It seems the decision to close the NotW hasn’t quite stopped the advertising rout. Renault has announced that they’re removing all advertisements from every NI publication.
Daaamn…
“The end of the World”? Shoot! That means that the doomsday preacher was correct all along!
It is a pity that there will be no new “The Daily Show” until next week. We need the commentary of John Oliver.
Good.

I hope this one isn’t true and/or the data is recoverable - as the truth may never come out.
Brian Paddick - ex chief of the Met (Meteropolitan Police for you US types) is saying this
“If Andy Coulson has been arrested, it is inevitable that Rebekah Brooks will get an invitation from the police that she can not refuse.”
Please let it be so …
Is there any chance we could work a missing white woman into this as well, so that we might be able to take out Nancy Grace at the same time?
I work with a lot of British journalists*, and I can tell you that he could have come straight from central casting. 
- in a building that is rather emptier than it was two days ago.
Could you offer some kind of summary as to what’s behind that link, please?
That’s my point! He looks like an actor cast for a role as opposed to a real person.
Huge respect to the Members of Parliament Chris Bryant and Tom Watson, and the journalists Nick Davies and Amelia Hill. The four of them have done their jobs really, really well.
Colophon, you tease!
is there anything you can tell us as an insider?
Oh Piers! self-awareness and irony have never been your strong point have they?
There is a reason that Stephen Fry defines the word “countryside” as “the killing of Piers Morgan”
Ann Leslie of the Daily Mail said this afternoon on BBC news that Brooks turned down the MP’s expenses story because she thought “there wasn’t enough sex in it”. So it went to the Telegraph instead.
Sure. Opening two paragraphs follow:
Police are investigating evidence that a News International executive may have deleted millions of emails from an internal archive, in an apparent attempt to obstruct Scotland Yard’s inquiry into the phone-hacking scandal.
The archive is believed to have reached back to January 2005 revealing daily contact between News of the World editors, reporters and outsiders, including private investigators. The messages are potentially highly valuable both for the police and for the numerous public figures who are suing News International.
What, they don’t say “assisting the police in their investigations…” any more?
Disappointing.
I think if I were the police I wouldn’t bother asking questions, I’d just sit across the desk from him with my arms folded, smirking at him, savouring the moment.
The correct term is (or was) “Assisting the police in their enquiries”.
All those disgruntled, newly jobless workers…
Andy Coulson is bailed until October.
Maybe at last some of the purveyors of smut will begin to understand what the word recession means, maybe even have some empathy for swathes of the Northern industrialised areas that are now considered to be irrelevant in the ‘knowledge economy’ by Southern bastards.
Am I the only one thinking there was a nefarious coffee shop exchange between Rebekah Brooks and Rupert Murdoch that began with, “Make no mistake Rupert, if I burn, so will you.”
