Been out of the loop for the last few days but just catching up with the news and the NOTW hacking scandal.
It now seems that both the head of the Met, Sir Paul Stevens and the acting head john Yeates have both resigned , possibly due to accepting gifts from those they were investigating and nepotism etc, but reported tonight hat the whistleblower, sean Hoare, has been found dead at his home.... Listening to questions with Theresa May today, it could be that Boris will fall under the spotlight. I wonder how much Teflon Call me Dave has lathered on at the moment. I also wonder how far up the NOTW chain of command the allegations will go....... Everyone at the top there must've known I also noticed the front page of the Sun today had a full page pic of.......wait for it.......Becks and his new baby 
ETA, while that twat Ed Milliband postulates about Camerons implications in all this....two weeks ago he was a guest at the News Intl summer garden party and was seen groveling to Rupert Murdoch |
| Furthermore, I think you can blame Murchoch's press for whipping-up the hysteria that followed in Britain after the school shooting in Scotland that led to the handgun ban - they probably even tapped the phones of the victims families back then. Murdoch's media relentlessly milked the tragedy purely for profit reasons alone and were the first to call for a ban, which Tony Blair and his hacks turned into a law and order issue at the time of an election for political gain; I don't know who is worse. Hasn't gun crime doubled in Britain since 1997? I have friends in Britain who haven't bought a Murdoch owned paper since. You can also blame Murdoch and his greedy ways for the distruction of a piece of your heritage, fox hunting. It's hysterical to think that Murdoch will become a victim, as the other tabloids and media vultures get to work, of the very thing he created. He deserves what he gets. |

I hope he loses the lot, the scum. I wasn,t a pistol shooter, but i "was"  a foxhunter, and as you say, Murdoch whipped up the labour idiots every chance he got.
I think this will rapidly escalate into one of the biggest shitstorms the world has ever seen. I also believe you guys will shortly have him by the short and curlies for hacking 9/11 victims, because you can guarantee the bastard did. |

I'm just enjoying watching the whole sordid affair unravel and watchin the bastards squirm as the try to find the best route to self preservation.
I find it ironic that Dead Millipede and his cronies are all braying for Camerons head because he is buddies with one of the villains, yet this whole bucket of faeces has been festering unchecked since it first came to light under the B'liar government. Bloody hypocrites and liars, the lot of them. Still, the UK media have had it coming for a long time. Their rabid and "couldn't give a toss" attitude to the reporting of "news scoops" and their methods of obtaining and sensationalising stories to feed to a dull unintelligent public has filled me with disgust for a long time. Doesn't stop people buying the papers though

Quoted: Quoted: You seem surprised......? Not really, just wonder how endemic it is. I miss the days of Thatch and Major when we had resignation after resignation for sleaze! That was most amusing This kind of thing has always gone on in one form or another.. Coppers taking brown envelopes, politicians sucking up to media magnates... 20 years ago nothing happened at the pace it does today (which I think magnifies the contempt in many ways)... I would bet that much more went undiscovered back then however many high profile heads rolled for stuff that did. Same shit, different decade
