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

Why? What are the rules of being allowed to post here?

Either post intelligently and critically and with a basic level of actual knowledge of whatever the hell you're purporting to offer your 'opinion' of?

Showing some idea of who the relevant issues and persons involved might be?

Try educating yourself on the subject first.

Them's great rules ....
 
I'll give you that, LLETSA (how on earth is the cleaner is meant to influence the chairman etc). Me were thinking more of the office worker type when it comes to corps, but yer right, corps is much more than office workers.



In most corporations, the office workers have no more power than the cleaners. To be able to search your conscience when it comes to what job you do is a middle class luxury, particularly in days of mass unemployment. I'm reminded of CND members who used to give me a hard time for going on CND demos but working on the shop floor in an arms factory. What the fuck was I supposed to do in 1981-82? Join hundreds of thousands of other kids on the dole for £13 a week?

I guess the "form" may be to argue against what you say there, but y'know, that's pretty spot on, to be honest.

I dunno, perhaps by trying to hit the right target, I could end up taking potshots at just about everything, if you see what I mean.....I guess you've sussed 'm a tad emotive about all this! :)
 
Interesting Newsnight.

They rekon camerons in serious shit and were asking wether murdoch empire is sinking - to witch their panel - William Shawcross (what a cunt), Alan Russthing from the graun, Rosie Boycott and (ex) political editor of the NOTW - pretty much answere 'could be/dunno'.

Rusbridger praised how murdoch has kept the Times going and agreed with Shawcross' praise for him keeping the Wall Street Journal open - despite them losing shed loads of money. But they dont seem to realise hes not doing this out of love - these papers buy him influence and power - which is what murdoch is all about.

Guns are training on James Murdoch as well - and yeah i think brooks is being kept in place to protect him - nothing else makes sense.
 
What are the chances of Rebekah Brooks being bumped? If she could link Murdoch senior to the shit then what are her chances without cutting a deal?

Journos will protect their own. Just listen to all the sentimental crap about honourable, innocent hacks at the NOTW who have lost their job.

This suddenly came to me (speculation time) - how much dirt does the Digger have on other hacks and editors in the UK? And would he be prepared to use it?
 
Interesting post KT, I haven't been watching Newsnight.

My immediate reaction when I heard about the 'NoTW to close' story earlier this eve (immedlately after I cheered and bought another pint that is :D :p) was to assume that Murdoch ws deliberately scuttling an already three quarters sunken ship, in order to salvage the rest of his empire ....
 
Just that in an industry there will be only so many jobs and its unlikely half the people there do it cos its their dream job ££ innit

Cheers for the reply. True also, to be fair (see also my reply to LLETSA who asked a similar question)
 
Upchuck/Annakey or whichever the fuck returning banned 'former' poster you happen to be.

its amazing how some people who have been here for years still fall for an obvious troll/returning poster again and again and again. elizabethofyork has been doing some top trolling over a number of topics for ages now, its so obvious even ive noticed it and im rubbish at spotting things
 
You seem to be saying that anyone who works for a corporation should take the blame for anything that corporation does.

What responsibility does a corporation have towards their workers? Why are you not angry at how the NOTW is shafting their workers to save the reputation/skins of their management?

You seem to be blaming the public for disapproving of the way this particular corporation works because the corporation is now doing the dirty on it's workers. What they are doing now, to the workers, is further evidence of the self-centred/preserving scum that they are.
