Sunday Mirror phone-hacking claim revealed by Newsnight

SOURCE

So if you are great at hacking phones they call you 'master of the dark arts'.

They continue ..:roll:

There lies the issue, murdochs crowd were only something like 3rd 4th 5th 7th 8th 10th 12 13 14 15 17....on the list of illegal intercepts.
Top were the Daily Mail and then the Mirror.
The real problem was the links from the murdoch hacking and to police corruption and ("alledged") political corruption plus the attempt to cover up the crimes.
What may come into play now is "call me Dave" and his role in his friends alledged perjury in a case against another politician...."attempting to pervert the course of justice" is the term I think.

This is a long way from being over, in fact it's really just begun...we are in for a lot more twists and turns.

What will be interesting is seeing how Cameron tries to dis-associate himself from it all.

Well......he had put Coulson forward for vetting .....just before Coulson resigned:03:

Yeah but was it by luck or design? :hmmm:

This business could yet turn nasty on him making it possibly the first true challenge on his reputation and resolve since he came into office.

I wonder how Nick and his small gang will feel about supporting him if his public ratings start dropping?....if they already haven't.

Well the sad thing there is Clegg already blew it the moment he took the job, their one major opening in a century and they threw everything out the window.
They are faced with the position of toughing it out until the end and then getting wiped out or calling time on the present government and getting wiped out now

Yeah...prety much how I see it especially as my daughter is off to Uni in September and I'm determined to ensure she doesn't run up a debt.

But that's just the simple ramblings of a father.

CNN Host Is Dragged Into Phone Scandal
 

LONDON — It was perhaps inevitable that the phone hacking accusations in Britain would cross the Atlantic and reach Piers Morgan, the flamboyant former Fleet Street editor who is now the host of “Piers Morgan Tonight” on CNN.

James Hipwell, a former journalist at The Daily Mirror, a tabloid edited by Mr. Morgan until 2004, now says that phone hacking was “endemic” at the paper. “Piers was extremely hands-on as an editor,” Mr. Hipwell, 45, told the British newspaper The Independent in an interview published Saturday. “I can’t say 100 percent that he knew about it. But it was inconceivable he didn’t.”

In an e-mail interview, Mr. Morgan struck back at that allegation and other suggestions by members of Parliament and a widely read political blog that his reporters had landed scoops at The Daily Mirror based on phone hacking. Members of Parliament have also said that Mr. Morgan should be questioned.

“I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, nor to my knowledge published any story obtained from the hacking of a phone,” Mr. Morgan said. “I am not aware, and have never seen evidence to suggest otherwise, that any Mirror story published during my tenure was obtained from phone hacking.”

Cheap knocks.

Go for it, :rock:

Sara Payne 'on phone-hack list'
 

The mother of murder victim Sarah Payne has been told she may have been the victim of phone hacking, her charity has said.

Police told Sara Payne her details were in notes compiled by private detective Glenn Mulcaire, who was used by the News of the World, which championed her Sarah's Law child protection campaign.

The Phoenix Chief Advocates charity says Ms Payne is "devastated".

The paper's owner News International has not yet responded to the claims.

According to a a report in the Guardian, the evidence uncovered by police in Mulcaire's notes is believed to relate to a phone given to Ms Payne by the NoW's then editor-Rebekah Brooks "as a gift to help her stay in touch with her supporters".

The BBC has not been able to confirm whether the evidence does relate to this particular mobile.

But Mrs Brooks, who left her role as News International chief executive in the wake of the hacking scandal but denies having had any knowledge of the practice while at the paper, says the phone "was not a personal gift".

In a statement, she said: "These allegations are abhorrent and particularly upsetting as Sara Payne is dear friend.

"For the benefit of the campaign for Sarah's Law, the News of the World have provided Sara with a mobile telephone for the last 11 years...

"The idea that anyone on the newspaper knew that Sara or the campaign team were targeted by Mr Mulcaire is unthinkable. The idea of her being targeted is beyond my comprehension.
