I agree, bkgirl

I too have been surprised by Ed Miliband. Am still reserving judgement though.

I think Cameron is in all this so deep, he cannot keep feigning that he 'didn't know'. That excuse hasn't worked for Paul Stephenson, so why should it for him ? I just don't understand the arrogance of the man that makes him think he is still fit to run the country.....not that I ever thought he was. (Just my opinion !)

tweet from Telegraph:

Rebekah Brooks' lawyer: she is "not guilty of any criminal offence". Police put no allegations to her. LIVE: tgr.ph/od1uuj #hacking

they just had a chat over a cup of tea & some nice biscuits, maybe?

bornsicky hughes can't get london to elect him never mind the nation and
menzies was seen as too old at the time and doubt he'd want the hassle now!

Not to hard to c and p; no need to write the name of the lawyer of RB for me.

teejwood · 18/07/2011 12:51

mrsdonkey that's our problem, isn't it. look across the front benches and back benches - all parties. which of them would we actually trust to have the integrity and talent to be PM?!

Terribletriplets · 18/07/2011 12:51

ah that tried and true path to justice: wealthy well connected person gets shit-hot lawyer to get them out of an inconvenient spot Hmm

Is it really that simple ? The typical 'I'm alright, Jack so 'eff you' philosophy ?

Do you think the 'public' are as angry about this as 'we' are ? Have seen a couple of reports and so-called 'celebs' stating that people are fed up now, I most certainly am not.

I said at the start of all this that if it brings one down, I hope the whole house of cards falls.

It is puzzling that the media have kept quiet till now ? I guess it will all come out eventually ?

Actually, I don't trust any of the buggers.

Never voted for Blair, or Cameron. They are all arses as far as I'm concerned !

bkgirl · 18/07/2011 12:55

You mean he helped with the ridiculous cover up the murder of Dr kelly? Hutton was a farce and maybe we will now get to the truth.

mrsdonkeybucket · 18/07/2011 12:55

Don't believe that they have nothing to get RB with. Whose her lawyer ? The celeb fave, Nick Freeman ? Twat. Smile

Terribletriplets · 18/07/2011 12:58

I linked to the lawyer of RB, MDB. Multiple experience of giving multiple polititian advice. I would have engaged him, if I were in the place of RB.

mrsdonkeybucket · 18/07/2011 13:00

Terrible

Thanks for that. I was being sarcastic, though !

teejwood · 18/07/2011 13:08

mrsdonkey i fear that the public are so apathetic that having the 'I'm alright, Jack so 'eff you' philosophy would actually be a more active state of mind...
sad but true - and that is exactly why public interest has diminished - tomorrow's chip-papers and all that. they are bored with it and want a new story to consume, passively.
and that's exactly what the police, politicians and NI are hoping for - so everything gets back onto the same old track.

slug · 18/07/2011 13:12

Rebekah Brooks' lawyer: she is "not guilty of any criminal offence".

So that moment in the select committee where she admitted to paying the police for information was what exactly?

ThisIsANiceCage · 18/07/2011 13:24

Wow, Triplets well found. That's, um, quite some list...

ThisIsANiceCage · 18/07/2011 13:34

"god i am SOOO bored with this story"

I think this is described as getting the government we deserve.

God I was behind and didn't realise just how timely figgygal's post was.

Case rests, doesn't it?

Yates has gone now.

(dull hijack but could anyone tell me how I can put a link on the CIF part of the Guardian? I know it is ableable, but I am not able to work out how to do it. Thank you. Hijack over)

boswelloxsmith · 18/07/2011 14:19

mrsdonkeybucket · 18/07/2011 14:21

Doesn't it just ?

And yet those that are now 'SOOO bored with this story' are the ones who whine and whinge and moan the most about the state of the country. Just don't care enough to get off their backsides and do something about it.

And I don't go along with the 'well what can we do anyway'......why don't we try, and find out ?

Saw the BBC1 1 o'clock news and John Yates has apparently said that he feels that 'people are losing their jobs as it is trial by media'.....I disagree. I think it is trial by media and the public who are now finding a voice and making it quite clear that we do not want out country or Police Forces run by corruption and backslapping.
