I think Murdoch is regretting hiring David Cameron as PM !
personally Murdoch is reaping his own rewards after exposing these so called political figures to an audit and naming them as just the thieving bastards they are
it might go both ways if the pressure is kept up
seems to have quietened down and now both sides are keeping dangerously quiet
needs a proper investigation but if they are left to do it themselves its up for a complete travesty of justice
its like leaving them to cover the tracks and get into damage limitation mode once again
next election these questions should not be forgotten and transparacy of everything should be assured before
as to not let these guys have the denial and get away with this crap ever again
i have great faith in the people to open their eyes and see that fundamental wrongs perpetrated by the politicians and with no accountability in prominent posts walk away scot free
some take us to war under false pretences
yet others hump the secretary and get crucified by the press
wrong IMHO accountability is what these positions require
don't you think ?
Today is the Tomorrow you worried about yesterday ......Was it worth it ?
It looks like it was Max Mosley that put Murdock in trouble in revenge for the article about a nazi style ~~~~ by news of the screws by bank rolling phone hacking court cases .not the politicians who have suddenly changed sides and jumped on the lets get Murdock band wagon .
from the Telegraph july 28
Max Mosley, who won a privacy case against the News of the World after it exposed his sadomasochistic sex life, has been bankrolling a number of phone hacking cases against the newspaper in the civil courts.
Max Mosley has continued his campaign against the News of the World by providing financial backing to claimants whose mobile telephones may have been hacked by Glenn Mulcaire

Mr Mosley, former president of the FIA, the Formula 1 motorsport body, effectively went to war with the tabloid newspaper after an undercover reporter filmed him engaging in bizarre sexual practices. He sued the newspaper for breach of privacy, winning ?60,000 damages in 2008. It now appears he has also won a final battle, having watched the newspaper closed over the phone hacking saga.
Sources have confirmed that behind the scenes, Mr Mosley, 71, who is a multi-millionaire, has continued his campaign against the News of the World by providing financial backing to claimants whose mobile telephones may have been hacked by Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator working on behalf of the newspaper.
A source told The Sunday Telegraph yesterday: ?It?s true to say that Max has been funding a number of cases. Wealthy celebrities have not needed his assistance but there are a number of cases where the claimants do not have much money and could face losing a lot if News International were somehow to win some of those.
?He has been guaranteeing the court actions go ahead by putting money into an account so if somebody does lose a case against the News of the World, he will pay all the court costs. He has also paid court fees for things like lodging court papers which can be extremely costly.?
It means that claimants have been able to push cases all the way and obtain full disclosure from the news*paper group without risking massive legal costs. It is understood that Mr Mosley contacted lawyers working on cases, offering his financial support.
He was accused of engaging in a Nazi-style ~~~~ by the News of the World in 2008. The claim so incensed Mr Mosley, the son of the British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, that he pursued the case through the courts.
Mr Justice Eady found that the sex party did not have any Nazi overtones. The scale of the damages was a record for a privacy case, and in many ways set a benchmark for the phone hacking claims that have subsequently followed.
A spokesman for Mr Mosley refused to comment.
