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

[gavman]

hey, there's an idea. Instead of contacting advertisers asking them to search their conscience, we could contact the 2m readers individually instead!

somehow i feel on firmer ground pressurising the companies spending OUR money

 

[cantsin]

No sign of Miliband getting rid of his own ex-News International Press bod, though.

no chance

 

[goldenecitrone]

Looks like they are going to sack everybody apart from Rebekah Brooks. Her popularity must be hitting new heights outside of the Murdoch mafia clan.

Guardian

Paul McMullan, former features executive at the News of the World, has again laid into Rebekah Brooks - this time on Sky News. He accused Brooks and Andy Coulson of failing to take responsibility for the phone hacking scandal and sticking up for their staff. McMullan said Brooks should have stood up for the paper's reporters and defended their practices, which he described as a "grey area" necessary for exposing corruption.

"Instead she's said, 'No, I didn't know ... I just happened to be the editor'. She's trashed the reputation of the News of the World, she's closed the paper, she should be sacked."

And still nowt from Brooks.

She's probably in a basement at Wapping wearing a gaffer-tape scowl.

 

[gavman]

Our old pal Brian Paddick has told the Daily Mail (the same paper that fucked his career!!) that bribes were paid in cash to top cops.

Rebekah Brooks head on a spike imminent. About fucking time. Enjoy jail!!

i reckon they know she's toxic, but areleaving it as long as possible before getting rid of her, so all the shit goes with her. right now she's the target, once she's gone cameron and murdoch are next. so she'll go at the last possible moment, and draw the most shit 'til then

Oh, absolutely not, of course. It's yet another day, where nobody, absolutely nobody, who actually has vested interest in keeping the status quo, nor anyone who knows-someone-who-knows-someone will have to make any personal sacrifices. Smoke and mirrors, as always. That's why I agree with pk's and others' earlier sentiment that this isn't over by a long shot until those at the top and their enablers and supporters will face what's coming to them.

Welcome to Urban, tfs. Quality posting so far.

Thngyouvrymuch Probably wouldn't have started posting for a while, but really feel very strongly about this, as I had a mate disappear some years ago, we all tried to get in touch for the five days until he was found dead, and just can't imagine how I would have felt if his voice mail had gone from "full" to "empty" and we had gotten our hopes up just to find out he was dead all the time and some scumbag arse had deleted his voice mail messages.

Sun journos have walked out - no Sun tommorow!!!! just on sky news

Yep. If they're going to offload, they'll do it when they think it's most advantageous - or when the law forces their hand.

 

[marty21]

Rumours of Coulson arrest - Disco Dave must be shitting bricks right now hopefully

Sun journos have walked out

hadn't heard that

 

[butchersapron]

It's some sun sub-editors, not journos. Doesn't ness mean no paper.

 

[Balbi]

Guardian

McMullan's a fucking embarrassment though.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

You reckon the journos can produce the paper without the subs? How many subs, do you know? No subeditors = no paper.

 

[Barking_Mad]

And still nowt from Brooks.

She's probably in a basement at Wapping wearing a gaffer-tape scowl.

Apparently she had to be escorted off the premises by security - some angry people about!

 

[8den]

Un-balloted strike action?

That's undemocratic, the mean hand of bullying sub-eds forcing other workers to miss out on fulfilling the important role as they cling to a faded dream of socialist doggrel. We should encourage readers mums to cover the sub-eds jobs for the duration of the action, and distribute media encouraging abuse and disregard for the very real fight they are facing.

THE SOCIALISTIC WORKSHY SCUM!

Fan fucking tastic

And welcome Thirty Foot Smurf. Have a hob nob, you owe dubversion a fiver, you're clearly not firky, and don't forget to tell Dwyer to fuck off, when you see him

 

[agricola]

What seems like a clever move by the Murdochs could seriously back-fire on them here.

This. For a start, you would think that it is now strongly in Coulsons interests to blab as long and as loudly as he possibly can tomorrow, since otherwise he is the fall guy (or rather one of the 200+ fall guys). Secondly, even if the Sun does go to a seven-day run, even the emotionless leeches who occupy employment positions there will have noticed how quickly the Sunday leeches were sacrificed to save Brooks, as well as this unannounced increase to their own working week. Finally, even the Sun / NOTW readership are not so stupid as to line up at newsagents next week, or the week after that, and hand over money for a paper (which will inevitably be of even lower quality than normal) as if nothing has happened.

I don't know how many.

More on the reports that subeditors at the Sun have walked out in protest at the sacking of colleagues on the News of the World. A source told the Guardian that some subs left their desk for 30 minutes but are now back at them.

Useless fucks

Wow a whole 30 minutes of solidarity.

I read about that earlier.

Nice that she's feeling some close-up heat.

Persona non grata at the fortress. I hope that continues. An extended period of gardening leave would give her time to absorb the news more engagingly than she's done so far.

Whereas, as the original Wapping dispute demonstrated, you can bodge together a paper with subs but no reporters.

worst. strike. ever.
