Title: NOTW - Scum
Post by: Just One More on July 05, 2011, 05:37:59 PM
I was about to post about this when Miss C posted this link to the petition to halt Murdoch in his tracks. Link is here  www.38degrees.org.uk (http://www.38degrees.org.uk)

Since I've been home tonight the news has been on about the NOTW hacking Milly Dowler's phone, and the phones of the families of the little girls that were murdered in Soham

I cannot believe the utter shit these journalists/editors etc are coming out with, "I wasn't aware", "I'm horrified", "I'm appalled", I'm shocked that this is happening in our industry". Fuck right off the lot of you. Lying bastards

More revelations and now there's a report of payments being made to the police by the paper.

The tabloid's owners have passed to the police e-mails which appear to show that payments were authorised by the then editor, Andy Coulson.

Seems like a good way to muddy the waters.

If they had these emails why not reveal it earlier? ....... Unless you decide to hang onto them "for future insurance".

How much more do they know but are holding back to use at some future date?

Dad used to delight in the old News of the World ~ back in the fifties when he relished their tales of clergymen (a breed he hated with a passion) being defrocked, scout masters and/or choir masters (all "bloody queers" ) being sacked, 'Bloody queers', particularly MPs and Members of the House of Lords (all "no better than I'd expect them to be") being fined for importuning in public toilets, Lawyers ( "Bloody crooks, the lot of 'em!'') being caught with their hands in the till and best of all, to be re-read again after tea, those stories which always ended with the reporters saying "At this point we made our excuses and left".

Thinking about it now he was typical of the working man of his era ... always ready to revel in the downfall of anyone who was perceived to "not have to work for a living". The NotW was his bible .... he always reckoned that he expected me to end up in their pages. Thus far I have avoided such a fate.
I must be a great disappointment to him, wherever he is now. confused:

It took me many years to understand where he was coming from and why he held such a grudge against so many..... but now I have done the research into the whole family tree, looked at his life and those of his parents and grandparents etc, I can see what made him what he was. Sadly I had to get right back to the 1500's to find a single land/home owner in his side of the family so his saying, when I bought my first house, "That's not for the likes of us son" was rooted in 400 years of paying rent to someone else. Small wonder he hated them all.

Probably his greatest joy was in reading tales of disaster, downfall and predicted gloom and despondency. A good bankruptcy case brought out the best in him.

When I married for the second time and we bought the first pub tenancy he produced a regular supply of clippings about failed landlords, court cases involving licensees being taken to court on various charges ranging from dirty kitchens to defrauding their breweries. Before going on holiday he would spend weeks looking through the Daily Mirror and the NotW to seek out tales of mishaps at whichever resort they were planning to visit. The internet would have been a real goldmine for him but he never lived to see it. noooo:

In Parliament today
Quote
David Cameron has promised to set up a public inquiry into phone hacking at the News of the World.

The UK prime minister said claims that the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had been hacked, with some messages deleted, were "disgusting".

But he told MPs an inquiry could not take place until police investigations were concluded.

Labour leader Ed Miliband said Mr Cameron was "out of touch" and an inquiry should be set up sooner.

The prime minister's spokeswoman told the BBC there could even be two inquiries into phone hacking - one into the police handling of the original investigation in the middle of the last decade, and one into the actions of the media.

Or, alternatively, there could be one all-encompassing inquiry, led by a judge.

Note what Milipede Jnr says
Labour leader Ed Miliband said Mr Cameron was "out of touch" and an inquiry should be set up sooner.

Is the Labour Leader completely stupid? Any fool can work out that a public enquiry at this stage will only hamper an ongoing police enquiry and probably prevent any subsequent criminal charges being brought to court. Fair enough to instigate a public enquiry if Inspector Knacker wasn't already on the job, from which a criminal investigation might well be deemed necessary, and certainly let's have one after Knacker has finished, made a report to the DPP and any charges arising have been through the courts. Such an enquiry would also be able to look at the alleged police involvement and bring into the open any police collusion with the media but at this time Cameron has the right of it.

yes, they can hardly talk can they - Guido has this...

    From: xxxx | Sent: 27 January 2011 To: xxxx
    Subject: Important: Phone hacking

    Dear all,

    Tom Baldwin has requested that any front bench spokespeople use the following line when questioned on phone hacking.

    BSkyB bid and phone tapping
    These issues should not be linked. One is a competition issue, the other an allegation of criminal activity.

    On BSkyB, we have been consistent in calling for fair play. We believe ministers should conduct themselves properly in what is a quasi-judicial process. We said Vince Cable showed he was incapable of behaving fairly towards News Corp. We have since raised questions about whether Jeremy Hunt can be fully impartial given his record of past statements. We do believe the bid should be referred to the Competition Commission and think Hunt should get on with it. Downing Street says that Cameron’s dinners with Murdoch will not affect Hunt’s judgement. We have to take them at their word.

    On phone hacking, we believe the police should thoroughly investigate all allegations. But this is not just an issue about News International. Almost every media organisation in the country may end up becoming embroiled in these allegations. This goes to the root of a wider problem in public life. MPs are taking a hard look at themselves in the mirror over expenses. It is time the media did so too over the way it conducts itself.

    Frontbench spokespeople who want to talk about their personal experiences of being tapped should make it clear they are doing just that – speaking from personal experience.

    We must guard against anything which appears to be attacking a particular newspaper group out of spite.

    Thanks,

    Labour Party Press Office

Shame on all of them....  noooo:

Spot on Uncle ~ although the Labour Party MP's mainly hated him they have never forgiven the Tories for, as they see it, forcing Alistair Campbell out. This is a game of tit for tat to them.
Let's not forget that Ms Brooks was once Ms Wade ~ wife of one of those thugs in Eastenders .... and both staunch Labour supporters.

Departing staff at the News of the World appear to have sent a parting message of disgust to former editor Rebekah Brooks in the crossword of the paper's final edition

Despite orders allegedly given from the top of News International to ensure to "ensure there were no libels or any hidden mocking messages of the chief executive", staff appear to have found a way of mocking Mrs Brooks one last time.

Among the clues in the paper's Quickie puzzle were: "Brook", "stink", "catastrope" and "digital protection".

The clues for the Cryptic Crossword seemed to cut even closer to the bone, with examples including: "criminal enterprise", "mix in prison", "string of recordings" and "will fear new security measure".
The clue for 24 Across - which reads "Woman stares wildly at calamity" - is thought to be a reference to a photograph of Mrs Brooks staring furiously from the window of a car as she left News International's Wapping headquarters following the announcement the News of the World was to be shut down.
The answer to the clue is not one she would appreciate: "disaster".

A source at the News of the World toldl that Mrs Brooks had ordered two loyal Sun journalists to comb the papers looking for tricks.
They said: "Rebekah tried everything to stop the staff having the last word and she utterly failed.
"She brought in two very senior Sun journalists to go though every line on every page with a fine tooth comb to ensure there were no libels or any hidden mocking messages of the chief executive.

"Following his operations, the commissioner stayed with his wife at Champneys Medical from Monday to Friday over a period of five weeks earlier this year where he underwent an extensive programme of hydro- and physiotherapy. This enabled him to return to work six weeks earlier than anticipated. As with many officers, the Met paid the intensive physiotherapy costs."

Rebekah Wade is mentioned 8 times, mostly in connection with meetings/lunches/dinners etc with Blair
Rupert Murdoch 30 times, mostly in connection with meetings/lunches/dinners etc with Blair

All this furious activity by Blair was to try to get the News Corps media to support NuLabour and then, having succeeded, to keep them "on-side".

Young Millipede would do well to remember, when he is busy trying to take a high moral stance on all this, that he was working as an advisor to G Brown at the time.

In an odd twist to the ongoing phone hacking saga, police are reportedly examining the contents of a bag said to belong to Charlie Brooks, the husband of former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks.

The bag, containing a computer, paperwork and phone, was allegedly found in a bin in an underground car park near the Brooks' Chelsea Harbour home on Monday afternoon, according to a Guardian report
