Does everybody still think there will be a Sun on Sunday tomorrow?

[nfe]

Ha! Clearly not now. Last weekend I started to think I was probably wrong on that count.

I think any action from the Murdoch camp will be on the back burner for a while now. I thought they'd probably manage to get it all glossed over but it looks like they might actually get held accountable.

Sometimes it's nice to be wrong.

[tomjackson]

I don't think many people thought it would go this far. 
Good to see the Murdoch's looking shaken.  Lets hope the pressure is maintained and they do get held accountable.

Brooks arrested. Next up the chain is James Murdoch.

[MrBump]

If I were a betting man, I'd put money on no-one with the surname "Murdoch" getting arrested.

Maybe Brooks was arrested to stop her dobbing the police in to the Parliamentary committee..?

[nfe]

I wouldn't think it likely, no. Plausible deniability is getting slimmer and slimmer for them, though.

The Met Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has now resigned.

I bet a Murdoch does get arrested.  The pack of cards is falling.

[nfe]

I have the utmost confidence and the met and this definitely isn't suspicious. Just like David Kelly's death.

It's a whole real life conspiracy film!

... and now Sean Hoare, the journalist who blew the whistle on the NoW after being sacked, has been found dead, although the police aren't treating it as suspicious (...although one has to ask oneself why that may be...)

Even MORE Kelly similarities?

This one definitely looks set to run and run.

'unexplained' but not 'suspicious' is apparently the police line. Maybe it was Aliens, or something from the X-files... Tooms.

It was weird, having seen him being interviewed on Panorama last night (not remembering who he was, to be honest), hearing it announced two hours later that he was dead.  :|

It'll be the guy who tried to foam pie Murdoch that is found dead next.

[Dmoney]

found dead in a pile of whipped cream... police reports say "he topped himself"






yeah... i went there.
