Well... Monday. In context, this is, of course, a company in which NI has just a minority holding.

Did anyone just hear Cameron's news conference? He was proper shifty, really on the rack, it was cringing to listen to. The journo's kept asking him time and time again about his judgment on hiring Coulson and all he could say was 'we gave him another chance and he did a good job for us'.
One of the best things about Cameron is he's a terrible liar and everyone can spot it, pure car crash of a conference. Fortunatly we have a strong opposition who will be all over this and not a useless berk who has also employed an ex NI hack who's hands are no doubt covered in the same shit.

this must have been discussed as an option many times, whatever most people may think they can now hold up the sacrifice over and over again - we closed the country's biggest newspaper, what more do you want?
which makes me think this is power play, look what i can do - anyone else want some
its a gamble for sure, but not sure panic's the right word

That's pretty much the equivalent of sasafferato when he would have a go at anyone attacking the Tories by saying that Labour were no good, as if attacking the Tories automatically meant you were supporting Labour's position.

Well, unlike Coulson, Brooks didn't lie under oath. It'll take time... years.

What? No. Did you miss the 'middle-class luxury' bit. Address it directly if you want to make such stupid claims. What sorts of workers have these choices, lbj?
I agree with you, if there are plenty of vacancies that suit your skills and plenty of work that pays well enough to live. But, that's not everyone is it? That's a very fucking small proportion of the population, isn't it?
Middle-class lefties polishing their halos for doing what is easy and condemning less fortunate others for not doing what is impossible, as per fucking usual. Open your fucking eyes. Jesus.

Yes, you're right. She has bloody lied through her teeth though, pity that it wasn't under oath

Would it be better if he lied about his friendship?

As a casual student of drama, what I love about this is it's so much better than (even) the denouement in, say, State of Play - the final sequences of political dramas when handcuffs come out and the corrupt are caught in the flash of photo-journalists, being driven away in the back seat of police cars, looking doomed.
Real life is just so much better when it kicks off.....

Oh, and it's blindingly obvious that Elizabeth of York is not a troll, s/he's an astro-turfer - paid or unpaid, s/he's not here to chat shit or provoke people, s/he's here to push a party line. It's very, very obvious from the inconsistencies in views between threads.
I think s/he's useful to bring out arguments and evidence that would normally be taken as read, but there's really no point to mindless abuse, it just makes the counter-argument look as weak and pathetic as the propaganda line. IMO, obv.
S/he's a very useful idiot, so make best possible use of her/him, yeah?

It's happening now.
This is plot development on a scale and pace unseen since The Wire.

Those end-of-season montage's... We need a bit of Steve Earle at this point...

Perhaps you'd like to read my subsequent posts before jumping in. I'll tell you what sort of workers have choices - journalists who work for national tabloids. They haven't fallen into those positions as a result of a referral from the job centre. They have worked to get there. They have chosen getting there as their career choice.
Someone else not reading my posts properly.

It would be better if he admitted a gross error of judgement and resigned before going home to a waiting bottle of whiskey and a revolver. That, I would respect.

Senior ones, a lot - 50 grand plus. More junior ones, perhaps 30–40 grand.
Varies depending on experience and length of service. 50k plus, though.

No amount of cajolery...
i thought it'd be a lot, and i wasn't convinced by the "middle class lefties" bit of ymu's post in this context, i do have to say ... they must employ a lot more staff tho than just sub-editors etc tho ... and they'll also have freelancers, contractors etc i guess ... still sucks for the people losing their jobs though if they haven't done anything wrong - but i'm just not convinced that all of them are low paid and have no choices other than work there ...
obviously though, it's still completely out of order (and looks a bit mental!) that he's closed the paper in this manner ... and i do agree that the people who've lost their jobs will prob have some difficulty finding work in the forseeable future...
