The Who/what/when/where/how and then only if possible go to the why. Agreed. But much of the "news" with dubious revelations about famous people and gossip about them is what sells them. Without Rebekah Crooks and the criminals she employed the "news" papers would have been boring, and just what else on Sunday is there to look forward to now that the News of the World is gone? flam ing balloons ID: 1127836 ·

It is always about an agenda. The agenda is always the same too. Make piles of money any way possible, legal or illegal (just don't get caught). It is called fiduciary duty. ID: 1127849 ·

Murdoch runs public apology across the whole national press. Today's report begs two immediate questions 1. Is this sincere, or as Lord Prescott suggests, a desperate move to save his company, or a bit of both? 2. PM Blair's guest list at chequers is interesting reading, I wonder what will come of that? Murdoch says we will hear more from him in the coming days. It wouldn't surprise me if a charitable trust or something similar was set up somewhere. If so would it be seen as tainted money, or gratefully received? Murdoch apology Any cold arrogant criminal will not admit wrong until they are caught red handed and "have" to say sorry to try and avioid the full punishment of the law. I am not saying that Murdock or his team are cold or criminals, but they certainly know how go about damage limitation. Question is, will we all fall for the sobbing from them and forget how they ignored the sobbing of their victims? flam ing balloons ID: 1128255 ·

He worked from home and gave strategic communications advice. He won the contract competitively against two other firms, although he was cleared for the job in 2009 three months after Yates had decided not to reopen a fresh inquiry into allegations of phone tapping. Sir Paul has dined with Wallis on at least eight occasions since 2006, according to official records. Yates has admitted knowing him for 12 years. Oh dear, don't like the way this all reads!! Just how far is this all going to go? Has all the similarities to that of the unraveling a spy web, us Brits used to be good at doing that....lets see how well we get on with untangling this mess! Press censorship, thank God no!...Would have to put up with Berlusconi coming over here....and you know what I mean?? ID: 1129460 ·

Concerning, especially considering the political nature of those involved. Raises my eyebrows too... Too coincidental. It seems that some people are indeed seeing nothing but instead concentrating on the Prime Minister losing his 2 most senior police officers and seeing his friend Rebekah Crooks arrested. The firestorm is reaching the steps of Number 10. flam ing balloons ID: 1129810 ·

Just a few days a he was as sharp as he ever was, eg, saying that his prime concern was Rebekha Brooks. He didn't suddenly get dementia today. I think he was terrified of saying the wrong thing and desperatley trying to think of what to say to get him out of dire straights in those long pauses. flam ing balloons ID: 1129825 ·
