The Official Newscorp/UK end of season finale/Rebekah Brooks did 9/11 thread

he is a great tweeter

he is a terrible human being

JM has got a really annoying voice. I can't work out whether he's irritated he's at the inquiry or just a bit thick.

non-stop corporate bollock speak does that - impossible to emote when talking that shyte.

i would love for some to drop him a tab, see him loosen up and see what happens then.

i reckon he is holding some serious secrets for future power games.

I reckon he is a bit thick

oh my

Entertaining stuff, this report.

(from the guardian):

‎"Philip Davies says it is not only way over the top, but completely ludicrous, to say that Rupert Murdoch is not fit to run a major international company.

"We all make mistakes, we all wish we'd done things differently," he says."

That's him admitting he shouldn't've been a Tory, then?

i would love for some to drop him a tab, see him loosen up and see what happens then.

it wasn't a tab, but he wasn't as wild and crazy as you'd think, and this was back when he was 21-22

although I guess now with all the money sitting around him he could really afford to be wild and crazy

On her relationship with News Corporation executive chairman Rupert Murdoch, she said "in the main, on the big issues we had similar views" but they disagreed over issues including the environment, immigration and font size.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/may/15/rebekah-brooks-charged-perverting-course-justice?CMP=twt_gu

Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International, is to be charged with perverting the course of justice, the Crown Prosecution Service said on Tuesday.

oh that's too bad

Still, Chin up and lol, etc.

In a statement, they accused the CPS of "posturing" and said: "We deplore this weak and unjust decision."

looking important to this important and high-profile news story gracing the cover of tomorrow's telegraph

I blame the Anti-Sky Bid Alliance

lol this thread started 5 days after she allegedly did 9/11/the offence

wait no, there are ~3 charges, she was allegedly conspiring all through july afaict

is this about when her husband dumped a laptop in a dustbin that time?

Perverting the course of justice is a serious crime. It has to be tried in the Crown Court before a jury and can, in theory, lead to a life sentence.

If can't do the time, don't do the crime.

... LOL, DC

I know Cory Doctorow can be irritating, but this is a good review of Dial M for Murdoch:

Holy shit. Yeah wondering if some of the charges are linked to this mysterious laptops-in-bins thing, which was never really followed up.

lots of love

Shocking apologism from ITN at the moment - "it's not murder, it's not rape -it's sometimes difficult to believe that all this is about accessing voice messages", "if they're cleared, there will be a reckoning"....

sounds like brooks was perfectly happy to participate as long as everything went her way

hardcore fucking sook

she's so got a dossier .. that statement = "dont fuck with me, or your wife will find out"

Brian Limond ‏ @DaftLimmy

Imagine finding Rebekah Brooks dead in her cell. The trauma! Why, I would wish to compensate the officer £10,000. I repeat, £10,000.

"Jeremy Hunt says he thought about his own position but 'had conducted the bid scrupulously fairly through every stage'"

Seem to have gone from having a Prime Minister who would spend days and sleepless nights agonising over whether he prefers Bourbons to Jammy Dodgers to one who doesn't seem to have a thought in his head and a care in the world

So all I saw of Cameroon was him answering every qu that he couldn't remember anything, anytime, anywhere or know about any subject.

wouldn't pass his CSE that way

Early tweets say Rupert Murdoch's just resigned as director of NewsInt and The Times!

O_O

this was implicit in the announcement of int/corp split up a couple of weeks ago i guess?

but lol

A total of eight out of the 13 people arrested on suspicion of phone hacking will face charges.

A further three people on police bail over hacking allegations have not been charged. The decision relating to two others has been deferred, the CPS has said.

The eight individuals to face charges are: Rebekah Brooks, Andy Coulson, Stuart Kuttner, Glenn Mulcaire, Greg Miskew, Ian Edmondson, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup.

hope that delia smith exclusive in 2005 was worth going to prison for, whatever the fuck it was.
