Will it get even mainstream coverage in the USA - it took a public service broadcaster, the independent, Trust-owned Guardian and a couple of campaigning politicians in the UK to overcome Murdoch’s hold…
No it doesn’t. I find the popularity of it and The Sun as a source of national shame.
It is also largely based around the obsession with celebrity, which is what they padded out the rest of the paper with when not being hideously offensive. And now we know they were breaking the law when doing it. Awesome.
What’s Rebekah Brook got on Murdoch? Murdoch’s “top priority” is Rebekah Brook apparently!
How long have they been fucking?
I know that someone’s already linked to it, but it has to be repeated:
She’s been there from the start; she doesn’t just know where the bodies are buried, she handed out the shovels Murdoch bought.
In a parting shot, departing NotW staff have a few cross words for Brooks…
George Michael’s twitter feed is interesting today http://twitter.com/#!/georgemichael
Murdoch wouldn’t hesitate to throw somebody he’d only been having sex with under the bus. This is much, much more than that. 
Apparently he’s considering selling the entirety of News International now - we’ll see how that goes, but he can’t keep selling off bits of his Corporate Empire™ forever.
So, rumours abound that Gordon Brown is going to make a statement in the Commons shortly, not about the NotW, but about the Sunday Times.
Also this Scotland Yard statement is couched in about the strongest language possible: http://content.met.police.uk/News/Statement-re-information-released-to-media/1260269218374/1257246745756
People are getting jailed over this.
Well, that was quite a session in the Commons. And guess what, our Prime Minister is a spineless coward! Things like this going on, he needs to be there, to command his majority. That session shouldn’t have been left to a subordinate.
RE: Spying on Brown when he was Prime Minister. Don’t we have Security Services for a reason? What were MI5 doing through all of this? How can it be that sensitive private information on the PM can fall into a journalist’s hands. Who else has access to this information?
Royal family as well
Was thinking about that. The fuck are MI5 doing, they should be on top of this, surely? The fucking Prime Minister’s dead baby daughter, and his disabled son? Their medical records? His bank accounts? The fuck? If any news org can stand that story up, and some think they can, then wow. Just wow.
He was Chancellor at the time.
Well that makes a lot of difference! 
Second Lord of the Treasury, national security etc?
Here’s the old reprobate Dennis Skinner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS3htJBdXDs&feature=youtu.be saying truth.
This story just keeps getting bigger. The extent of the corruption being revealed is staggering. I can’t wait for the next crop of revelations.
Factually speaking, and in terms of security, of course it’s a different order of magnitude. Hence there are no suggestions they tried the same with Blair.
Would it be presumptuous of me to add “yet” to the above?
Is that more like getting to the Vice President, the Secretary of State, or a lower cabinet position?
