News of the World to close amid hacking scandal

[cablefreejunkie]

i was listening to various radio phone ins today and all were saying there pieces etc etc including the presenters of the said shows,,but not once and i repeat once was rupert murdochs name ever mentioned
that koont has so much power over media/politics/goverment its unreal
he should be strung up for all of this,,,but cameron koont who had meetings with him before the election as do all future prime ministers knows which side his bread is buttered
the tories are so in bed with murdochs empire it makes me puke
and now all that koont cameron can say is i have launched two seperate enquiries
enquiries are designed to make the general public feel like they are actually doing something about the problem at hand
do me a ~~~~in favour !!!! and the crazy thing is most people think an enquiry brings everything to light and everyone accountable !!!!
couldnt be further from the truth
all the enquiry is designed to do is keep you the public thinking that the koont goverment are acting on youre behalf
every ~~~~in enquiry is led by one of there oxbridge educated chums !!! how the ~~~~ will they find there chums at fault
the whole ~~~~in system stinks
WAKE UP BRITIAN

Stand by for a whole pile of Newspapers coming out of the woodwork and being found to be just as bad as the News of the World. One of the perks of employing humans I'm afraid.

Closing the News of the World is an attempt to put the scandal in the past and smooth the approval process for BSkyB, I recon.

Mr Murdoch?s is so rich that in the next few months I will not hesitate to mention, but he will be called Sir Rupert Murdoch?s???????

This has closed one paper - could it possibly bring down the government?

Speaking to a few MP's and reading between the lines it definitely has the potential to. There will be lots of too'ing and fro;ing between the libs and torys over the issue of the government stepping in and stopping the takeover.

Did anyone also notice that the Sunday Mirrors has hardly touched on the subject of Phone Hacking - is it because revelations will come out about them soon ---- I think so!!!!!!

[gopher7]

They're all running scared now.

Today was last day was it not, I really really hope no one bought one, that would have been the bigest kick in the booolax for them

I suspect the problem will be found to be endemic to Journalists of all media types, not just Newspapers !

[pj81worcs]

They will probably get the bskyb deal sorted and release the news of the world under a different name

NOTW makes far too much money for them to just give up on it now, something else will replace it, maybe they'll just have a bit more sense than to try to go one better than the police when it comes to missing murder victims.

It makes you wonder why Cameron has dived under a rock and refuses to answer questions in the commons about this after all he gave a job to one of the koonts (Andy Coulson ) and is friends with the other one (Rebekah Brooks ). Perhaps he will come out from his rock when it?s all calmed down. think he shoud be told to ~~~~ off.

Well.... Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has resigned following the phone hacking scandal.

Maily due to critism over the hiring of ex News of the World executive, Neil Wallis (who was sacked by notw in the first phone hacking scandall) as an advisor to the public affairs and special operations dept. (who lead the inquiry into the scandall that got him sacked in the first place) and paid him 24k to work 2 days per month.. but of course, that was all above board.. resigning Paul Stephenson has made it very clear how his integrity is still very-much intact.

Other news : Garry Glitter has been hired as a government advisor for child protection services.

Mr Hoare - a journalist found dead... Shocking... How dark is Mr Murdochs secrets......

Not looking good????..
How is all this coming to an end,
maybe you have the answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Snowy79]

I wonder how many Hypocrates will now cancel their Sky packages. My bets on none.

[flyingpig]

I wont cancel mine..

I wonder what tomorrow will bring with this? Will Ed Milliband and a few others turn the screw on Cameron? They could easily make this awkward for him. Nick Clegg has admitted to opposing the appointment, so have other members of the Con/Dem coalition. The Police Commisioner has resigned for employing hte deputy editor, so surely Camerons position should be considered as he employed the editor..
