No l can't say l agree with some of what he said but l posted these pieces because then people would discuss and then possibly have different viewpoints and opinions.

Very very true but I think that all the money should go to charity. But this is just my opinion?

For nearly four years they lay piled in a Scotland Yard evidence room, six overstuffed plastic bags gathering dust and little else.
Inside was a treasure-trove of evidence: 11,000 pages of handwritten notes listing nearly 4,000 celebrities, politicians, sports stars, police officials and crime victims whose phones may have been hacked by The News of the World, a now defunct British tabloid newspaper.
Yet from August 2006, when the items were seized, until the autumn of 2010, no one at the Metropolitan Police Service, commonly referred to as Scotland Yard, bothered to sort through all the material and catalog every page, said former and current senior police officials.
It's a damning indictment of what went on at Scotland Yard.

Fair enough but they got the money for the termination of their contracts as I understand it. The only people who could decide to give it to charity and it's recipients and they are not going to be inclined to do so - I am not sure I would - especially since people tend to think of themselves are innocent or ill-treated.

Much as I dislike the way the Murdoch uses his media empire, I have to say I am concerned that policy appears to being made up in response to public outrage, rather than in a considered manner.

Yes politicians always seem to look at the opinions polls or public reaction and then react to it instead of taking their time and considering things rationally.
