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.

(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?

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

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.

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"....
