Re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families

I suspect that the public has not been fooled by this action at all..I think it is going to take far,far more to make this sorry string of events go away.

Deliciously cynical points scoring, pretty much the level we're all used to from politicians on that side of the spectrum.
T'internet is truly a democratically wonderful thing in this changing world. Left wingers allowed to air views that wouldn't be permitted in any of Murdoch's conduits of propaganda.

I'm sure the son of NOTW is already in the planning stage in Murdoch's bunker. I hope the internet generation remain vigilant.

Re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families

Absolutely sickening that the innocent workers lose out because senior management like to make the mess but not clean it up or take responsibility. That being said though i can imagine the police now have quite a few other people to talk too about what was going on at the NOTW and who was responsible for what and who knew what.

This might well turn out to be a very bad move on the part of NI as none of those workers owe him a damn thing now and can freely talk about things they may not have done before here's hoping.

No but owning 39% of the company gives them a say of what is done and said as well?

Looks like the decision to axe NOTW was taken before today.

But yet you're the only person in the entire thread that resorted to name calling.Also I didn't realise thisTHREAD was causing political and public unrest.

Doesn't surprise me at all , they interviewed an editor from the guardian on Sky news who basically said it could also be a cost cutting exercise , he also said James Murdoch wasn't a big fan of newspapers. What do you lot think will happen to the Suns reader base ?

When I heard NotW was to close, I though the the Sun would be issued on Sunday under some name.
