Methinks the Mail doth protest a little too much.

Except the problem is not phone hacking now, but corrupt officials.

to be fair the daily mail is actually leading on the stephenson resignation, and one of those links is a ~maverick~ opinion piece

ok, that is true. Sorry, Daily Mail.

Who knew the Daily Mail would support the Orange Order and other loyalists in the recent disturbances? I need to remember never to read more of the DM than I have to...

Interesting interview with Watson:

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link
Even though the News of the World has been closed, the BSkyB takeover bid withdrawn, and Rupert Murdoch has promised to co-operate with the judicial inquiries, the bloodlust – orchestrated by a vastly subsidised BBC – continues.

The state records our emails, spies on our rubbish bins and uses airport X-ray machines to peer sneakily at our naked bodies.
hahahahahaha!

Apparently Watson shared a flat at uni with... Neil Codling?
― natalie imbroglio (suzy), Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
The alternate universe in which Watson was playing keyboards on "Trash" while Codling went on to interrogate Murdoch is an unusual one to be in.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, do you know Neil?
― dave lool (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
ah fuck d'you know i never realised he was in Suede.
Sarah Gurling was at Hull around this time too.
― dave lool (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 17 July 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know NC at all. The one in Suede I know best (though not well) is Brett.
― natalie imbroglio (suzy), Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
Hold on, NV, you know Neil but missed the Suede connection?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
i knew him vaguely, i didn't pay a lot of attention to who was in Suede, or to Suede after the first album really
― dave lool (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
altho i saw them play at Hull the week before the debut album came out? Neil joined later on tho

^^^He is Simon Gilbert's cousin.

Ah okay, I was just getting my head around the idea you and he were buds but he never mentioned his day job.

I don't know, there's a clear BBC link to the DMill, Mandy dinner mentioned up there somewhere.
Does this mean some of the rumoured suppressed threads surrounding the RWade/RKemp marriage will now come out?

I once saw them together at a book launch and R. Kemp had the most hostile body language ever.
― natalie imbroglio (suzy), Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
I kind of liked the personal time I spent with RKemp but it was at a charity dinner with a number of people much harder than him.

Apparently there's some hilarious Fox & Friends bit where they have the NOTW as the victims, then they finish with how this foreign news isn't important anyway and that's when their Casey Anthony bit starts? (can't search, my provider has probs with youtube at the moment)

'i was wondered' - 2:1 degree yall
xps - I once saw them at...ahem...Daylesford Organic (yea, verily, I walked into the very heart of the Chipping Norton set and ate overpriced chocolate with them) and there was a very nasty moment over a jar of organic artichoke hearts.

Course, if *Rupert* got arrested too...
As likely as Santa Claus getting arrested for breaking & entering.Can't shake this feeling that the whole lot of them are going to get off scott free.

it may yet happen. also no police arrested yet iirc. but the committee is a spectacle, an entertaining one sure but a spectacle. starting criminal proceedings against the guilty parties is much more important in the big scheme of things.
