[killer b]

[butchersapron]

£dit: Interesting post on the Dave Courtney thread about south London villainy and its connections with the Met & NOTW, btw, if anyone's interested. Mad Frankie Fraser apparently had a view...

 

[sheothebudworths]

She offered to resign.

Once again I've got no links to it etc but jftr that seemed to be disputed later on, too (and I've not seen it confirmed since, either).

 

[Barking_Mad]

Fair play to the Guardian. For an essentially Labour paper that jumped ship and supported Clegg whilst being wishy washy liberal over lots of other stuff and having an array of shite columnists, it has dug up and kept pushing some proper news stories which without their tenacity would have quite possibly vanished and been forgotten about.

yeah, there's an awful lot of bullshit flying around. the other day, cameron had to beg rupe not to sack her, yesterday he sacrifices the NotW to save her and refuses her resignation?

i don't reckon either approach the truth...

POI: not essentially labour and never has been. Who would turn down these police leaked exposes? Who did the expenses scandal?

 

[London_Calling]

Expenses story was offered around and bought as a job lot on a CD. Investigation came later, that was the easy part.

Who bought it and who ran it?

 

[London_Calling]

You mean who offered the highest price? The paper it was worth the most to. Or even the paper that most wanted to control the story.

 

[butchersapron]

Yes, that's what i mean. I'd like to see your evidence on this btw.

 

[London_Calling]

On what?

Didn't it 'switch' from Labour to Lib Dem in the last election? Didn't it support Blair? Anyhow, it's record on proper news stories has been pretty good for a MSM paper.

 

[butchersapron]

On what?

That the expenses evidence was hawked around as a job lot to all the papers, that they all bid and the Telegraph got them because their bid was the highest.

You'd think so, but no - the Sun has supported labour more times than the guardian ever has.

This just appeared on Arsebook. May have already been posted. Too tired to check.

Couple of quick quotes from google:

The Telegraph has refused to disclose whether, and, if anything, how much it had paid for the information, which originated from the parliamentary fees office. The information had been offered to other newspaper organisations, for more than £150,000.[44][45] Shortly after the publication of the information, the House of Commons authorities asked the Metropolitan Police to investigate, a request that the Metropolitan Police declined, on the grounds that a prosecution would not be in the public interest.[43][46]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Parliamentary_expenses_scandal

Telegraph Media Group has neither confirmed nor denied whether it paid for the information on MPs' expenses. Estimates on a price tag have stretched from £70,000 to £300,000, although the payment is believed to be at the lower end of this range.

The info is out there if you want to search - Mrs Brooks of the NotW offered only £30,000 because there wasn't any sex in it. So they say....

What, the Guardian? Its record is fucking awful. It couldn't even oppose the Iraq war properly. Fucking shower of a paper. The Mirror has more campaigning backbone than the Guardian.

It's recent record is what i was referring to. The Mirror used to be a proper paper....

Can you tell me the difference between being hawked around and a bidding war? Your own articles suggest that no such thing happened. So they say...

 

[London_Calling]

What a bizarre thing to get hooked up on. It was very obviously both. And who cares. Really.

 

[butchersapron]

You think everyone bid? Everyone obviously bid? I bet those that didn't don't. You're, for once, right, it's just another pointless thing. I'm not sure why you brought it up.

 

[London_Calling]

I was correcting your misapprehension, in that generous way I have about me.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Just so I know:

Have the recordings I posted on the last page been posted already?

 

[temper_tantrum]

Clearly the News Shopper wasn't given a chance to bid

By saying something irrelevant and then having to row back on it. Thanks santa.

Enough

You're a final word merchant now?

 

[DRINK?]

I can't understand why everyone feels so sorry for the News of the World employees who've been sacked, they can go and claim those hundreds of thousands of pounds a year in benefits that they've been telling everyone about for the last 10 years.
