. Not a single fact!
Poor, poor reporting. Create an emotional knee-jerk article based on conjecture not fact. Shame on Radio 4's "Today" for carrying an interview with Ms. Gentle.
I look forward to C4's expose this evening.
BBC. We'll write anything to fill our web pages.

If he was routinely hacking that many phones it is no wonder he kept detailed records.

Or perhaps she's just a fucking idiot who can't see the writing on the wall.
