Cameron opined in Parliament:
Complete rubbish.
Cameron hired Coulson first as Tory Party Propaganda Chief, then as Government Propaganda Chief, precisely because of his specific skillset: Coulson's ability to deliver by hook or by crook.
Cameron also hired Coulson because of his intimate relationship with the Murdoch empire.
If Rebekah Brooks and Les Hinton are Murdoch consigliere, then Andy Coulson was a made man.
A couple of weeks ago, the Murdoch empire declared that Andy Coulson was no longer a made man: it was OK to hit him again.
This was both a cynical act to distance themselves from the evidence about Coulson's alleged knowledge of criminal and corrupt acts by NOTW, and a signal to Cameron that his boy was no longer their boy.
Quote:"On the decision to hire him, I believe I have answered every question about this. It was my decision. I take responsibility. People will, of course, make judgments about it.
"Of course I regret [it] and I am extremely sorry about the furore it has caused.
"With 20:20 hindsight and all that has followed I would not have offered him the job and I expect that he wouldn't have taken it.
"But you don't make decisions in hindsight; you make them in the present. You live and you learn and believe you me, I have learnt."
