I thought it had been proof with admitions.
Are we seeing George michael words coming true all will be sham, cover up might see odd fall guy but once dust settled nothing will be done.
Damien thats my fear it all leads to this oxford ring. I do think this is the centre activity. News corp is not the centre issue think its beyond this. People lie using deceit coverups fall guys to block the real issue. That is government power influence.
I think leveson needs more powers to crack this wide open. He needs powers of raids whoever they are. If thats hunt, osbourne, cameron, murdocks, brookes, coulson. Some will say conspiracy theory but its seems funn MP's namely some constantly being involved.
Maggy J sadly true they say some people can walking into cesspool and come out smelling roses.
I think we seeing this with Certain polititians. |

This is because there isn't any - they can prove the phone was hacked, but it is believed that the voicemails were auto-deleted after 72 hours. We can't (and shouldn't) change the rules of evidence and jurisprudence just because we don't like someone...

However a detailed investigation into the circumstances by the Metropolitan Police has failed to conclusively find any evidence that the voicemails were deliberately deleted.
Detectives who examined phone records found that messages were automatically deleted after 72 hours and so could not say for certain whether any of the stored voicemails had been manually removed before that period was up.
While detectives said it was possible two messages had been removed manually, they were unable to say who had been responsible.

And regarding Leveson requiring more powers, the point of an inquiry of this sort is to be focused on certain areas - if other things come out of it, criminal investigations should happen, or further inquiries. You can't keep extending an inquiry's brief otherwise it would never end, and never come to any conclusions and findings.
The Leveson Inquiry brief
Quote:
The inquiry has two parts, the first of which is examining relations between the press, politicians and police, and the conduct of each. Its aim is to consider the extent to which the current regulatory regime has failed, and whether there has been a failure to act upon any previous warnings about media misconduct.
In doing this, it has already examined the relationships between the press and the public, and the press and police. It will now move on to consider the relationship between press and politicians.
The second part of the inquiry will look at the extent of unlawful or improper conduct within News International and other media organisations. It will also examine the way in which any relevant police force investigated allegations relating to News International, and whether the police received corrupt payments or were otherwise complicit in misconduct.
It will also consider the role, if any, of politicians, public servants and others in relation to any failure to investigate wrongdoing at News International.
The remit also includes broadcasters and social media networks.
