The general consensus seems to be that Rebekah was pulled by the police to aid both their and her cover up,.... meaning that now police proceeding have supposedly begun Rebekah has a good excuse for saying absolutely nowt of any significance to the MPs at tomorrows enquiry for fear of influencing any pending legal case.

Could be. On the other hand it could be the Met interfering so that she could not answer anything that implicates them.

Just a few investigations that were concluded by dubious methods (not all Murdoch's papers)

MP's expenses
Thalidomide
Scargill receiving payments from Gaddafi
MP's paid £1000 for asking a question in Parliament
Members of the royal family selling themselves
Labour Lords change laws for cash
world cup votes for sale
Many sports corruption scandals

Sure there are many more. If the MP's get their way There won't be any scoops like these.

I thought that was partly what I said.

Just coincidence that after all these years they choose to haul her in just two days before the MPs enquiry ?

I don't think.

By the way you could add Mendelson to your list,.... maybe half a dozen times or so,... the Teflon specialist methinks.

ISTR Scargill also got money from Russia as well

lets be honest, an in-depth investigation into corruption relating to Middle East military contracts is a little different to setting up people to make the headlines when its a quiet month.

I'm still not sure what was the worst part of the Mellor affair - that he was bonking a blond or that he was a Chelsea supporter.

Bonking a blonde whilst wearing his Chelsea strip, so the story goes.

Some peeps have no class at all.

I like Bo Jo. He's a lot brighter than most, he's a bit of a shagger, he can write, and he makes me laugh.

Actually there never were any great and good, just exploiters in fancy dress.

The next one to go should be Cameron, but he won't. There's one person who could force him out, easily, Clegg, but I don't think he's got the bottle for it.

Now I see that "Shadow Line" was a documentary.
Is it a coincidence that he lived on "Langley"?

Being a sad person, I watched it all today.

Rupert Murdoch said it all, a mumbling old man said it all:

I liked Maggie, so I get her into power. I didn't like Major so I got him out and got Blair in. I didn't like Brown, so I got Cameron in.

The power of one man and his hundreds of newspapers and TV channels.

I found it f*****g frightening.

Is it too much to hope that this will change things a bit ?
The Murdochs continued to pretend they knew nothing about the dodgy dealings until well after the event.
If they were so ignorant and distant as they claim from what was going on, it simply adds to the arguement that their company is far to big and needs to be broken up into properly managed and controlled smaller organisations.

Shame that guy didn't quite hit the target with his custard pie or whatever it was.
Imagine the superb effect of that picture on the front page of almost every major news rag throughout the World.

I love how everyone is still hungry for this, still desperate to get info, still screaming for details and an almost live feed if data!
