NOTW Hacking [spoiler]

getting a bit exciting now, poor sports turning the camera away, very poor

BBC rolling. ITN still off.

i did wonder who that fit bird doing the sharon stone leg thing in teh background was, turns out it was his wife!

Not only me then.

hero

Mrs Murdoch gave the assailant a swift-one round the fiz-og?

this is more sensational the notw ever was, because its actually true!

security need a kick in the balls over this tbh, and will probably generate sympathy for murdoch
also should in no way distract from the yates’ earlier revelation of pms office blatant efforts at protecting cameron, no wonder the man left the country

There’s some great TV footage waiting to be leaked. 😀

sneaking in a custard pie, that is impressive

it was a plate of shaving foam or spquirty cream. its hardly the crime of the century, unlike the one NI are accused of!

Cue the conspiracy theories – this guy was an NI stooge paid to disrupt the session just before Louise Bagshawe could come in with the killer question… 8)

She’s just married Peter Mensch, manager of Metalica.
Not though that’s relevant, but it’s my wiki nugget for the day.

Seems I was wrong – he’s a “comedian” called Johnnie Marbles. Even tweeted that he was going to do it. I would have thought they’d have done something to block phone signals in the room. It also looks as though people were tweeting questions to the committee unless it’s just a coincidence that members have been asking questions just after they’ve been raised on Twitter.

Laura Kuenesburg(sp) has made a seemingly valid observation that Ginger Brooks could avoid a lot of the questions due to her arrest.

1820:

A bit of breaking news now: Hacking suspect Neil Wallis may have provided “informal advice” to David Cameron’s communications chief Andy Coulson before the general election, the Conservative Party have said.

so does this mean they had info from labour mps hacked phones?

A fair chance I think

brooks is full of it
she claims she (and coulson) were closely involved and as editor had final say on milly dowler stories and at the same time was unaware that millys phone was hacked
yet the papers own stories at the time were talking about the contents of millys message box

edit now she says she was on holiday when that particular story was run thru and said coulson was in charge

They don’t seem to be taking toilet breaks, leaking MP’s bladders?

It was Pie Man!

Now I know what to buy her for Christmas

I have just been watching this from the visitors’ gallery. Cameron did not look worried at all. Milliband was much more effective than I expected after he got off his prepared speech. News international have not yet let their solicitors say what they know. I think they said there had been 40,000 phones hacked.

Aye – good performance from Cameron today. he is not out of the brown and sticky stuff yet but he did well.

Still would not deny discussing BskyB takeover with Brooks and still has some nasty stuff to deal with over Coulsons appointment

So the murdoch’s know nothing about phone hacking
Brooks knows nothing about phone hacking
Coulson knows nothing about phone hacking
Cameron knows nothing about coulson
And the met (bless em) know absolutely **** all about any of it!

Well I’m glad that’s a bit clearer.

Nicely summed up yoss.

i think yosarrian has the gist of it

One line mmissing, Yoss: witness that knew everything dead.

Apparently witness that knew everything wasn’t very reliable and might not have been prepared to testify in court.

Oh yeah I’d forgotten that one 🙂

It all smells shittier that shitty mcshit, the world’s shittiest smelling person.

shitty mcshit

🙂

Apparently witness that knew everything wasn’t very reliable and might not have been prepared to testify in court.

err..I wonder who decided that, the Met?, or one of the NI peeps? Well, in any case it doesn’t look like anyone wanted to take a chance.

You’re right Yoss, it stinks o’shit – no wonder Daveyboy has been hiding!

Who’s going to be found dead of natural causes in unsuspicious circumstances next do we think?

My money is on Coulson, he must be crapping himself at every creaking floorboard at the minute.

Would it be insensitive to see what odds William Hill are offering?

7-4 on at Ladbrokes

But of course he can rely on Dave to protect him,ROFPMSL.

After all,Dave knows the first rule of politics,no witnesses,no crime.

And it continues. James Murdoch has been dropped it by an ex editor of the NOTW and its top lawyer – accusing him of lying to the house of commons committee

Coulson got a lower level of vetting than the people before and after him in the post. The excuses simply do not ring true

Cameron now 8-1 to resign

This has got a lot of legs yet TJ. It’s going to run and run. This is when its starting to get interesting though. Its squeaky bum time. There is going to be prison time handed out for this. I expect this is the start of people who have so far held their nerve, starting to break ranks and accuse each other.

The ‘I’m not going down to protect you!” or the “**** it! If I’m going down, I’m taking you with me!” approach

Can’t wait personally 😀

Yup. Cameron must be shitting himself ‘cos while I doubt he has done anything criminal he has sure made some catestrophically bad errors of judgement adn if someone dobs him in he will have to go.

Didn’t vet coulson, didn’t know he was dirty as sin?

Tom Watson

When you signed off the Taylor payment, did you see or were you made aware of the full Neville email, the transcript of the hacked voicemail messages?”

To this James Murdoch answered:

“No, I was not aware of that at the time.”

In their statement, Myler and Crone claim:

“In fact, we did inform him of the ‘for Neville’ email which had been produced to us by Gordon Taylor’s lawyers.”

they informed him of the Email – they don’t claim he had seen it, or that he was aware of the full contents.

Very poor question by Tom Watson – Murdoch did not claim he was not aware of the existence of the email – he claimed he was not aware of and had not seen the full email transcript.

had Watson asked another question, he may have got another answer, but it seems Murdochs claim was technically correct, all down to the use of the word full by Watson

Yup. Cameron must be shitting himself ‘cos while I doubt he has done anything criminal he has sure made some catestrophically bad errors of judgement adn if someone dobs him in he will have to go.
Didn’t vet coulson, didn’t know he was dirty as sin?

Someone in Whitehall RIGHT NOW is being lined up to take one for the team. Cameron primed us for this the other day. An adviser or administrator will be brought forward as the person who failed to follow protocol and failed to inform the PM of the failure.

Cameron will survive this.

yossarian – Member

Cameron will survive this.

More than survive, he will prosper.

The police and press will undergo a politically motivated ‘cleansing’, the public will hail Dave as the person who cleaned up the press and any real investigative journalism will be harder as public perception of the press is now very poor.

A few sacrificial heads will roll, a few backs will be scratched and after the summer break the gravy train will still be leaving platform 1 with all seats in first class full…….

Camerons personal poll ratings have gone up through all this. Looks like his ‘doing a Blair’ strategy and disappearing off abroad seems to have worked

What that says about the gullibility and general intelligence of the Great British Public is frankly terrifying

Could he be any smugger? I suspect we may be about to find out
