He gave evidence today at Leveson on media computer hacking. His testimony is not being reported by the media surprise surprise. However, his startling testimony regards the association of Andy Coulson with senior figures in the Metropolitan Police Service and the extremely high degree of corruption in the latter. At around page 61 there is testimony from the former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Peter Hain. He had his computer hacked by the NOW at the time he was in office. That's espionage. Why aren't the security services all over it? Or are they but in another capacity.....

Huge hat tip to the gorgeous DavGuy. :humble:
VERY good question, and I'm sure the answer would be a whole new scandal or a new arm of the octopus of this one! Or, one could interpret it as it is now legal to hack into or tap anyone's phone...take your choice. I think the security services are what one might politely call 'compromised' on this one.
NB DavGuy is much missed here by me!!
