Scotland Yard's finest, Asst Commissioner John Yates, claims the pathetic police investigations were simply a "cock up".
Of course they were, John, of course, we believe you.... :noblesteed:
It took all of eight hours to close down one of the investigations. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Quote:John Yates: Phone hacking investigation was a 'cock up'
John Yates, Assistant Commissioner of the Met police, has admitted letting down the victims of the News of the World phone hacking scandal
John Yates, if not quite squirming in his armchair, appears distinctly uncomfortable.
Seated in an office high up in Scotland Yard, with views over London, Assistant Commissioner Yates is finally making his apologies.
Two years ago, in July 2009, 'Yates of the Yard' had the chance to reopen the Metropolitan police's investigation into "industrial scale" phone hacking at the News of the World. He missed it.
Instead of re-examining 11,000 pages of material recovered from the home of the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, jailed in 2007 for hacking into the mobile phones of Royal aides, Yates decided after eight hours' consideration, which included consulting the Crown Prosecution Service and investigating officers, that there was no likelihood of further convictions.
It was a decision he now admits was a "pretty crap one".
