Thats why I don't read the Guardian;) can be doing with pole dance polly

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

So what now for the sporting fraternity, what ever you say about the NOTW there football coverage was second to none. Well I won't be reading the Mirror, don't like the People, the Mails too heave for Sunday, forget the times and the telegraph and independent, so whats left, looks like the Sunday Sport:D

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Looks to me very much like the "Innocent" are paying fer the sins of the "Guilty":rolleyes:

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

I have read that Murdoch may sell all of his UK newspapers in the hope of preventing the BskyB bid from hitting the buffers.

There has to be something very unsavoury that is buried somewhere. Maybe the red head knows where it is, and has a JCB ready and waiting.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Precisely what I said in post 64 of this thread, cashman.

Somehow garinda turned it into a discussion of Nazi Germany and the gas chambers.

I'm still trying to work that one out! :):):):):confused:

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

...and I later posted that it's regretable if innocent people lose their jobs.

;)

Would I ever have worked for the News of the World?

No, I would not.

I detested the nasty little rag.

Choices.

Thanks for your contribution though.

American evangelist Harold Camping has confirmed that his earlier prophecy of the end of the world, which was due to fall on 21 May this year, was in fact intended to refer to the end of the News of the World...:D

Halleleujah!

Rev. Camping isn't a nutter after all...even if his dates were a bit off.

He is a prophet, that walks amongst us.

He should be canonised.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

To be honest out of all Prime Ministers Blair was the one that really did cosy up to Murdoch in realising that Labour could only win an election in this country with the Sun and NotW on their side.. Brown and Cameron simply tagged along accepting it as the norm but Brown should have realised that Murdoch was not interested in another Labour win in 2010.
Cameron seems to have thought Murdoch was his buddy when NI anounced they would be putting the full force behind the Tories in the last election.. Cameron has shown he is just as much a prat as Brown was! :D

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Blair prostituted himself.

Murdoch, the punter, could give him something he desired.

In this case his reward was power, rather than a few banknotes.

Must have got the taste for it.

Soon he was whoring Stateside, for a john named Bush.

;)

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Totally agree.. and at the same time accept that no political party can gain a majority at a general election in this country when they have the Sun,Times, Mail and the NotW agianst them...no chance ....alot has been said about voters using the internet to gain their political knowledge but it's all crap.. if the Sun is the only reference to politics for 20 million people in this country then it must have an influence on the electorate.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking

Have you signed the pledge, and stopped drinking? As you're making sense.

What happened to Class War's champion of the working man, the poor downtrodden sod who likes his news in bite sized chunks, sprinkled with nipples and bingo?

I'm sure someone must want the real Mancie back.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

would dispute 20 million mancie, many of them are too thick anyway.:D;) though yer points perfectly correct about the influence of the papers.

Well I don't suppose you will accept that just maybe I've been talking sense all the time.;)..

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Must happen, but has anyone been undecided about how to vote, then looked at a paper, seen the headline 'We're Backing Doo-dah', and decided to follow their lead?

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

think theres very few undecided come election day, wi the build up by the press fer their flavour of the day.:)

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

I don't imagine many people turning up at a voting station not knowing who or which party they will vote for..and I'd say if they are "undecided". they would have been influenced by the media..and News International are a massive source of news in this country.. as are the BBC ..but the BBC are monitored and regulated.. unlike NI.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

It was only six weeks prior to the General Election in 1997, that Blair got paid for his whoring, with the headline 'The Sun Backs Blair'.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

No, I wouldn't go that far.

Besides, I don't drink enough for that to happen.

:)

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Just been reading in "The Guardian" ... sorry Jaysay, I'll get around to the Mail after a couple more "Bombers" ... that News International, and others of the media, were involved in dodgey and downright illegal actions when prying into Gordon Brown's private life: his bank accounts, his medical records, the medical records of his sick childre, etc. It looks like this whole mess is about to get a lot deeper and smellier. If I held shares in News International right now, I wouldn't be posting this; I'd be on the phone to my broker:eek::D

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

No need to apologies Eric the Guardian is the loo paper of choice for lots of people. But its like I've always maintain a journalist is a journalist and anybody who actually thinks that this hacking scandal is only involves News International are living on cloud cuckoo land

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Here's a scoop for Accy Web.

On saturday night, after the NOTW put the paper to bed for the last time the staff retired to the Cape bar (previously mentioned in this thread). Three pieces of News International plastic were put behind the bar to cover the bill, which ran out above three grand.

One of those cards went missing and as of 1pm today has not been found.

So no honour or moral scrupals amongst the NOTW staff then, even to the very end.

You lot are the first to read of this.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Nice of you to find the time to post that...from the Seychelles.

:cool::D:cool:

understandable, poor owd Rupert needs the money to buy his 5 billion£ of shares back.:D:rolleyes:

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Eh! I was in Church over the weekend...I'm back in Wapping now, hearing all the stories. This last one I picked up at lunchtime, overhearing the conversation by a rather panicky NI girl and one of the barstaff there.

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Shame.

I'd pictured you joining in the fun at Rupert's free bar, whilst the hacks carried on their 'drinks all round' revenge.

Get round their quick, you might still be in time to claim a half, and some nuts.

:D

re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

I was in a bar in Wapping the last time Murdoch shut down one of his papers; the place got wrecked. That was back in the mid-nineties. I didn't particularly want to be in a similar place again, although saturday night all went peacefully & some chums of mine - with no connection to NI -drank free until 5am, all on Murdoch.

Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

Chief exec of News International Rebekah Brooks has resigned, at last she should have done that ages ago

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

She had to go once the revelations that Millie Dowler's phone had been hacked "on her watch" were made public. It's a shame it took her so long.

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

I heartily agree.......she has no scruples. I just hope we see her get her just desserts(and that they are not trifling, I know....I'll get my coat)

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

wonder where her new job will be .....

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

Editor of the Sun on Sunday?

Nanny to Cameron's children?

Elevated to the House of Lords.

Lady in Waiting to Kate?

Head of the Secret Service?

Deputy Leader of the Labour party?

:rolleyes:

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

I do know we don't have a Secret Service, but she is Bekah International.

Think the last one has it for me;)

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

Wonder if Ross Kemp will investigate her doings?:D:D

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

At the risk of sounding "hairist" am I the only person who thinks that Rebekah Brooks did herself no favours with her choice of hairstyle that makes her look like the wicked witch of the west?

A sensible bob might have made the public more willing to listen to her protestations of innocence.

And before we conclude that things couldnt get much lower, lets spare a thought for any poor ex NOTW executive who ever had a sleep over with Peter Mandelson.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

As was pointed out a couple of threads were discussing the same thing. To try and make it easier and clearer I have renamed this thread and merged the "Rebekah Brooks Resigns" thread into this one.

I will leave the Murdoch power thread as it is a different subject and not just about the News Of The World.

Hope this makes it easier to follow for those that asked.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

its just confused me,:confused: still if wanna be Ts serf, carry right on.:D

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

As the Corgi said to the Bishop.."how low can you go":D..but then we have news today that Dave Camerons chum Andy Coulson stayed a weekend at Chequers with the PM two months after he had resigned over his involvement in the hacking affair...seems Mr Cameron is just as thick in this particular jam as Blair and Brown.;)

Re: Rebekah Brooks resigns
 

Though it very funny on news today, they couldn't seem to find Mr Cameron to comment on the latest resignation, n bet they lifted loads of stones trying to find him.;)

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Seems the knives are out for Murdoch , the news from over here is the FBI is now investigating News International for 'phone-hacking' and bribery , bit of fuss being kicked up in Congress mostly by the left wing Obama lovers :eek:

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

So presumably the right wing Obama haters are comfortable with the alleged hacking of the phones of 9/11 victims? :confused::confused:

Rebekah Brooks has been arrested...............

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Hooray!
But I suppose she has enough money to get the loophole lawyer to get her off.

she dosnt need to worry her drinking buddy will smooth things over for her

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Somehow, I don't think he will.....he needs to be seen to be putting some distance between himself and the NI crew.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Now she's been arrested the Parliamentary Select Committee won't be able to question her(under oath?) on Tuesday.
Convenient? Possibly.
Interesting? Definately.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Doubt it Gordon, they will probably release her after 10/12 hrs like the others.:)

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Almost certainly, cashman, but any questions asked or answers given could be deemed to be interfereing with Police investigations. So the committee and Rebekah Brooks have now been gagged!

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

True they have probably been instructed to arrest her fer that purpose.:rolleyes:

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

This is what is known as

....................................conspiracy :rolleyes:

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Err...there is a difference between arrest and being formally charged. If the latter does not occur between now and when she is due to appear before the parliamentary committee, then MP's will be free to ask whatever they want.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

yep but on grounds it may prejudice the police inquiries, she will decline to answer no doubt.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

In that case she will be in contempt of parliament, so if they really want they can have her locked up there and then. My guess is that she has been arrested on suspicion of conspiring to undertake illegal activity (phone hacking or whatever under the relevant law) and as such she will be freed pending further enquiries. That means that however much she tries to wriggle out, the sub-judice rules do not apply.

Anyway, the next on the hit-list is Stevenson. Will he still be in post by tuesday? Or will it take till next weekend?

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

I would be amazed if that would happen, she must know too much.:eek:

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

lets face it there are plenty of ways Cameron can protect her without direct involvement .He can publicly condemn her and have minions carry out actions to shield her.

i doubt she will get so much as a slapped wrist by the end of all this and that those in power are hoping they can ride the storm merely appeasing the public until the fuss dies down and another story takes over.

like all scandals unless they happen very close to election day they soon get forgotten when it comes to election day

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

No. He resigned at 7.30 this evening............

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

told you its going to be our watergate;) we are seeing how serious it is david camerons silence is deafening..the next edition of private eye should be interesting

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Cameron's problem is that he inherited a situation where the News International executives had infiltrated the higher echelons of government through friendships with prime ministers, getting tacky invites to barbecues at each others houses and wangling "sleepovers" at Chequers.

The pictures of him kissing Rebekah Brooks on both cheeks at some dodgy looking party or other must now be giving him nightmares, because he was so blatantly manipulated, as were his predecessors Blair and Brown.

He just happened to be holding the parcel when the music stopped. We shouldn't necessarily blame him, as long as he continues to admit that the relationships had got too close and must be swept away.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

I think he might need to send her on a slow boat to our old penal colony down under to find enough distance.
My guess is that several high up politicians of all colours are not sleeping very well at the moment.
Will we ever know the truth why the police stopped investigating the case?
Did they found out some disturbing facts and were told to put the case to bed?

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Blimey! I know Sir Paul normally spends his weekends a couple of miles south of Accy...but does he read Accy Web, in disguise? Is he Bee? It seems more than a coincidence that two hours after my posting, he quits...

Watch this space.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

So whose fault is that? Reporters for trying to find out stories or the MP's etc that accepted all the free lunches or whatever?
Do you think this involves one media company or a few of them?

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

but the thing is he kept having andy coulson and co visiting at chequers when the scandal broke cameron must be waying up his options or hoping it will all blow over;)

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

It was implied yesterday on twitter, is your real name Marie :D:D:D

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

i wonder if theres anything in sarah browns book lol

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

There are faults on both sides. Reporters for trying to take an undemocratic part in the political process because of their perceived power in influencing the electorate, and politicians in believing that they have to accommodate the reporters if they want to win elections.

It probably does involve more news organisations, but hasn't the perception always been (rightly or wrongly) that the party that gets The Sun on its side will win the election?

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

How long before we see a current or ex PM being questioned by the police, if it has not happened already?

I like watching the BBC news, we might all have to get used to it as it might be all that's left.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Well, the question now is to what extent Sir Paul is the fall guy. At worse, I suspect he was just naive. It's the some of the second tier in the met who are the real guilty bastards. So will they be next on the list, or will it be Cameron?

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Well we keep being told that the police investigation must be allowed to go where its inquiries take it. Logically that could mean an investigation of what conversations took place between News International staff (Rebekah Brooks on one of her cosy sleepovers, Andy Coulson et al) and senior politicians, and how these could have influenced government decision making.

It is potentially absolute political dynamite, which is why it will probably be nipped in the bud somewhere along the way!

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Was there a cover up to protect MP's is the more interesting question?
The enquiry was ended when they had a lot more evidence, what did they find out then that made them stop looking?


OMG someone shoot me now, I sound like MargaretR

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

That is quite possible, the guy has gone cos hes accepting responsibility as head of the Met, even though he knew nowt about it,he says, Wonder if Cameron or the Murdochs will accept responsibility? Somehow i very much doubt it.:rolleyes:

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

I'm just reading the Yank papers - NYT, Washington Post - and they are splashing this stuff all over the place. It's displacing the main story, which is that of the Presy's debt ceiling. So I suspect this is now going to start hitting Murdoch where it really hurts, over in the good ol' U.S. of A.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

Why Cameron? The whole saga started in 2006 and nothing was done about it then. I'm afraid that the posturing by Milliband will wash with Labour supporters but will not wash the majority, which is not Labour.

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

well if yeh cant see that yer dafter n i thought.:rolleyes:

Re: News of the World Mobile Phone Hacking
 

this is the lead up to her arrest
Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.

The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.

The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of the prime minister David Cameron.

It is understood the bag was handed into security at around 3pm and that shortly afterwards, Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.

Instead, it is understood that the security guard called the police. In less than half an hour, two marked police cars and an unmarked forensics car are said to have arrived at the scene

Police are now examining CCTV footage taken in the car park to uncover who dropped the bag. Initial suspicions that there had been a break in at the Brooks' flat have been dismissed.


David Wilson, Charlie Brooks's official spokesman, told the Guardian that Charlie Brooks denies that the bag belonged to his wife. "Charlie has a bag which contains a laptop and papers which were private to him," said Wilson.

"They were nothing to do with Rebekah or the [phone-hacking] case."

Wilson said Charlie Brooks had left the bag with a friend who was returning it, but dropped it in the wrong part of the garage. When asked how the bag ended up in a bin he replied: "The suggestion is that a cleaner thought it was rubbish and put it in the bin." Wilson added: "Charlie was looking for it together with a couple of the building staff.

"Charlie was told it had gone to security, by which stage they [security] had already called the police to say they had found something.

"The police took it away. Charlie's lawyers got in touch with the police to say they could take a look at the computer but they'd see there was nothing relevant to them on it. He's expecting the stuff back forthwith."

Rebekah Brooks was arrested on Sunday under suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, and of corrupting police officers. She is due to appear before the Commons culture, media and sport select committee today on Tuesday afternoon.
