News of the World phone hacking victims get apology from Murdoch

[oldironside]

"Rupert Murdoch's News International has issued a public apology to eight victims of phone hacking, including the actor Sienna Miller and former culture secretary Tessa Jowell, and admitted for the first time that the practice was rife at the News of the World.

In a move likely to cost the company many millions of pounds, it said it would offer compensation to some of the 24 high-profile figures who have started legal proceedings against the paper in the high court for breach of privacy. It also admitted its previous investigations into hacking had not been "sufficiently robust"."

1. Nice one, Rupe. Everyone loves a boy who says sorry.

Dave and Nick will feel a lot more comfortable about helping you to destroy the BBC now.

2. An *apology*? The victims should sue the flaming hell out of them!

Criminal prosecutions would be even better.

At least it's a good thing that some of the shenanigans of the Murdoch media are finally coming to light.

3. Sue them as far as possible.

It will cost them millions,if only in legal fees. And the only thing they love is money. Could break Rupert´s heart...

5. It´s never too late...

... to find God. Any bad Catholic knows that.

Ironically, the love of money could be his undoing. The queue of victims expecting a big payout is going to be a long one.
