God, those NoW journos were utter scum weren't they?

[headfairy]

apparently by deleting Milly's messages her family still had some hope that she might still be alive

just listening to Yates in the bbc news online.....did he say that the new investigation was under a new command structure and was dependent on the information that NI gave them? Is that it....they investigate just what NI wants them to see? For crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apologies if anyone has posted this already, but here is the Daily Show's take on the issue.

sayanything that just about says it all!

list of hacking victims

that's horrible reading.

who's the guy in the committee now?
that daily show thing v funny.

sorry i know serious stuff is coming out right now but am crying with laughter at that Daily Show clip sayanything
"schadenfreude-gasm"

peter clark - police. investigated clive goodman case, i think

Thank you - just watched the Daily Show...really enjoyed it.

on a serious note - bkgirl hope you heard that wrong re what the police are looking at! otherwise wtf is the point?!

Jon Stewart for Master of the Universe.

Twitter saying The Sun got the info on GBs son from a member of the Brown family themselves. OMG!

sorry, i gave yates an extra 'e'. must have stolen it from peter clarke

Agree teej, bkgirl - what a farce if what you say is true.

Just wanted to say belated thanks for the feedback on Politics show. Once the nerves and feelings of sickness subsided, was almost fun....

Jon Stewart..

sorry

that daily show excerpt is brilliant!

Noddy, would that mean that a member of the family had blabbed, though? Or just that they would be less prepared against harrassment calls etc. Suppose they could have been hacked?

Hope that doesn't diminish the impact too much.

Well the Sun are saying they were given the info and didn't pay for it from a member of the family so who knows?

Sorry, at this stage I believe nothing the Sun or anything else NI tells us. I want untampered evidence which the police have had unhindered access to in it's full state (not selected by NI for NI)

noddy, I saw that, but part of the supposed evidence was the fact that the Sun story included the birth announcement card (as if those would only have been sent to immediate family - I think not!)

The Sun had better name their source, hadn't they

The Torys cosying up, lab too scared not to. Yes we had the same thought process from Andrew Marr when interviewing desperate Ed on sunday. Why am i not surprised!!!!!! I am assuming Sarah was too terrified to say no to a sleepover with Rebekah or to organizing her party or attending her wedding. The tories however, well they wernt scared, just bent.

Noddy - it's also about how they treated GB/SB once they had that info, though. Even if they came by it through fair means not foul they steamrolled a family into going public with the diagnosis for FB before they had come to terms with it themselves. As evidenced by the reaction of posters like Peachy (and myself to an extent) who have been through this type of thing that is unacceptable. How GB and SB interacted with RB thereafter you can argue, but fundamentally that incident was completely foul and the Browns were left with nowhere to turn.

NOTW had the police working for them to find people's whereabouts by "pinging" phone location.....only the police allowed to do this. Read page 2 too - my guess this anonymous editor is now well known celeb....

I agree that part of it is awful -if true. How they interacted afterwards though would have been different surely if they knew the info had been obtained illegally. They will have to name the source ponders that seems clear.

You were fab, Katie.
