yes,I saw that, mike

I also saw the very skeptical parliamentary committee questioning the present metpol asst commish and 2 past ones. none of the 3 impressed me. their attitude appears to be – it wasn’t very important and we were busy, shrug, shrug. and incidentally, the NOW was not nice to us! and their solicitors told us to go away...................

why it was necessary for the metpol guys to be frequently dining/meeting with NOW bosses wasn’t made clear, the committee was clearly unimpressed by the reasons/excuses given by these three.
few, in any position, are not impressed by power, fame and money and the metropolitan police are evidently no exception.

can’t that re-headed bitch do something about that great mop of flaming ginger hair?

Taint From Tabloids Rubs Off on a Cozy Scotland Yard

For nearly four years, six overstuffed plastic bags containing possible evidence of phone hacking by the British tabloid, The News of the World, collected little more than dust in the evidence room of Scotland Yard.

During that time, British police officials assured Parliament, judges, lawyers, potential hacking victims, the news media and the public that there was no evidence of widespread hacking by the paper. But that assertion has been reduced to tatters in the last week, torn apart by an avalanche of contradictory evidence, admissions by newspaper executives that the hacking was more widespread, and a reversal by police officials who now admit to mishandling the case.

In an article in the Sunday New York Times, Don Van Natta Jr. explains how the British police agency and News International, the British subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation and the publisher of The News of the World, became so intertwined that they shared the goal of containing the investigation.
