This one is slightly off topic, [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17042982tax breaks for news papers?[/url

I'm personally of the opinion that is you are going to endorse candidates/parties then you should pay your taxes. Also, I'm sure those newspapers that extoll market forces will oppose this or am I just being naive?

By the same logic, tax breaks for breweries?

After my cheap holliday obviously

"Ministers must "think creatively" about offering tax breaks to newspapers to help them through a "difficult" time of falling sales and revenue, peers say."

That'll be tax breaks for everyone except administrators/liquidators then. It's not just papers that are having a hard time, "peers"!

Clearly not made Lords on the basis of intelligence

So, the Sun On Sunday.

Wow, right out of the blue, that one. And not at all exactly what every person in the UK knew and said they would do on the day they "closed down" NOTW.

Someone tweeted that "Rupert Murdoch has been deeply touched by the messages from family & friends, left on Whitney Houston's phone"

Like you, I was completely blind sided by this, the crafty Aussie git.

MacKenzie is an utter git. Second only to Littlejohn in the 'people you would never get tired of hitting with a cricket bat' stakes.

I'd be absolutely amazed if 'people who have paid public officials' didn't include him, his son and that awful red-haired bint at one stage or another.

Please don't forget Piers Morgan.

I had to laugh when someone on twitter gave an explanation of how to get your "a[ir[/isehole" name. Apparently all you have to do is substitute your 1st name with Piers and your 2nd name with Morgan. Voila!

Let's not leave the tool Clarkson out. Does he still lend his journalistic prowess to the Sun? W@nker!

Just when you thought Leveson might have got a bit boring, it emerges that the Met Police 'lent' Rebekah Brookes a police horse for a couple of years ...

I look forward to all those charities benefitting from the Church family's donating of their £600k settlement.

Given the family are so offended by what journalists did "in order to make money for a multinational newspaper" it would somewhat hypocritical to make more money than the average person earns in 20 years out if themselves, n'est pas?

You're missing the point: they [ineed[/i that £600k to repair the emotional damage they have suffered. Bless 'em.

Nothing repairs emotional damage like being able to buy your entire home town.

Damn you Coddy.
I had quite successfully forgotten Piers Morgan, I had put him completely out of my mind ... and there you go reminding me.
I'll get you for this.

I reckon it's a syrup.

To cover the nest of snakes that makes up her real 'hair', no doubt. If it's not a syrup, I dread to think what her snatch must be like.

Don't even go there, I bet it's got teeth. Mebbe that's why she ordered a child by a surrogate?

clutching at straws, a non story

Well indeed - absolutely nothing untoward in the relationships between the Met Police and one or two News International companies ...

Well half of the £600k is to be distributed to Sue, Grabbitt & Runne, a philanthropic legal firm

Did it first appear in the Sun?

Full of non-stories such as [url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/4159571/Whos-Wright-Jessica-and-Laurens-Twitter-fight.htmlthis[/url. Not interested in corruption when it might be one of their own, but two no-marks trading insults? Top story

Yes clearly this plus them socialising together alongside the PM doesn't in any way indicate a rather cosy and overly close relationship.



Obviously in your world unless there were pictures of the 'biscuit head' in bed with the chief of the Met there isn't a worry.

The rest of us however can see how it all looks rather corrupt!!

Clearly the Sun still don't get it do they.
I hope to god that leveson either closes the red tops or he makes their rules so tight that they have to actually report 'News'.
I know he can't do that BTW buy one can always hope
