Hacking dead kids phones - fun!

I understand the basics of the story, what I don't get is the sheer level vitriol and anger about it

bit impolite really, innit.

It's probably the same people crowing about what a cunt he is that lapped up the stories at the time which were gleaned from hacking

True dat... and it's no secret that journalists use uncouth ways to get a story.
I was more angry at Rebecca brooks' hair.

'uncouth'? Really?
Try 'illegal' and 'unethical' and 'against the code of practice we all signed up for' etc etc.

These people and their antics are one of my 'hot buttons'
There is no place low enough for them, their sheer arrogance and self righteousness make my knuckles itch.

Anyone who reads into their self righteousness needs a head check.
It's apparent that they are the devil incarnate.

Not in my case
Never read the NOTW or any other Murdoch 'newspaper'.
(Captain Placid 24/7 ball gags, brownie mix and clown porn, Fri 4 Jul 2014, 10:52, Reply)

I don't read any newspaper and I don't have Sky TV
Am I Murdoch free?

'Murdoch free'
That should be a viral T shirt/badge/window sticker campaign.

'This brain is a Murdoch-free zone' on hats. 'Murdoch-free zone' on T shirts' etc. I can see it now........

Do you ever read any books published by HarperCollins?

Dunno - I'll look, my bookcases are right behind me.

Found one - do I burn it?

I didn't mean you cap'n, I just really don't get why some people are so outraged to an unusually high level

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Fri 4 Jul 2014, 10:55, Reply)

I'm not outraged I just like to see a cunt who thinks he's above the law get done.

I guess systematic invasion of your privacy
including all the clunge/cock chat you have with your extra-marital gets peoples' backs up.
