News of the World phone hacking

[Legion2213]

Watched the proceedings today, the murdochs didn't come out of it too badly...especially Mrs Murdoch who reacted to the pie attack on Rupert like a total ninja tigres, she was completely awesome...unlike the attacker who was a total cock. As for people trying to embroil Cameron in this...desperate measures by folk who still can't accept that the British public told them to fuck right off in a democratic election a year ago. All this happened on Labours watch anyway...they should be careful what cans of worms they start opening...

Watched the proceedings today, the murdochs didn't come out of it too badly...especially Mrs Murdoch who reacted to the pie attack on Rupert like a total ninja tigres, she was completely awesome...unlike the attacker who was a total cock. As for people trying to embroil Cameron in this...desperate measures by folk who still can't accept that the British public told them to fuck right off in a democratic election a year ago. All this happened on Labours watch anyway...they should be careful what cans of worms they start opening... Well said, Sir. Plus - I found this particularly hilarious for it's overflowing amount of hypocrisy: http://conservativehome.blogs.com/le...-met-most.html Let's record for posterity that during his evidence to today's special meeting of the Culture and Media Select Committee Rupert Murdoch said: (a) The British politician he met most in recent years was Gordon Brown; (b) At those meetings Brown never once raised phone hacking; (c) Their children played together; (d) Their wives became friends; (e) Like Cameron, Brown preferred Mr Murdoch to enter 10 Downing Street by the back door. It puts all of that faux outrage from Brown, last week, in perspective. As for Jonnie Marbles - what a knob'ed - seems more like he's trying to boost his career (interesting that Newsnight all-but ignored him apparently, because in January Marbles appeared front-and-centre in a piece on UK Uncut ... that ill-informed, chips-on-shoulders, selectively-outraged, politically-extreme, so-called pressure group). I saw the clip and, regardless of who it is, or what is being lobbed at them, attacking an 80 year old man just isn't on. Such actions are the reserve of idiots and angry political extremists with whoppingly large chips on their shoulders - but one thing it did do was to show up the sheer hysteria that has grown around this issue, which is, quite frankly, gotten way beyond proportion. Fleet Street and politicians of certain companies and sides are attacking, but they're throwing stones from within their own very frail glass house. It's interesting to note that the News of the World used to have a circulation of 7 million, meanwhile The Guardian (aka "the Grauniad") is currently still falling in circulation at a measily 270,000 ... yet it's the so-called Guardianistas who claim to have the "progressive majority" ... when they're not only far, far, far from a majority by any definition, but they're also far, far, far from actually being progressive. So yeah - hysteria - being pushed by tribalistic nutters who seek to force their agenda on everyone else, while completely ignoring that nobody is clean - and in fact, those who protest so much, are the dirtiest of the lot, not only due to their actions, but also because of their rank hypocrisy and faux outrage. Meanwhile everyone else who worked at the NOTW have lost their jobs, the people who printed the NOTW have lost that contract, and then there's the myriad of problems facing the country right now - many of which have been built up over the last government's time in office, yet they just don't recognise it. Indeed, Labour specifically avoided having an inquiry into all this sort of thing because there was an election coming-up. It'll be interesting to see PMQ's at lunch time - Cameron should come out swinging (like he did last week) - and that's another thing. Last week there was a load of Labourites asking the same goddamned question regarding Andy Coulson (who still hasn't been convicted of anything), and Cameron answered it repeatedly in the fullest way possible ... it was just pathetic of the Labour back benchers (and even front benchers) who kept asking the same question to try and make him look bad (when it just makes them look nothing short of childish), when they'd already received a complete and full answer which couldn't be misinterpreted. It was clear as fuck. Yet no - the opposition want to play dirty politics (they're adept at that, what with Tom Baldwin - who still works for them - Damian McBride, Derek Draper, and Alistair-fucking-Campbell) rather than sort out a reprehensible mess for which they've been responsible for as much, if not more than, anyone else. /rant -- -------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ---------- Oh yeah, and another thing on that pie-flinger - apparently his girlfriend changed her profile, on Twitter or somesuch thing, to "Not funny.
