The far more worrying issue is Cameron's long term, and continuing friendship with that nasty piece of work Rebekah Brooks, and by extension the Murdochs themselves. Still worse is the prospect that the Commissioner of the Met had concerns about sharing operational information with the Prime Minister because of the PM's social connections.
It is a bit disingenuous to assume that just because Coulson "resigned" from Number Ten, it disengages him from Cameron and this whole sorry mess. I know that is what the plan is, for everyone to resign with the hope that no one will notice, but I don't think that even the Great British Public are that naive.
