Bloody hell it's getting warm in here tonight!
Runs down to put kettle on and look for some good dunking biscuits then realises that the kids haven't gone back to school yet so the cupboards will be empty! Damn it.
Did she 'fail'? She obviously did by the moral standards of the general public, but since the organisation she worked for was completely complicit with everything that was going on her bosses probably thought that she did a great job so have re-hired her. In fact no probably about it, the fact they've re-hired her proves it.
This is where I think the press have lost it. They have become conceited and arrogant and think they are untouchable and can just treat people like crap, take a slap on the wrist and a fine from court, then carry on as if nothing happened.
But we, the general public, still buy our papers whilst whinging about the underhand tactics of the press. Maybe if we actually acted with conviction and stopped buying papers then they might start revising their behaviours.

Sums it up really. Remember when the Milly Dowler stuff came out and the pitchforks were sharpened, the torches lit? People in their thousands bombarding companies who advertised in the News of the World, saying they'd never buy their products again if they continued to support the evil buggers? NotW shut down, then brief pause, then "Sun on Sunday" launched and normal serice resumed....
Mind you, I remember the Daily Mail solemnly promising to never again publish paparazzi shots after Saint Diana died. That went well too, huh?
It's a free market, we get the press we deserve. Depressing.
When you say 'we the general public still buy our papers', i don't doubt for one minute, judging by the cogent arguments here, that anyone who has contributed to this thread buys a redtop.
Unfortunately there is a massive percentage of the public who do buy them, don't think for themselves, and will not bat an eyelid at her return to prominence. It makes me sad and angry in equal measure
I'll wager £50 Cameron gives her a Damehood in his exit honours list in 5 years time as he won't give a shit what anyone thinks.
Steve Bell hits the nail on the head again!

was thinking exactly that
bet milly dowlers parents will love that 🙁
I'm not sure people even care about anything anymore.
Everyone knows phone hacking took place at those papers, it made people's life hell and re-employing her just flips the middle finger to the Family's involved. But I don't think people care as long as they have cheap booze and benifit scrounging pensions too blame everything on.
It does seem some what in bad taste to have her back but as some have already mentioned it was expected. Given that phone hacking is not now at the top of the news agenda, is the Mirror Groups court cases settled yet? Not hearted anything in a while. Also what's happened to all the Leverson recommendations?
