Yes well given their appalling record I can see why you'd rather apply your very own statute of limitations to the discussion.

Firstly l do not speak for the public as they are intelligent enough to form their own opinions and they do not believe David Cameron one jot, secondly it was on Andy Coulson's watch where a lot of the hacking took place and for him to say that he did not know about it is frankly a laugh and it also comes back to that David Cameron did not check this person out thoroughly before appointing him as director of communications shows a terrible lack of judgement and poor common sense and for one to be in this high position of office that is frankly not good enough.

Yes well I have a very privileged 'Tory' background - my father was a manual worker and unable to read/write until well into his adulthood.

Re: Money comes too money
BSkyB gets the money from News International - NI only own 39% of BSkyB.

My father was a labourer, I was brought up in Govan and lived in tenements, so coming from a "common" background is not a reason to profess ignorance (and seeming to be proud of it).
