Merchant Bankers Jim, Merchant Bankers.

Anyway, it's good to see NOTW get the chop, would be nice to see the Diana Express, Daily Fail, and Tits and Bum follow it but NOTW is the scapegoat for this mess, as opposed to actually punishing those behind it, aka Brooks and Murdoch..but such is life in the machine.

Oberon, perhaps not.
Throwing the publication out the window after spending millions trying to shut the story down may yet not be enough.
David Camerons ex-media chief is due to be arrested in the morning regarding what looks like corruption and perjury, News Internationals chief executive looks like she may be not far behind him in the queue and junior Murdoch might also be in the firing line.
But more importantly this scandal is possibly going to be hitting Rupert where it hurts most, in the States.
All that celebrity crap and politicians and petty crime stuff was never going to impact on his business over there, but screwing around with dead soldiers, terrorism victims and murdered schoolkids isn't going to do his business many favours with his fanbase.

Cameron to hold press conference at 9.30 now this should be a real :D:har:

The News Of The World.

Proving finally without a doubt 'No news is good news'.

TBH, I don't think there were many if any newspapers that could match it on a Sunday morning for sports coverage.

Was watching Question Time last night and one of the comments sent in said: "Does anyone know Rupert Murdoch's mobile number?":D

Cameron’s Former Aide Arrested
 
British Leader Orders Hacking Inquiries!

LONDON — British police arrested a former editor of The News of the World tabloid on Friday who had also been a senior aide to Prime Minister David Cameron, deepening the crisis swirling around Rupert Murdoch’s news empire over allegations of phone hacking and corruption.

Struggling to contain the biggest scandal since he took office more than a year ago, Mr. Cameron announced two separate inquiries into the revelations, saying “no stone will be left unturned.”

In a statement, Scotland Yard said Andy Coulson, Mr. Cameron’s former director of communications, had been interviewed at a police station in south London and was “currently in custody.”

While his arrest had been expected, it brought a new dimension to the scandal, turning it from one of claim and counter-claim to a question of criminal charges.

A police statement said the former editor had been arrested “on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications” and “on suspicion of corruption allegations.” It said he had been interviewed by officers investigating illegal payments to corrupt police officers and phone hacking.

The arrest came as Mr. Cameron scrambled desperately to contain the fallout from scandal and focus public attention on measures being taken to investigate it. But it was certain to draw renewed taunts by Mr. Cameron’s critics that he showed flawed judgment in hiring Mr. Coulson in 2007. In the past, the prime minister has always vouched for Mr. Coulson’s integrity and said he believed Mr. Coulson’s assurances that he had done nothing wrong.
