Phone hacking scandal deepens

Nor should you trust them Keith. They are a motley crew :mexican: Some have joined freely to sail the seven seas fight sea monsters and rescue mermaids and to stop Japanese whaling while others are on secondment from their day jobs with the agency, Volksland Zekurity and opeating drones in Pakistan from their California offices.

  Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.
  The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.
  The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of David Cameron.
  It is understood the bag was handed in to security at around 3pm, and that shortly afterwards Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.
  Instead, it is understood that the security guard called the police. In less than half an hour, two marked police cars and an unmarked forensics car are said to have arrived at the scene.
  Police are now examining CCTV footage taken in the car park to uncover who dropped the bag. Initial suspicions that there had been a break-in at the Brooks's flat have been dismissed.
  David Wilson, Charlie Brooks's official spokesman, told the Guardian that Charlie Brooks denies that the bag belonged to his wife. "Charlie has a bag which contains a laptop and papers which were private to him," said Wilson.
  "They were nothing to do with Rebekah or the [phone-hacking] case."
  Wilson said Charlie Brooks had left the bag with a friend who was returning it, but dropped it in the wrong part of the garage. When asked how the bag ended up in a bin he replied: "The suggestion is that a cleaner thought it was rubbish and put it in the bin." Wilson added: "Charlie was looking for it together with a couple of the building staff.
  "Charlie was told it had gone to security, by which stage they [security] had already called the police to say they had found something.
  "The police took it away. Charlie's lawyers got in touch with the police to say they could take a look at the computer but they'd see there was nothing relevant to them on it. He's expecting the stuff back forthwith."
  Rebekah Brooks was arrested on Sunday under suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, and of corrupting police officers. She is due to appear before the Commons culture, media and sport select committee on Tuesday afternoon.

Some one had to do it.

LONDON (Reuters) - A former journalist who told the New York Times that phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch's now defunct News of the World was more extensive than the paper had acknowledged at the time, has been found dead, media reported on Monday.
Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious.

One neighbour said last night: "He was physically going down hill. He was yellow in colour and wasn't looking well for the last month and was off sorts and I was really worrying about him.

Someone always says this. I think he was murdered. The press is being very coy about this story.

Have been living for 2.5 hours to this tripe from Murdoch and Murdoch. They were thrown the weakest of punches and stonewalled or crocodile teared them away. Nothing learned. A waste of time IMO. :loo:

It just livened up. Someone tried to hit and/or throw something at RM. His wife Wendy hit him with a right hook~! :rocker:

Rebecca the Red is next!....anta:

Tabloid is as tabloid does...... Poeple couldn't remember why people were given million L hush money. Et al. Yawn!

My gut feeling - the Murdock Reich one of the tentacles of World Oligarchy's ongoing Bread and Circus Show! Bring on the Gladiators to distract from real news!

Sorry but this is a disaster.

Those who don't know the true nature of the Murdoch empire will now have sympathy for this old man and his (third?) wife springing to rescue the geriatric old fool from a foam pie.

Unfortunately, from the few minutes I've seen of the Parliamentary Committee, they were crap, and didn't even manage to land a custard pie on him.

I'm off to have a nose around.

However, throwing a foam pie in Rupert's face achieved nothing other than generating misplaced sympathy for "his courage in facing his interrrogators". So much so that I am suspicious of the motives of the pie thrower. angryfire
