They are falling thick and fast now. I believe that they think that we the people are stupid and cannot see through the games they are playing to try and save their own arses. Angry9:

I'm waiting more on what happens with the yanks. If it does turn out that they were hacking 9/11 victims then I suspect Murdoch's next media move is going to be selling Big Issues.

Rupert Murdoch is Australian but I seem to recall he applied for and was given US citizenship some years ago ...... If the FBI can get anything on him then he will do time.  eveilgrin:

I hadn't picked up on this before...

Quote
"Following his operations, the commissioner stayed with his wife at Champneys Medical from Monday to Friday over a period of five weeks earlier this year where he underwent an extensive programme of hydro- and physiotherapy. This enabled him to return to work six weeks earlier than anticipated. As with many officers, the Met paid the intensive physiotherapy costs."

From here...

WTF is going on in the UK? Shrugs:

NHS not good enough for the police...?

Probably cheaper than to have had him off work for an extra 6 weeks on full pay.
I couldn't ask for better friends. I could ask for more NORMAL friends, but not better ones.

I reckon that 'six weeks earlier' is bollocks too!  cussing:

Rebekah Brooks arrested by hacking police

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14178051   whistle:

If I was the cynical sort I'd think that arresting her just before the public inquiry was a way to try and stop information about payments to the police from coming out tomorrow.
