Just watched BBC interview with Gordon Brown. He's saying The Sun could only have got medical info on his child's medical records via illegal means. I genuinely don't want to join in with the party politics angle on this, but it begs the question why he didn't sue The Sun at the time if he was adamant (as he is now) that they were breaking the law.

Murdoch....in the long run? (perverse logic I know)

This is a job for the SaintsWeb Forum sleuths.... they could do worse than engage a crack team from here. I said 'crack'.

I believe Phil is highlighting the 'explosive' elements of this story coming out now (i.e. The hacking of murder victims and families phones etc). Yes, the phone hacking story has been out there for years but people didn't care much about 'celebs' being hacked per se.

The Daily Fail is reporting that the BBC's Robert Peston is being fed 'strategic exclusives' by News International so Murdoch can steer events in the direction he wishes, and thus pre-warning his senior team of what the police will be investigating next... Isn't this what used to be known as "perverting the course of justice"...?

It's my pleasure kind sir... ;-)

Been thinking the same thing. Using a hypothesis that Phil would be proud of... :-) ...Saints could become one of the best placed clubs (financially) if the Sky money disappeared 'overnight'... Indeed, some might say that Cortese had a motive to engineer the downfall of the Murdoch empire...we already know there is a connection to the Saints takeover (Barry the Briefcase)...it's all starting to add up... Phil - am I warm...? ;-))

Agreed.....I just have this OCD condition whereby I have to mention the SFC takeover shenanigans once a day otherwise I turn into a loonatic Tory. I have the odd lapse every now and then...

It takes a brave man on here to doubt the seriousness of the Internet and football forums. You, sir, are the bravest of the brave. I salute you. :-))

^ This :-)

That's some claim....there's been some stonkers down the years :-)

;-)

Some of the above "what ifs" did cross my mind too. Cynics of the world unite (in theory...) :-)

No-one got arrested for (allegedly) inflating the SLH / SFC share price in April 2007...

Makes you wonder why a consortium looking to takeover SFC would want a 'professional blagger' onboard...unless they didn't know about his past of course...

Doesn't match the "thick stripes, White sleeves' description from Gary R

Ahem....keep up with Uncle Trousers young man..... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?31079-New-depths&p=1086122#post1086122

Indeed

Totally agree. This could all have been nipped in the bud 8 years ago when it first came to the government's attention.

I'll stop when Ed stops.

I was equally disappointed....to see Ed Miliband there, jumping upon the political opportunist band wagon again. So, Mr Miliband, just why did you and your government take no action in 2003 when Rebekah Brooks admitted at a commons select committee that NI paid police for inside information? Anyway, perhaps Ed should have cleared all this up with the Murdochs at last month's cocktail party.... Still, best not turn this into party political point scoring,... ;-)

Maybe a quote of what he actually said rather than the Solent paraphrasing of it would be helpful in determining where he was coming from. IMHO, it's quite normal to want to improve something that is already "good". Indeed, every top business does just that day in, day out.

Barry the Briefcase.... ;-)
