Back on the rogue bad apple defence, rupert owns 49% of NDS an israeli computer security firm. Private Eye have often reported on their shenanigans including this old case of hacking ITV Digital failed in a main part because no one paid for it - everyone had a hacked box or engineer codes.

Yes, I'm reliably informed that it was she who persuaded Herod to kill all first born children too. I agree with Trent on the aspect of what more can come out that is worse than this? We've had murdered children, victims of terrorism and the families of dead soldiers all violated by these scumbags. What else have they done, financed revolutions? Well he's helped promote illegal wars - channelling influence on both sides of the atlantic - from page 6

R4 Today interviewed a host of sacked notw workers - not one of them would say anything bad about any of their superiors. They're all obviously very hopeful of a job on the sun-day.

More fool those who allow it to be so. Following on from this.... This is why targetting notw advertisers instead of newscorp advertisers fails. It allows them to remove the damaged appendage. If cadbury were exposed for pumping sewage into dairy milk bars you would hope that people would boycott cadbury as a whole and not just the one brand. But rupert will get off with losing a brand and and the cost of an organisation restructure.

I would say it's more like the people in the sinking balloon throwing one of their number over the side to gain height. I'd say it's more like the evil ogre cutting off his little finger as a blood sacrifice in full knowledge it will have grown back this time next year. They haven't been sacked - they have been asked to apply for other jobs in the organisation. The fact that they might launch a new title will keep them all busy And this is what happens after a century of murdoch influencing opinon - you end up with retards like gaunt appearing on what are supposed to be serious programs.

Yep, and they'd be right.

Probably sell the title to sullivan or dirty desmond. Rupert survives untouched.

A high proportion of the shite thrown at rupert will stick to dave. Thus it is in the interst of dave's supporters to stop that shite, question the timing of the allegations etc, demean the importance of the issue. A bit like the MPs saying how expenses fiddles were unimportant and that the furore was damaging democracy.

that's two consipracy theories in a week you've put forward. Take two aspirin and get straight off to bed.

There needs to be at least two judicial inquiries - one of the influence newscorp have over the politicos and the second the influence newscorp have over the police. And they need to start now. These will be derailed by 1)the red tories askign for some limp inquiry into press standards - something too wide and non-specific that will produce a report saying all newspapers are naughty sometimes and sweet fa will happen as a result; and 2) the blue tories not allowing any inquiry until the police investigation has completed. FFS the police are implicated - they should be nowhere near this process. So unless labour actually show some balls, unless there is maintained pressure upon advertisers and unless the people actually express a preference for honesty in public life instead of the 'oh they're all bad so what's the point' attitude often displayed - then rupert will contiue to control the govt and the police and shamocracy continues unreined. Personally I think labour will use the noise to damage call me dave, score some points that will be washed away by the sun's headlines at the next election.

For years and years and years the private dicks have employed people who work in the call centres at vodafone, o2 et al. This gave them access to a list of numbers that called you or you called - and if on the same network, the name and address of these correspondents. So you speak to the dowler family and get their mobile, check out their favourite numbers. Bingo. At least two of the major networks used to store the pin code for your voicemail in free text as well - don't know if they've remedied that yet. And by giving people a default pincode, ie 0000 or last 4 digits of your phone number, and when most people access their voicemail direct from their mobile, bypassing the pin code - a lot of people are unaware it is still set at it's default. The mobile companies have been criminally negligent in the protection of people's data and should be hammered by the information commissioner. But that doesn't let rupert off the hook - news corps crimes go way past negligence.

Pulling their ads from NotW is pointless whilst they keep pumping money into the times, the sun and sky.

We should all start opening myspace accounts (he sold it last week for a $500m loss) and fill them with anti-murdoch rhetoric

No, but they are cash cows for the man who is.

Because he is shite??? He actually scored the highest approval rating since time began (or since the polls started) - and also the three lowest ratings.

Nah - you introduced opposition before that line of thought had even been raised earlier in the thread. A little bit off topic - maybe start a new thread?

Lazy repeat of excerpts from last year's gruaniad article Evil Murdoch is Evil Evil Murdoch teaches Evil

Coerced? Been offered the opportunity to organise. Would 1 million separate twitts or 1 million signatures in one place be more effective. support of murdoch dressed up as faux support of the syrians - or just a wind up

Breaking News: As part of the austerity program, the Greek government are suspending production of houmous and tzatziki. Analysts fear a double dip recession

Maybe at the time he did not but he has stood by Brooks throughout this affair and it has been going for several years now. Ignorance is no defence now. His Chief Executive has been accused of criminal acts. A simple investigation or audit of communications would quickly get to the bottom of whether she was likely to have taken part or had knowledge of these illegal acts. He knows and has stood by her. Scum. Both of them. We can't have an audit of the communications because all the emails got lost on a plane on their way to india. At least that's what the murdoch executive told the court in the perjuty trial of tommy sheridan. Lying at a perjury trial - brilliant. The bloke who lied, the NoTW editor for scotland, is still free; and the bloke convicted, despite those lies to court suppressing potentially important information, is still in prison. Funny ol game greavsie.

Murdoch creates the environment in which scum can thrive. He is scum. There is no allegedly about it.

Nah american date format (soz)- that's the 6th of March - Iain was running weekly polls.
