The Sun 'walk out' lasted half an hour, Roadie. 
Seriously, do you not see the glaring inconsistency between your attitude to the June 30 strike and the line you've taken here...?

This makes massive sense. Murdoch keeps emphasising how they voluntarily handed over documents which criminalise a number of their staff, and no one has contradicted the 'voluntary' bit, so it had to be just the ships they were scuttling whilst the main fleet was hidden.
On other stuff ... the power that Murdoch gets from his print media is not mind control of the reasdership, it is the power to build or destroy reputations. It is not the direct implantation of bogus ideas but the unnoticeable drip drip drip of advertising that allows him to threaten, cajole and bribe his way to hoilding more power over those that run our lives than the Prime Minister has, because every PM since Thatcher has been in thrall to or in fear of him.
That's over now. His power has evaporated with the credibility of his methods. The scumminess, the ever-widening time-frame (we have 1987 to 2010ish now), James Murdoch in the frame for approving hush money (possibly in a criminal way).
The worms have turned. He is over. It is entirely reasonable to say that News International should be barred from operating on British soil or owning British media. That should be the next aim. Cameron will fall with his crutches, and then we can take out the Met and the Mail.

I know, but the fact it happened at all is interesting.

He probably got a fuckin pay rise with it, too!

Couldn't happen to a nicer newspaper editor, AFAIK. I'd heard that darling Rebekah possesses all the tact and charm of Hermann Goering in a dress (well, given his odd personal leanings, just typing ''all the tact and charm of Hermann Goering would still be appropriate) so I feel no regrets at displaying a certain schadenfreude at her imminent downfall.
I do, however, feel immense regret and stomach-churning nausea at sharing with you all the mental image of Hermann Goering mincing about in a ballgown and slingbacks. I therefore apologise most humbly and beg your forgiveness.

and he'll get another new job and pay rise after he serves more time for this one .

Hardly getting over it.
It's the effect that the loss of advertising on the paper (and on the relationship between manufacturer and paper which is part of the basis of the paper's "power") that'll have the most serious effect, not the loss of ad revenue. You can bet that the other tab sundays have already discounted their rates and paid court to the NOTW's withdrawers.

this has to impact on the 'fit and proper' test that OFCOM are due to announce - which i posted about earlier.
it's not very 'fit and proper' for executives at an organisation to attempt to subvert investigations in this fashion... plus all the other shit.

Playing the victim is India Knight's forte. She's made a sub-Polly Filla career out of "poor little me" columns. She wouldn't know real journalism if it gave her a rim-job.

Supposedly there are 5 or so test cases which have been selected which represent a variety of the types of cases that exist, and are being used to set legal precedent. Once they have passed through court and awards have been set it will open the floodgates for everyone else to sue. That is potentially hundreds of people looking at a near certain cash in

Yeah. I posted my contribution to the consultation exercise earlier. Might as well stick it up again, cos that's exactly the argument I made.

I read 'nowt' as 'notw', funny how they are becoming interchangeable.

He's no longer an MP, though, so he'd need to be found a seat before being in ANY position to take advantage, and too many of the Tory right still dislike him for his foreign surname and youthful experiments with homosexuality.

Server down.
YAY if this is true, no Sun tomorrow?
Nah, you can still publish without subs (if you dare), but the paper will look like some piece of sixth-form shit as a result, even taking into account the automatic subbing that the NI system is supposed to do (which is apparently shit, with the subbing ability of a ten-year old).

There was a call for submissions to force a delay. It took them three weeks to go through 40,000. They had 100,000 more by yesterday morning, so that's 7-8 weeks work before a declaration, hence the delay to September. If enough submissions came in after that, they could be waiting until next year, which gives even more time for this drama to unfold and influence the outcome.
Like all regulators, Ofcom are as good as they are forced to be by public pressure. This is just a tactic to keep that up. Decisive victories don't come without groundwork, and small victories matter.
