My axe to grind is not with what Murdoch has been doing blatantly for the last 20 years but I do have an axe to grind with some of the individuals on this forum.
When this section of the forum was first set up I thought that it was a breath of fresh air with sensible moderation. Now it seems that it is a case of “pick and choose”.
I have known ernieBecc and communicated with him for many years under a variety of user names. Therefore, I have no problem with his article.
I do have a problem with the direction that this forum appears to me to be going in.
You seem to be obsessed with building your own clique of people that agree with each other.
I am sure that if I had written this article you would have looked at my user name and deleted it immediately on the grounds that it was off topic.
Indeed - they'll need to be quick. NotW staff have said NI security personnel have started removing things from their offices, supposedly to prevent looting.
Evidence going missing, well how convenient, computers, servers destroyed, what the **** are the police and the fraud squad doing, Cameron is a complicit ****.
No doubt, yet in his press conference he bleated about WMD reports and Ecclestone's donations instead of answering for himself and his own party. It's very worrying when a PM behaves like a child.Cameron is a complicit ****.
@ Max Whiplash
I have been reading private eye for the last 13 years so I know what labour have done, **** things up and yet again let others clean up their mess.

You have to wonder to what lengths the relationship between NI (Coulsen) and the Tories (Cameron) enabled information gathering before the election.
On another point, it's alleged that phone hacking was still practiced at NI as late as 2009.
Absolutely - they all have the same personal objectives and that crushes any sense of public service in all of them. Not many of them have hired someone like Coulson, though, despite being warned of his complicity in illegal activities, to be Director of Communications. In fact it amounts to, oh... one of them, I think. Fortunately Cameron unequivocally accepted full responsibility for putting Coulson in a position of immense power at the heart of the government of this country so if Coulson is convicted of crimes perpetrated before Cameron employed him that he was warned about then obviously Cameron will have to resign. His judgement will be in such doubt that his position will be completely untenable. All governments make mistakes but it was just very sad to see the current Prime Minister flailing and lashing out at utterly irrelevant mistakes made by the previous government instead of answering for the current government. Perhaps Cameron's just in awe of George Osborne and the high life he leads.Not sure though that there is a fundamental idealistic difference between any political party nowadays, they are to me, mostly only there for self interest and self gain.

I think there could be some type of mini-revolution. If Murdoch gets Sky then I'm sure there'll be street protests.
What's incredible is that people are only just waking up to the fact that, for the past 30 years, this country has been a dictatorship.
Comon guy's lets get mobilised.
