Considering most of this happened on someone else's watch you seem to have glossed over that ?.

LOL some people really are very good at 'glossing' over large portions of recent political history aren't they... :D I notice just as their predecessors will have done, Mssrs Balls and Milliband joined DC at a grand Murdoch bash in London just last month but of course their motives were entirely different..... :rolleyes:

Anyway, Murdoch's suddenly being treated like a highly infectious leper and all the bad news is starting to affect his worldwide business so it'll be interesting to see whether the rot stops with the demise of the NOTW.

(sorry for the source paper)

Monday's Mirror alleges that 9/11 victims were also targeted:

And a very odd one from the Telegraph archives...

From that conversation, this is perhaps the most revealing example of the culture that exist in tabloids today:

Absolutely shocking and now we hear that NOTW paid police protection officers for information on the royals.

Cameron's involvement with those involved cannot be ignored. He is inexorably linked to all characters in this messy performance.

How many more times? The police and News International lied to the government of the day and the PCC was complicit in that cover-up. The reason why Cameron, is being highlighted, is because of his direct involvement with News International. The fact that the current government gave jobs to the disgraced and arranged for employment with Murdoch's companies, for those who had lied.

And if this was Tony Blair or Gordon Brown and the Daily Mirror, you would be as "balanced," would you?

Therefore it's not unreasonable to extrapolate that they can also lie to the present government and that Coulson has also lied, or at least not been forthcoming with the truth about his involvement, to Cameron?

Actually yes i would because we were asked to keep the political muck throwing out of the thread by one of the mods.

This is nothing to do with "political muck-throwing" as you put it, it is at the very least, about the judgement of the Prime Minister. Surely that is something we should all be concerned about and I find it rather disingenuous of you that you are not.

And this is the latest revelation to just come out and what else will come out in the next few days as this crisis intensifies.

I am very concerned that DC apparently gave more credibility to the opinion of Rupert Murdoch than the opinion of high ranking politicians in his own coalition. :(

• Abbey National bank found evidence suggestion that a "blagger" acting for the Sunday Times on six occasions posed as Brown and gained details from his account,

• Brown's London lawyers, Allen & Overy, were tricked into handing over details from his file by a conman working for the Sunday Times

• Details from his infant son's medical records were obtained by the Sun, who published a story about the child's serious illness.

Although he should have taken head of the warnings from the newspaper editors and the people within the Liberal Democrats.
