DEM not gonna CON dis NATION: Rolling UK politics in the short-lived Cleggeron era

From reading the comments to that Oborne piece (I know, more fool me) I find out that James Murdoch is married to the sister of this 0_0 100% barking at the moon nutjob

Don't be a sucker!
Don't let Jewish criminals use "anti-Semitism" as a shield!

writes for the guardian?

Imagine Oborne approves of him more than his brother-in-law

C4 News: Met Police confirms there are 4,000 names in approximately 11,000 pages of material that they are looking at in phone-hacking investigation.

'frightenedsheeple.png' a new twist on an old classic

Dave Gorman has quit his News Of The World column following the scandal over phone-hacking.

"you'll never find another dave gorman!"

Gonna be lots of blank pages in there this weekend eh?

Love these dudes pretending they've just cottoned on to the fact they've been in the pay of an organisation with 0 ethical standards.

Just waiting for Dr Hilary Jones to jump ship now.

really hope they bring Captain Cash back from the early 00s

its sad he was a philanphropist

Nah, he's a TV colleague of Martyn Lewis too.

amazing to go back at the responses to the guardian's 2009 story that reopened phone hacking:

a spokeswoman for Cameron said the Tory leader was "very relaxed about the story".

Murdoch told Bloomberg news last night that he knew nothing about the payments. "If that had happened I would know about it," he said.

a spokeswoman for Cameron said the Tory leader was "very relaxed about the story".

Funnily enough I'm very relaxed about the story, in fact I'm loving every fucking minute of it

Today's Page 3, apparently:

NoTW running NO advertising Sunday.

My mum buys it, must ask her if she'll still be buying it... probably will

Maybe it'll be 64 pages or whatever of Bart Simpson writing out an apology.

NoTW running NO advertising Sunday

No adverts on their webpages at the moment either

Not a very glamourous look for the Death Eaters.

Behind the paywall though:

Sunday Sun?

everything they try and to do to make amends is just annoying me now tho, i wanna see jailings and record fines, maybe the odd "suicide"

From such humble beginnings:

The newspaper was first published on 1 October 1843, in London by John Browne Bell. Priced at just three pence, even before the repeal of the Stamp Act (1855) or paper duty (1861), it was the cheapest newspaper of its time and was aimed directly at the newly literate working classes. It quickly established itself as a purveyor of titillation, shock and criminal news. Much of the source material came from coverage of vice prosecutions, including transcripts of police descriptions of alleged brothels, streetwalkers, and 'immoral' women.

lotta work for charidee mate, don't like to talk about it

Frederick Greenwood, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, met in his club one day Lord Riddell, who died a few years ago, and in the course of conversation Riddell said to him, `You know, I own a paper.' `Oh, do you?' said Greenwood, 'what is it?' `It's called the News of the World—I'll send you a copy,' replied Riddell, and in due course did so. Next time they met Riddell said, 'Well Greenwood, what do you think of my paper?' 'I looked at it,' replied Greenwood, 'and then I put it in the waste-paper basket. And then I thought, "If I leave it there the cook may read it" —so I burned it!'

I like how the Beeb is already playing the tiny violin for the innocent Stormtroopers who weren't part of the SS heirarchy and couldn't have known they were working for scumbags.

I just like the idea of these two doofs hanging around their club and one going "Oh yeah, I own a paper, almost forgot about that" and the other being all "Who knew?"

you'll notice of course that while the whole newspaper has gone, rebekah brooks remains - biggest sacrificial scapegoat* ever

*that'll just be resurrected anyway

escape goat, morelike.

Anyone know how many people work at the paper? Will they all be loaded off at the Sun now?

story's up on the BBC
