To be honest i think its pretty low of you to send this thread of topic so you can score cheap political points, What about those about to lose there jobs.

You are not beyond making, as you put it, "cheap political points."

Why do you even not contemplate that Cameron knew what Coulson was up to and that is why he employed him? Let's face it, since all the previous guff, about isolated incidents and rogue employees, has been blown out of the water, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Cameron's leadership campaign and subsequently the Genneral Election campaign, was bolstered by information gathered by the hacking. In fact, I'd say that is is more than probable, but that is my opinion.

Get away with what, Are you that anti Tory that you think to you can make it out that they were doing the hacking. You need a tin foil hat sir.

This is nothing to do with being anti-Tory, this is about "alledged" criminals working within the inner circle at Number Ten and Conservative Central office and at best, the lack of judgement of the Prime Minister, at worse his complicity.

Cameron was warned about Coulson's involvement in the hacking and the bribing of police officers, he either chose to ignore those warnings, or decided it was a bonus, one or the other. Either way, he has shown he is not fit to be a Prime Minister.

I will point out that Labour supporters have no cause or right to be holier than thou about this issue.All the events of phone hacking happened under a Labour government.

The party politics on this issue cannot be ignored. If it is shown that Cameron benefited from the hacking, during the elections (general and leadership), it will bring into question the whole result. The fact that the Tories have been linked with the Murdoch empire for so long (even during the Blair years), employing disgraced senior managers and supported others, it cannot be brushed under the carpet any longer. Don't forget, Cameron refused to re-open the woefully inadequate investigation into these allegations, so there has to be party politcal agendas behind his motives.
