News of the World reporter's letter reveals cover-up

[oldironside]

Rupert Murdoch, James Murdoch and their former editor Andy Coulson all face embarrassing new allegations of dishonesty and cover-up after the publication of an explosive letter written by the News of the World's disgraced royal correspondent, Clive Goodman.

In the letter, which was written four years ago but published only on Tuesday, Goodman claims that phone hacking was "widely discussed" at editorial meetings at the paper until Coulson himself banned further references to it; that Coulson offered to let him keep his job if he agreed not to implicate the paper in hacking when he came to court; and that his own hacking was carried out with "the full knowledge and support" of other senior journalists, whom he named.

Since we were talking about classic comedy yesterday, it puts me in mind of this.

2. I am not normally a vindictive man, but how sweet it would be ...

... to see our "Broken Society" PM resign because he tried to bring criminals into the Government.

7. No doubt in the new spirit of zero tolerance

these miscreants will subject to swift and merciless justice. The courts will surely put aside normal sentencing guidelines and ensure those found guilty will be subjected to exemplary punishment. Or then again maybe not as that might be embarrassing to Dave.
