Yes, Vaz chairs the Home Affairs Select Committee which has been characterised by some very unnecessary comments. Anyway, so it's nothing at all to do with MPs feeling able to behave like silly children when dealing with senior police officials and other less influencial figures than the Murdochs then?

Tom Watson was the only person there asking the real questions - After 3 hours and a custard pie disturbance - we are none the wiser.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Definitely a absolute nutter for doing that and even though l despise the Murdoch's there is no excuse for that type of behavior.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Perhaps our glorious leaders quite like us being none the wiser about what's been going on for years and their failure to act until they were forced to.

Its seems that Neil Wallis was a formal adviser to Andy Coulson for the Conservatives before the election thus this is increasingly bringing David Cameron deeper into the crisis.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Just had a reply to my email sent to my MP, Caroline Dineage about the BSkyb bid.

Sent it over a week ago..and of course the bid is now withdrawn.

The really interesting thing is what she has to say about an amendment to the Ministerial Code that future meetings between Ministers(and Permanent Secretaries and Special Advisers) and editorial press representatives at all levels in future having to be specifically recorded.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Yes and thats a good idea Maggy.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

I think it's a fair numnber. Fedorcio's explanation was a reasonable expectation of the need for such people. I would much rather that civillian communications experts liaised with the press and others, to allow police officers do their jobs. I would imagine that if a police officer is taken away from investigating or preventing crime, to deal with reporters and the like, it could mean that they don't get their jobs done.
