Should he turn up, maybe we could give him the same treatment as Mussolini, or worse, hang him by the goolies from the nearest lampost and declare a national holiday with appropriate celebrations.

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
unless it was in small print and I missed it - where is the Information (and Data Protection) Commissioner in all this ? ?
This has now been running for about 10 years, has been known about (if you have a secret don't tell anyone - it will no longer be a secret) by a larger and larger group of people but it has all been kept below the blanket.
Is there a "national security" reason for ignoring it ?
Rebecca Ward cannot be used to act as an investigator or mediator in this she is tainted.
Rupert Murdoch has been tainted for many years in different ways that haven't been revealed, is probably worse than Murdoch.

The rumour is, the NoTW will be closing and rebranding as a new newspaper ( possibly The Sun on Sunday) in the near future... It's alleged this has been planned long before the hacking allegations became public.

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
National Security, that's the firewall they'll be hiding behind. It has already been used to hide the truth behind the arms scandal involving at least one of our dear princes. But with the News of the World fighting for its life, they will release the explosive documents to the police and we'll be back to Yates lying to the House to protect National Security.
'Run along old chap, you don't need to know.' That's what they've always said.

James Murdoch says that this sunday will be the last edition of the News of the World.
The Sun will go to a sunday edition
seems the Murdoch family are not very happy that they have been told lies by the NoW management

Makes him 900 million against the 6 or so billion he makes elsewhere, seems a clever little piece of damage limitation as some advertisers were threatening to pull out of Sky... now the Gov have decided to delay the decision on BskyB...

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
A sudden and ignominious end to a famous and popular 168 yr old rag which obviously for the greater good of future profit margins elsewhere has been consigned to history.
Out of sight, out of mind,..... I don't think.
Little doubt he's hoping to carry on as normal once the dust dies down, but
hopefully the heat will now be turned up on his other rags as well as the goose that lays the golden egg, his Sat TV empire.

I don't think Murdoch had an alternative and I bet the shredders are working at full speed. The trouble is - you can't shred the servers, but I suppose you could blow them up?
