How A Murdered Schoolgirl's Hacked Voicemail May Cost Murdoch His British Ambitions

reply to post by MIDNIGHTSUN


As one would expect those who share responsibility for this depravity are trying to distance themselves from blame.

They are probably falling over themselves trying to find their own personal Oswald.

Statement from Murdoch

Letter to staff from Rebekah Brooks

Message to staff from Colin Myler

That would be the icing on the cake, I would be in heaven to see the entire right wing gutter press utterly destroyed, second that motion... Daily Mail next to the chopping block!

Just in:

News Of The World To Close On Sunday

Wow.

Just starting to get some of James Murdoch's statement: Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World.

Britains biggest selling Sunday newspaper BY FAR is closing!! Just wow!!. I'm gonna crack open a bevvy to say goodbye to the scaremongering, trashy, criminal piece of toilet rag.

Good Riddance!!!!

You know I was considering buying the NoTW on Sunday, being as it is the last issue and all but I checked, I have plenty of toilet paper...

Good riddance bastion of the right wing rags, you will not be missed.

What I love is the reaction by Government and ex-MPs.

Ken Clarke:
"All they're going to do is rebrand it."

John Prescott:
"It's a typical management stunt from Mr Murdoch. What he does is he gets rid of problems and in this case nobody in senior management ... none of those go but the poor old workers at the News of the World are going and there's no doubt it will become the Sunday Sun."

Chris Bryant:
"This is designed to try and protect Rebekah Brooks, and I believe that if she had a shred of decency after what we have heard about Milly Dowler's phone being hacked, which happened on her watch as editor, she should have resigned by now ... This strategy of chucking first journalists, then executives and now a whole newspaper overboard isn't going to protect the person at the helm of the ship."

Zac Goldsmith:
"It has got to be a good day for Britain. I think the News of the World as an organisation is toxic on almost every level. I think the country after Sunday will be a better place."

Now for the rest of them. For too long Government policy in the UK has been dictated by the will of the redtop press and their sensationalist headlines. Time for the Government to grow a backbone, stand up and say, "Enough, we are the elected officials of this country and we will not have our policies dictated by the press." I'm cracking open a beer to cheer the shutting down of a British embarrassment.

Interesting, it would seem the decision was made 2 days ago when an "unknown" organisation bought two domains:

thesunonsunday.co.uk
thesunonsunday.com

I caught a snippet on BBC News that said News International has confirmed The Sun will move to a 7 day newspaper but I cannot find a confirmation at this time.

Edit: found this, www.telegraph.co.uk...

The UK public have had enough of this megalomaniac. He's not even British, let the Aussies deal with this idiot. I want to see the British press owned by British people and REPORTING news instead of MAKING news.
