That aside, isn't it a bit early to make that decision. The last time a "not being treated as suspicious" death occurred, we now have a police officer up for manslaughter.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

I was merely making the point that the police should have learned from past experiences when jumping to conclusions.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Doesn't seem to me that they've jumped to any conclusions. They've stated that:

Agreed but I want it to stay at that level.Not go off at a tangent.Hence the reminder.

LOL - Stephenson is being flogged to death at this committee meeting this lunch time in front of MP's at the moment, so much so that he has just said.. "When I took over as Prime Minister."

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Who would have thought that 'Millie Dowler' has brought down some High profile people.

If it hadn't been for them Hacking her phone and giving False hope, nobody would have really given a dam that MPs & Celebs had there phone hack (I didn't care about MPs Celeb's), but Millie was the tipping point.

Murdoch's being questioned 2:30

Brookes being questioned 3:30

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

He is saying that he went to visit The Guardian to ask why they continued to report on it after assurances were given. Not reflecting well on him.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

I still can't stand that Keith Vaz is allowed to question anyone on links to dodgyness and corruption.

Stephenson is having a bit of a disaster, his assurances that the rank and file Met were behind him were laughable, still fair play for ignoring Vaz's attempt to make a political comment regarding budget cuts.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Question from Vaz to Stephenson:- How many former NotW employees currently work for the MET?

Stephenson: 10 - They work in the DPA (Department for public affairs)

--

That's a rather large amount of former News international staff working for the MET..

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

It's amazed me the Met has a PR dept with more than 50 people in it. Policing isn't a business FGS!!

A couple of people to put out press releases would do the job.

Is the BBC feed screwed up for anyone else? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14193124

Just jumped from John Yates back to Paul Stephenson?

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

I think we got quite a look into the workings of the MET today and it wasn't very good and doesn't show them in a good light. Hope they can sort this out because right now i have more faith in the keystone cops to sort things out then i have in the MET. I think it is time for an outside police force to take this over because as long as it is handled by the MET i don't think people will be completely happy or believe that everything that should will come out.

Sad state of affairs when you have such big doubts in a police force in this country.
