I personally think that whatever happens Murdoch will come out of this smelling of roses, don't forget that he is one of the most powerful people on this planet, he tells us what we think... he has told us this is over and in 6 months time it will all be over.

The News of the World has been in existence for my entire life, I remember eating chips out of it when I was a kid. Then along came a foreigner and shut it down.

I used to drive an Austin Maxi. Then along came a foreigner and shut the plant down.

I'm not a fan, but I've watched Chelsea play many times. Then along came . . . . ?

Not yet he hasn't, but he could if he wanted to.

Yeah. I'd love to see him screwed over that.

If all of Murdoch is shut down, we'll be sitting at home without TV and without newspapers to read. Actually, it sounds like bliss.

There was much talk of it being called the Sunday Sun and I expect that would have been the preferred choice, however that's not possible as it has been a popular N.E.Sunday paper as long as I can recall.

As far as Joe Public is concerned Murdoch and his cronies have always smelt more of sewage than of roses, only now the stink is becoming almost unbearable.

The problem is that he still controls such a huge percentage of the UK media so all the powers that be will continue to treat him with undue respect.

Whilst there are numerous calls by MPs for various heads to be delivered on a plate, incl. some who probably didn't even know what was going on, I don't see any sign of either Cameron or Millipede launching a direct assault on Murdoch himself

No doubt with the power and control at his disposal, he could well hold both their destinies in his hands, and well they know it.

... and like sheep, in 6 months none of us will remember a thing...

Andy Coulson expected to be arrested tomorrow... and The Slapper? Probably a big fat bonus!

Surely some celebrations tonight, especially from all the people who have been exposed by NOW. Will be triples all round for the Countess of Wessex and Sarah Ferguson not to mention Prescott and many more whose name I have forgotten.

rugbymatt

I doubt the expected job losses will be celebrating tonight... and I also doubt the people planning to sue them will be...

HBG

Sounds like some really nice people will be celebtrating, Jacky.

I can't resist it, the whole affair seems to have taken over the UK, here's a link to make you think:

It's funny the Mail posting this story, in a year's time we should all know that they are no better than the News of the World.

Dick Dasterdly

It can't get any worse surely ?

It's obviously been one giant love-in with MPs of all parties, police, news staff and hired snoopers all in bed together.

Now the cats out the bag its tears and recriminations all round.

Ka Ora!

The whole group all the print productions are tied in this little fiasco. Shutting down the N.o.w is acceptable collateral damage at this stage "This is a planned event", As if everyone that was hacked decides to take legal action at potentially 400k a pop "as has been paid to Gordon Taylor" News Internationals wallet could start hurting. A judge would probably award lighter damages due to the wind down of N.o.w well thats what they are hoping. Personally I think they "N.I" should be barred from starting a new publication especially whilst under investigation in criminal proceedings.
