FFS is there no end to the arrogance of Brooks, Coulson et al?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18961228

can't find a link for the quote referred to in the title, it was in the latest R4 bulletin tho.

In a statement, Mrs Brooks said: "I am not guilty of these charges. I did not authorise, nor was I aware of, phone hacking under my editorship.

Ah that's cleared things up. No need for a trial now.

Exactly. How very dare the DPP intervene?

They're all the bloody same. The arrogance is beyond belief. Didn't Bob Diamond recently refer to getting collared for [s]manipulating interest rates[/s] systemic fraud in his organisation, over a period of years as 'unfortunate'. Unfortunate?

Its because the lot of them have regarded themselves as untouchable for so bloody long. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

You'd think he'd be over the moon about being charged.

fair point Drac, it's probably the reporting that's getting my goat.

I think they are all genuinely shocked that;

A) they got found out

and

B) people might think that their behaviour might be not only morally wrong but also illegal

Bit of both Al desperate reporting to try and find a story with smugness of the parties involved.

it's the "Do you know who I am ?" syndrome.

[i] "Do you know who I am ?"[/i]

Some actor had an anecdote where he tried this after being approached by police whilst drunk and rowdy.

Policemans reponse was to turn to his colleague and say;

"We've got one here who can't remember his name, Sarge."
