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

So, just me that'd bang the red haired one then?

I don't wish to see any changes in the law at all.

What I do demand is that the existing laws are prosecuted to the maximum. Anyone found guilty of illegally accessing mobiles, computers or whatever, should be prosecuted. Anyone found paying public officials for information should be prosecuted, as should the officials in receipt of such payments. By extension, any manager/editor/owner of anyone involved in such illegal activity should be equally or even more severely prosecuted for conspiracy, whether they were actively complicit or not - it should be up to them to exercise sufficient control.

The only mandated change I would like to see is the PCC taking a more robust line with sanctions against miscreant newspapers. If they refuse or prevaricate, they should be abandoned and the press should come under the remit of Offcom.

Oh, one last thing: Rupert Murdoch, his son, Rebekkah Brooks, Andy Coulson and Dominic Mohan should all be placed in public stocks and custard pies sold to the public for £5 each, the proceeds being shared between The Terrance Higgins Trust, The Prostitiutes Collective, Amnesty International and any other charity that has previously been villified by the Murdoch press.

When you say 'custard pies' you really mean 'house bricks dipped in shi[it[/i', right?

Can somebody just clear something up for me??

We know politicians are corrupt. We now know for certain (though we suspected for years anyway) that those looking to expose those corrupt politicians, are actually even more corrupt than those they wish to point the finger at.

Soooooooooo......Is democracy, a free press, and all the trimmings that go with it, actually a pile of garbage??

From an untrained eye's point of view, it all seems like one big racket, where everybody is in it for themselves??

And we want to foist all this on all those countries we like to invade and fight wars with, all on the premise that 'our system' is superior to theirs??...

Thats just about it.

But you missed off policemen too.

Aren't they young these days?

They've been young for years.

But it's still a little disconcerting when you feel obliged to escort a copper across the road because he doesn't appear capable of completing the task alone.

Its not so long ago when one of my mates, who joined the WYPolice in 1978, felt the same way about female police officers.

On a lighter note and in true Doris Stokes stylee, it appears that Rebekah Brooks's borrowed nag has now started tweeting [url=https://twitter.com/#!/RebekahsHorse@rebekahshorse[/url

It slipped under yesterday's radar a tad, but it takes the entire story to a whole new level.

[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17209375And James Murdoch has resigned from his position as chief executive at News International.[/url

Possibly tipped off he's about to get a knock on the door?

I assumed that Rebekah got the horse as she likes to impersonate Lady Godiva in her spare time. Is that not right?

That's certainly doing the rounds as a rumour. Presumably as opposed to the previous polite requests to attend a police station that were handed to a number of senior News International figures.

Excuse me while I poke out my mind's eye.

Still just me then?
