I know I know, but it's turning into a massive witch hunt
I'm sure she's a cunt and deserves probably prison, but she one of many, it's not all her fault, I'm sure she didn't invent phone hacking.

She will have driven the culture that lead to lowlier journalists taking those risks
They are all guilty, but she carries greater responsibility

she's ultimately responsible.
Her salary, her position and her fucking precious moral stances dictate that she has to fall furthest for this.

This is a woman who led a campaign to publish the names and fucking addresses of sex offenders who had served their time and been released in the national press without checking any accuracy* and got away with it.

*not that whether or not they actually were sex offenders has anything to do with the fact that it's a disgrace that a paper would identify them.

I'd rather they took aim at Murdoch to tell you the truth.
But we'll see he's defending her a lot at the moment which is risky. "she was on holiday" was the best thing I saw from the news yesterday.

Murdoch, cunt though he undoubtably is
Can justifiably argue he had no knowledge of the whole affair (I'm sure that's not true but that's not the point) as he's not responsible for the day-to-day running or even the output. He just owns the holding company. Wade/Brooks can't possibly argue the same, although I'm sure she'll try.

I think the interesting thing is to see if Ofcom go for the "unfit organisation" route.
See how they get out of that.

Theyn interviewd the chap i charge of the internal investigation at the NOTW yesterday
He was so slimey and evasive, they claim to be co-operating, but it feels like they are desperately trying to minimise damage

She was on holiday from the other day
back to Millie Dowling's* murder?

*or whatever hammer-girl's name was.

Around the time of Milly and the Soham killings.

That's a long holiday.

( Kroney, Thu 7 Jul 2011, 10:31, Reply)

Two seperate holidays apparently.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 7 Jul 2011, 10:32, Reply)

Two separate and convenient holidays.

I bet she killed them!
