Thanks for that pretty depressing link.
It really is.
The leveson inquiry and conservative government turned out to be completely spineless, and ten years on we’ve reached a low point where trying to work out why the papers are saying what they are is more interesting than what they’ve got to say.
despite continuing to cost the “rest of us”.
The problem is, even if they did fund it themselves, it’s probably not the burly ex-SAS type stood on the doorstep that matters (or even represents the bulk of the expense), every c-list celebrity probably has one of those. It’s the fact he’s clearly a target for terrorism so he’s always going to be work for GCHQ etc. No amount of bleating that “we’re paying for it” is really going to alter that.
