BBC panel of 4 blokes is basically pro-Murdoch

depressing

sigh

Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:40 (fourteen years ago)

Seriously, it was a walk in the park for the Murdoch's today wasn't it?

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

far from it

don't be so dayo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

What is the deal w/Brooks?? Is she going to testify?

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

in about two minutes, yeah

Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:42 (fourteen years ago)

xxp

they have put themselves on very public record about a bunch of events that can now come back to bite them pretty hard if we get further evidence uncovered

don't be so dayo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:42 (fourteen years ago)

i'm now waiting for her to appear, sleep be damned xp

Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:42 (fourteen years ago)

there's no master plan here, this feels more like a throw of the dice

don't be so dayo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:43 (fourteen years ago)

"I would like to welcome Mr Rebekah Brooks"

Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:43 (fourteen years ago)

NV, seriously don't think they will feel bad about how it went down. Mensch and Watson were good and sharp.

xp Ok I suppose so. Maybe my bloodlust is too big

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:43 (fourteen years ago)

I suspect both Murdochs know they're fucked and are just trying to scrounge what they can

Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:44 (fourteen years ago)

poor rebekah. everyone's gone home :(

Once Were Moderators (DG), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:46 (fourteen years ago)

i'm now waiting for her to appear, sleep be damned

she's so dull I'm actually being put to sleep

well, that and the three-am-ness

xpost yeah, also fucking Marbles having destroyed the tone.

jack-off all trade, masturbate nuns (sic), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:47 (fourteen years ago)

poor rebekah. everyone's gone home :(

only lobby journalists allowed back in post-pie, not the public/other journalists

lex pretend, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:48 (fourteen years ago)

i think rebekah is wearing the exact same jacket as in the photo at the top of this thread!

lex pretend, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:49 (fourteen years ago)

frustrating to have "zero visibility" on mulcaire's files

yes, very frustrating to not know what prosecutors know

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:49 (fourteen years ago)

haha yes, it is the same jacket

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:49 (fourteen years ago)

xp to sic: yeah, if anything's guaranteed to put me down it's this bag crapping on in the small hours

Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:49 (fourteen years ago)

Lex :-)

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:50 (fourteen years ago)

i think rebekah is wearing the exact same jacket as in the photo at the top of this thread!

Yup

in an arrangement that mimics idiocy (Michael White), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:50 (fourteen years ago)

ugh people on twitter need to learn

REBEKAH not rebecca
BROOKS not wade
WENDI not wendy
DENG not murdoch

lex pretend, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:51 (fourteen years ago)

Dodging dodging dodging

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:53 (fourteen years ago)

nitty gritty here

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:53 (fourteen years ago)

this "who approved the payments?" tack must be promising, because none of them have wanted to answer it properly

don't be so dayo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:53 (fourteen years ago)

"Don't particularly remember any instances" of having talked about payments to private detectives...

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:54 (fourteen years ago)

Fucking hell, she doesn't remember 11 years ago. Rupert's senility must be catching.

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:55 (fourteen years ago)

"Michelle?"

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:55 (fourteen years ago)

Watson's sinking his teeth in this good 'n proper

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:56 (fourteen years ago)

again, either she's certain they can consistently maintain this story or this is an enormous gamble

don't be so dayo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:56 (fourteen years ago)

BBC News saying Wallis was informally advising Coulson while Cameron was in opposition...

ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:56 (fourteen years ago)

"I first heard Glen Mulcaire's name in 2006."

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:57 (fourteen years ago)

Even I'd heard of him in 2006 ffs.

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:57 (fourteen years ago)

Brooks is stonewalling but I prefer her at least being definite to having to endure Murdoch Minor's meaningless wordsoup

lex pretend, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:57 (fourteen years ago)

Ask her what code name they gave Mulcaire.

natalie imbroglio (suzy), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:58 (fourteen years ago)

how significant is that (re Wallis)? Tory heave against Cam, or pre-emption of revelations?

Volvo Twilight (p-dog), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:58 (fourteen years ago)

"You've been conducting an investigation for six months, did you not have time to find out?"

Watson reallllly thinks she's bullshitting

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:59 (fourteen years ago)

Probably because she is bullshitting.

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:00 (fourteen years ago)

Indeed

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:00 (fourteen years ago)

forensic use of the word "incredible" there

jack-off all trade, masturbate nuns (sic), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:00 (fourteen years ago)

rebekah brooks just said it would be unfair to out a paedophile!

joe, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:02 (fourteen years ago)

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:03 (fourteen years ago)

"i've had a few"

Haha yeah good call :)

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:03 (fourteen years ago)

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

How can she remember that she can't remember?

Obviously told to say the ridiculous phrase "Operation Motorman" as often as possible too.

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

they can get a footballer's mobile phone number and PIN within a week or two but they can't find out who's been employing law-breakers in their own company in the space of 12 years or more?

don't be so dayo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

waaaau at Brooks' expression after those Morgan quotes
