ooooh goody, Coulson's up today, that should prove either enlightening or be another exercise in obfuscation and bluster.

Meanwhile, talking of obfuscation: [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/interactive/2012/may/09/andy-coulson-freedom-of-information-documentDid Coulson attend meetings for which he didn't have security clearance?[/url

Quelle effin surprise. Coulson afflicted by Wapping Amnesia Syndrome

No shock there... they're as corrupt as hell, they just think we're too stupid to see it.

If I heard correctly, the security clearacne he had, allowed him to attend "a few" meetings that he didn't have clerance for.

It's the ginger minger tomorrow. Waste of time. They got nowt out of her first time round and I can't see any difference this time round.

Security clearance is an odd thing, you can be cleared to a high level, but then some codeword stuff is restricted to certain people at the same level.

It appears Coulson had a certain level of clearance that allowed occasional access to more high level stuff, but given the job he was doing, he should have been put through the higher level process. I read he had to go to regular meetings on classified issues (and as with A Campbell I'd dispute that he did) so he then needed the higher level. In my opinion.

The word on the scuttlebutt is that he wasn't presented for higher level clearance because they knew he wouldn't be approved

Didn't she appear before a Parliamentary committee and admit quite openly that they'd paid police?

Hopefully, Jay will get beneath all the prep she's bound to have done.

I haven't been overly impressed with Jay. Apart from the huh-hah thrown up by Hunts special advisers e-mails I don't think Leveson has got anywhere fast. All the political commentators get in a lather before some of the main players give evidence, hoping that a can of worms is about to be opened, but it aint gonna happen. Brooks will be dismissive today, same as the rest of the corrupt barstewards have been.

Did she turn up on this police horse?

Nothing surprising there then. Brooks and NI were firmly in Phoney Tonys camp during the Blair/Brown War. It's amazing that the Chancellor ever usurped the then incumbent. Mind Gordon did come from a Scottish socialist background as opposed to Phoneys dad being a Tory councillor.

Did anyone else get the feeling that DC and the ginger one were a bit on the 'very close' side?

LOL

On his BBC blog, Nick Robinson is still peddling the myth that Cameron and Charlie Brooks are old school chums. FFS there's four years between them, it's bloody unlikely they even knew of each other at Eton, let alone were "chums".

I went to the same school as William Wilberforce but I'd never say we were schoolmates

Yes, but he went a few years after you did.

This is Eton we're speaking of, which one is the elder ?

A four year difference would mean that the youngest as a first form boy would have been the others (fifth form) fag - so who was holding whom up against the coal fire for its entertainment value ?

Brooks is older than Cameron, so no wonder Dave always defers to him then

FSCK leveson and prejudice. I can here and now reveal for the first time anywhere that Call me Dave and the fragrant Rebekah have a love child

She, her husband and others will find out if they are to face charges of perverting the course of justice.

There will be no charges on the perverting the course of justice charge unless they found a smoking laptop and she'll get charged with interception of communications and bribing a police office both of which are far less serious. She still has some friends in very high places and the tories are still scared stiff of murdoch.

At times like this you have to wonder what was in the bin bag pull of paper and laptop her hubby was caught dumping in a underground car park.

Tend to agree, but hope we're wrong

The very last place most of the political establishment want to see Brooks is in a courtroom dock. I wouldn't rule out some "accident" if charges are brought.

Like falling off an old police horse?
