All these types tend destroy themselves eventually, is this the moment when they overstepped the mark, I bloody well hope so. Maxwell springs to mind, where are they now !!!
Well done, Ernie. I knew this thread would get on-topic if it ran long enough. At the moment the public's wrath and indignation is aimed at the phone hacking scandal, which (we believe) is nothing much to do with Mosley. Mosley always suspected the ****rag was tipped off by someone in F1 with a grudge against him (form an orderly queue, gents). He is following his own course against the ****rag and the scum press generally in terms of a privacy law (which surely will be aided by the current furore) but I wonder if any of this has given him pause for thought... perhaps he was a victim of phone hacking. It'll be interesting to see if his name crops up in the 11,000 pages of Mulcaire's notes that the Criminal Squad have had in their possession for five years.
It is very concerning if the Police have taken no positive action on this given they have copious amounts of evidence, also they have been ****ing well paid by Murdoch, whoever has heard of the Police being illegally paid over £100k under such circumstances, I smell a huge pile of **** about to desend. And what the hell is Cameron doing using a Murdoch creature as one of his advisors, surely to God they are not all complicit, meaning we also have a bent PM Max must be lovin it !!!!! One of the Maxwell lads has since started and liquidated yet another company, he's now applying his business skills to property development, keep well clear of that then.
Since this government came into power its marketing department has spent £53k on advertisements in the ****rag. Not a staggeringly huge amount, perhaps, unless the government is trying to get the deficit under control by making swingeing cuts in public expenditure. In the Tommy Sheridan Perjury trial last December (when he was still David Cameron's Director of Communications) Andy Coulsen denied that his ****rag had ever paid officers in the Met for inside information. News International, as most people are now aware, has since handed over to the police investigation emails that confirm that Coulsen personally authorised such payments. The 11,000 pages of Glenn Mulcaire's notes include George Osborne's name and home telephone number. Some statistics from Big Brother Watch: Between 2007 and 2010 243 Police officers and staff received criminal convictions for breaching the Data Protection Act (DPA). 98 Police officers and staff had their employment terminated for breaching the DPA. 904 Police officers and staff were subjected to internal disciplinary procedures for breaching the DPA. The areas with the largest number of officers and Police staff who had their employment terminated for DPA breaches since 2007 were: Kent (10), Merseyside (7), West Midlands (7), Northumbria (6), Derbyshire (5) and Humberside (5). In Merseyside alone, 208 officers and Police staff received criminal convictions for breaching the DPA since 2007. The areas with the largest number of officers and Police staff subjected to internal disciplinary procedures for DPA breaches since 2007 were: Merseyside (208), West Midlands (83), Humberside (62), South Yorkshire (42), and Northumbria (39). Regarding Ernie's Avaaz petition: The Independent Voices 5x15 new feature, 'Hacked Off with Free Speech', will include a speech by Max Mosley. lol @: Andreas Whittam Smith's petition calling for an immediate public enquiry (which Cameron is still resisting) is here.
I fear they are more organised than we think and will be harder to stop due to them being able to utilise the incredible abilities of modern technologies to repress dissent and objections. Watch this documentary, shows how we are lied to by religion from the start, how it ties in to their ideals and current workings on world economics and their possible plans for the future [video=youtube;kRdNNQYQZmE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRdNNQYQZmE&feature=related[/video]
The News of the World is closing down after this weekend so there is at least one small happy outcome to this story.
Good news on one hand - it's a complete admission of guilt, which means, under Section 79, Coulson and Brooks will go to jail. Whether it'll reach as far as James Murdoch is another matter. On the other hand it's a completely hollow gesture. Criminals like Murdoch don't throw away a moneyspinner like NotW without a plan. It will be replaced very quickly by The Sun on Sunday or News of the iPad. The closure of the NotW is a cynical attempt to win sympathy and show that they are fit to run BSkyB. I wonder if Cameron will choose to see through the ruse or not. EDIT: thesunonsunday.co.uk and thesunonsunday.com domain names registered two days ago.
Well, closing down the NOTW is a start, now lets lobby to get rid of the Ginger despicable lying witch, who knows what next.
This white-haired dick on BBC News now blaming "the previous regime" is such a duplicitous bastard. He's trying to defend the integrity of the current NotW employees. Did they never read the rag before they applied for jobs there? Did they seriously not know the kind of cesspit they were climbing into? Nobhead. He and all current employees are 100% as guilty as Coulson, Brooks and Murdoch.
Would that include the cleaners and canteen staff as well? I'd agree in as far as the journalism/office roles go. But surely, if someone is just trying to put food on the table and make ends meet by emptying bins and hoovering carpets, they can't be held in the same league as the big guys?
Ancillary staff are shared between The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun and NotW. They won't be affected. Incidentally, none of the admin or journalism staff will be affected either, unless they want to take redundancy. They've all been asked to apply for jobs on the new The Sun On Sunday newspaper.
Is it normal procedure for police to inform people with 24 hours notice that they are going to arrest them?
Max Mosley on BBC News 24 now. He's reminded us that most other tabloids (e.g. The Daily Mail) behave in exactly the same way as NotW. Obviously The Sun does, too, so the new Sun On Sunday is just business as usual for News International.
