you're kidding right? please tell me your kidding!


your not a journalist by any chance?

There might be more revelations to come so maybe the full story's not even come out yet.

They've postponed their bid for BSkyB and it's being referfred to the Competiiton Commission, which I thiink might end up rubberstamping the deal!!

If one inquiry is presided over by a judge and witnesses would be questioned under oath, then the whole of the last Labour Government needs to be made to comply and give evidence of what it knew.

Where did the Sun get the informations regarding Gordon Brown's little boy.

It's beginning to look like they used the same dirty tactics as the News of the World.

The Government is to back a Labour call for Rupert Murdoch to withdraw his bid to fully takeover BSkyB.

MPs will vote on Wednesday on a motion "that it is in the public interest" for the bid to be shelved.

Seems like they found some balls at last to stand up to Murdoch & News Corp etc.

Murdoch (I think someone named him "digger" on the digitalspy forum ) is unlikely to give up now.
The BskyB share price has dropped and he can buy it cheaper than before.

Just seen the sky report on the Police been giving a grilling over by the committe on theitr role in the scandal.

One got got a bit irate!!

Well that's the Met Boys for you!!

sorry pal thats the most idiotic statement i have read in a while,.
it doesn't matter who's phone they hacked. they broke the law and should suffer the full weight of it.
the police cant tap your phone without good reason and even then they have to get a court order to do it. if the police cant tap yer phone illegally why should some private citizen or company.

what bugs me is that this complaint has been leveled at them numerous times b4 and its only because a royal was hacked that anything has been done about it.
prison should be the end result of this along with reparations to the victims.

due to the shite hitting the fan for murdoch and his cronnies (deservedly) they have decided to withdraw their bid for bskyb.
