No Elfin, not for one second.

Its clear that the police were aware of the “hacking” of the Soham parents phones several years ago, same with the Bellfield case – someone took the decision to suppress that fact, and not to nail the people responsible. that person had to be at the highest level of the police, and too many people at various levels would have been aware of it for it not to be called into question, so that person cannot have taken the decision alone – given how sensitive it clearly was, do you honestly believe they would have risked their career, when the case was bound to be subject to the highest level of scrutiny – there is no way that there was not political sanction for that decision.

the real scandal here lies much, much deeper than Coulson and the police, and I cannot believe that people are falling for the bullshit smokescreen being put out that blames Brooks or Murdoch, for what was a very cosy relationship all round.

No Elfin, not for one second.

Ok then.

More fool you…

During the 12 years New Labour was having a veritable love Fest with News International

A veritable love Fest ? you come out with some bollocks Zulu-Eleven dontcha ?

Have you ever read the Sun ? In those 12 years barely a day passed without the Sun criticising, attacking, and slagging off the Labour government, Labour ministers, and the Labour Party in general. The usual stuff of course – political correctness gone mad, the EU, soft on criminals, treatment of Our Boys, incompetent ministers, human rights for terrorists, etc, etc. As well as more all-embracing issues such as the economy, taxation, immigration, education, etc.

Whilst at the same time needless to say, pouring praise onto Tory politicians.

This was published by the Sun in 2003 :

The Sun’s “support” for Labour amounted to just recommending to their readers that they should vote Labour at the general election, whilst they slagged off Labour on a Daily basis between general elections….. “love fest” LOL ! 😀

And it’s pretty damn obvious why Murdoch instructed the Sun’s editors to “support” Labour. Firstly they were going to win anyway and form a government – so why then, completely unnecessarily, make enemies out of them ? Do you think Murdoch is “stupid” ? And secondly it would leave the British Prime minister indebted to him. Yes, I’m sure New Labour did Murdoch many favours as a result, as well as let him influence policy.

In the case of the Times Murdoch has a much more hands-off approach towards its editorial content, as he does with the Wall Street Journal. Although he did directly interfere and force the Times to support the Iraq War against their better judgement – he does things like that.

Of course I suspect that you do indeed sometimes read the Sun Zulu-Eleven, when the intellectual challenge of reading Dan Hannan in the Telegraph gets a bit too much, and you were fully aware of the Sun’s hostility to the Labour governments of 1997-2010, and your “love fest” comment was just another example of you ignoring the inconvenient truth……..a practice which you are something of an expert at.
