Murdoch / News International - a threat to British Democracy

[Santa_Claus]

If Milly had been my kid and Murdoch had pretended she was still alive (to simply sell a few more newspapers ) I would kill him. period.

Of course the Milly thing is only part of the Murdoch story - nothing will happen of course from the Govt (apart from warm words and hand wringing) because the Murdoch files are more extensive than those kept by J. Edgar Hoover.

I think while we have laws ensuring unbiased TV and the fact he is giving up Sky News is some comfort. Question is how much damage can papers do?

I think this is grounds for taking the empire off him and giving it to someone else to run.

Although the NoTW should be closed down for good.

It's a disgusting rag.

NotW circulation - 2.6 million - they should all be deported to Pitcairn Island

You are, of course, referring to the "first against the wall" list.

Lets not limit our options. Do we really need a wall?

As despicable as all this shit is, everyone seems to be forgetting one thing. Someone gave them that number in the first place. I'm assuming it was likely not the family, at the time it was nigh on impossible to find someone's mobile number even if registered, which most were not. Thus it is likely to be either a "friend" of the family or one of the Police involved.

It's possible they could have got it via other methods like searching through the rubbish for phone bills. It's supposedly common enough for ID fraudsters to do that.

Far too much actually.

You really want to deport that many people to a place where inhabitants are known to breed like rabbits?
With that kind of a population base, inbreeding would be less of a problem than for the previous bunch, but that many morons in close proximity cannot be a good thing.

This is an interesting blog from Peter Oborne at the Torygraph, basically confirm the NI is a threat to democracy

I would like to apologise on behalf of Australia...

[Svartalf]

I love how that article says that before the NI incident, mr cameron was "well grounded with a decent set of values".
As a long standing politician in a party that has share power for so long, I can't see how that's factually possible, even if he managed to deceive the general public and to project such an image.

Murdoch is a long standing major supporter of the tories, both in his news organs and by direct financial contribution, of course the top tories are close to him and the top dogs in his kennel.

The only apology acceptable would be if you fed him to the crocs.
