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

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

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

yes, very frustrating to not know what prosecutors know

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 (twelve years ago) link
"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 (twelve years ago) link
Fucking hell, she doesn't remember 11 years ago. Rupert's senility must be catching.

Even I'd heard of him in 2006 ffs.
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 (twelve years ago) link
Ask her what code name they gave Mulcaire.
― natalie imbroglio (suzy), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:58 (twelve years ago) link
how significant is that (re Wallis)? Tory heave against Cam, or pre-emption of revelations?

Probably because she is bullshitting.

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 doAnd 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.
