Rupert Murdoch is expected to arrive in London later to take charge of dealing with the phone-hacking crisis that has engulfed his News International group.

And who is this?

On Friday, an unnamed 63-year-old became the third man arrested as part of the police probe.
He was arrested at an address in Surrey on suspicion of corruption. Police carried out a search of the property.
On Saturday he was released on bail until October.

How come his name is kept secret?

So Murdoch thinks he can stop this crisis from getting worse well it will get worse and Murdoch will also find that his friends in high places do not want to be in the same room as him and his lackys anymore.


Yes it would be nice if the police gave a name out on who the 63-year-old is.

I'm not allowed to say

A private investigator who worked for the newspaper.

I can see a pattern emerging here, Coulson(43), Goodman(53) and unnamed(63)

There must be a few 73 year old ex-NOTW reporters having bonfires and HD wiping sessions today

So Murdock is flying in to save the day is he. I hope he does not mind being hated at every turn he makes. The police need to check he has had no involvement in this before they let him leave the country.

Anyone remember the TV series "Hot Metal" about the fictional newspaper "The Daily Crucible" descent to the gutter? It was said to be based on The Sun, seems it was all true but the reality is much more unpalatable!

I'm wondering how this is all going to affect Murdoch's empire overseas I'm sure there'll be plenty of people wanting to scrutinise quite closely what his minions have been up to at the likes of Fox News. The actions of advertisers will be key here and overseas too. I heard that Renault are going to stop all advertising in News Intl. publications for example.

I would love to be the person who gets to push the card that topples the rest

I think the truth is that 99% of those who work for Murdoch are decent folk who've done nothing wrong. I'd like to see heads roll amongst those at top who're culpable for wrongdoing and not more scapegoating of the decent many.

And seeing as he is now in UK jurisdiction, he is rather vulnerable. It is only a matter of time before his presence is required at the local nick.

Yes l agree with you but its always the ones on the boiler shop floor that get the worse of anything while those at the top of the company tend to get off scotfree.

And lets hope he is locked away and the keys are thrown in the river.

And there lies the problem.

There has never been a situation where senior management of any company takes a hit over the hard working shop floor people. Murdock and his cronies will still be getting there pay packets when the workers of the NOTW are applying for there dole.

Wonder if someone will try to make a citizen's arrest on Murdock.

It looks like the daily fail is up to its old tricks as well.

Sensational allegations of a criminal cover-up were made against Rupert Murdoch’s faltering media empire last night as the phone hacking scandal reached the door of Downing Street.

Police are investigating claims that News International deleted millions of emails from an internal archive in an apparent attempt to obstruct a police inquiry.

All this came as the Prime Minister made the extraordinary suggestion that Mr Murdoch’s son and heir apparent James had ‘questions to answer’ to police after admitting paying hush money to victims of hacking by the News of the World
