The story was first broken by Miles Goslett in The Oldie magazine in February and picked up in the blogsphere by Guido Fawkes and the BCC only, reluctantly, got involved after ITV broke the story on television in early October.

Isn't it it strange that if it wasn't for ITV broadcasting the 'Exposure' programme all of this would still be unknown, despite a couple of little known on-liners bringing up the story back in February. These sites, it would seem, journalists follow closely. We have effectively had 7 months worth of media blackout on the activities of JavaScript et al!

The proverbial hot potato that wasn't going to be touched by anyone in the media world, home or abroad. What a story for any journalist to break open, 'Savilegate' if you like, but with no editor of any media form, prepared to touch it. If it wasn't for ITV, JavaScript's activities would still remain unpublicised.

I'll not be surprised if there are folders and folders of evidence and testimony in fleet street offices either locked away or now in shreds. Editors and journalists now getting rid of the evidence that they, the papers, knew the full story but weren't prepared to expose JavaScript.

I guess that the information they may have had could have been gained as part of the hacking scandal, the one that closed down the NotW. Now who would want to expose that sort of activity, thereby risking their future!


I feel that there's a lot more to come out of this whole deep episode
