Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
BBC News today says NOTW paid a Royal security guy for info on the Royals.
Did these reporters pay out of their own pockets or did someone higher up authorise the payments.

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
They were discussing this on the Andrew Marr show with Amanda Platell, and she pointed out that any payment over 100 had to be authorised by management.
I can just see the reporters paying for all that out of their own pockets, can't you?
We'll over look that it was common knowledge at the last enquiry that the NOTW paid police for info.....

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
it seems both sides knew about it but didnt do anything - so British
a hangover from when we used to make lots of axminster to brush under
IIRC this all blew up because one of the princes had a foot/leg problem no one outside tight circle knew about but was printed in NOTW
this will be a marathon

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
Now that the truth is coming out, it appears they've hacked the Queen and the Prime Minister, not just the News of the World, but the Sun and the Sunday Times too, with the Mail starting to get a mention. Therefore, all of them hacked all of them.
I suppose the British public first of all had the expenses scandal and now this; I can't think of anything left to surprise us. The cash for peerages was just a comic side show, already forgotten about; Christ, you can just about get equally cynical about Iraq.
Monty Python, that's what it is, I'm convinced of it, I can see the line of crosses all along Whitehall.
'Always look on the bright side,' the best advice I've ever had.

Re: Phone hacking hypocrisy
I see they have tried to undermine the police investigation by trying to discredit their investigation! Its quite funny how no one has noticed the damage this has done to BskyB's shares.... and who is to benefit from that?
