Stay classy Guido!

she is very determined to get to the bottom of all this

"Finally, Ms Brooks - how did you run the UK newspaper publishing division of the world's second-largest media conglomerate with such a terrible memory?"

"When did this happen? I can't remember."

Been enjoying the cryptic tweets from EXNOTWJourno2 that pop up -- anyone want to hazard the latest?

I suspect it's one for the cryptic crossword fans. Could be wrong.

NI lawyers who got dumped on by the murdochs have asked to be released from confidentiality to defend themselves. NI refused.

Can Parliament overrride that?

xp TOTAL SKEWEY?

xp don't think so: legal privilege is a powerful thing.

YEATES TO WALK

I can understand a strong privilege to protect from being forced to incriminate oneself but it seems that Parliament's prerogative would trump a corporation's legal interests, esp if the indivds wish to do so. Isn't that precisely what parliaments are for?

Oh, I also got TALK TO YATES

Hmm. How about this (rather saucy) one? The M is how she usually signs her posts:

ExNOTWjourno2 Marie X
DiRty Pony I Can't Wait To HoSE You DOwn. M

SWEATY TOKLE

PRODUCES WITH?

PRO WITCHY MEDS

It says something about how this has trailed off compared to the action earlier that we're all just doing anagrams now.

lol

She basically confirmed conspiring with Dacre and others about silencing coverage, though.

WITCHES DROOP

an actual lawyer says they could break legal privilege if summoned to testify, apparently.

"In this current climate, there is a lot out there that isn't true..."

oh ffs putting untrue stories out there has been your fucking core business

caroldecker carol decker

God will you all knob off! I do not look like RB!!!!! You mother fuckers!!!

i can see why it'd be her default assumption

xp

I love the way John Yates says he's taken responsibility, others should too

Who?

very quietly and quickly: 'News International'

by which I suppose he must mean the people who run it, as several others have already quit.

She enjoyed it so much she wants to come back!

STARE OF DEATH

Turns out Jonnie Marbles is one of those guys who thinks comedy is telling bad anecdotes in an arch voice

The Youtube hordes seem to not actually be acting like he's a lol legernd, which is good because you'd hate for there to be some kind of misguided outcry against his being kneecapped and jailed for life without trial

enough is enough i guess

New York (CNN) -- At least 14 people have been arrested as part of an ongoing operation targeting the notorious hacking collective known as Anonymous, a federal government official said Tuesday.

The arrests have taken place in locations including Florida, the San Francisco area in California and New Jersey, the official said.

Earlier, a senior federal law enforcement official said up to 15 total arrests are expected following the execution of more than 15 search warrants.

This apparently has no irony in it:

piersmorgan Piers Morgan
Rebekah Brooks (a great, and loyal friend) just been cut off from live #CNN USA coverage for President Obama speech. She won't be happy.

hahahaha

piers morgans tv career is proof of the absence of irony in this world. just crushing sophoclean doom.

i hope Jonnie Marbles' commitment to free speech means he won't moderate any of his Youtube comments

xpost -- I'll give him this much:

piersmorgan Piers Morgan

One day I will, relax RT @YouCantEditSam I want @piersmorgan to die with a passion.

j. murdoch's "to my knowledge certain things were not known" is a classic for the ages

like, maybe they actually were known, but that would only be the case if he had less complete knowledge

Was he talking about the known unknowns or the unknown unknowns?

oh noes!
