New thread to continue from God those NoW journos were utter scum weren't they?

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already on the thread, but I was listening to radio 2 today and Jeremy Vine referred to today as the Murdochalypse! Made me :o!

a pleasure teej

schedenfreudegasm is my new favourite word out of this whole thing, but numptinational definately gets the word of the day award

mid sentence realisation he was wandering off script.... quick save. oh mr murdoch jnr

OOh, that's good ! Hi Lis !

Murdochalypse

I like it !

How about : Murdochedden ?

Also loving 'fuckastrophe'

numptinational is new word of the day.

also like Murdochalypse

That's good too.

Numptinational : any business run by an octogenarian ?

'The most humble day of my life'
Thereby providing the redtops with tomorrow's headline. Cynical.

Important to wee now, before RB.

To be fair, I do not and would not expect a person who runs a major multinational to know what relatively low level employees were doing on a day to day basis in one very small part of the company. They leave the operational management to the people they appoint.

It is the operational people on the ground that can and should be answering questions.

Please take note, it is not phone hacking, it's voicemail interception.

Does he keep saying it because he thinks it doesn't sound as bad ?

Is that her? Are they speaking slowly deliberately?

@BB, that is why it is important to wee before RB comes on. Agree.
(Hits table, for random impression of integrity)

Yes, TT that is her.

Gruff, heavy scottish accent got in the way of sheridan's q's. I can have a gruff, heavy scottish accent when I want but if I was questioning Murdoch I'd have polished up my telephone voice a bit more

James Murdoch is pretty scary looking.

A young Heinrich Himmler.

Ooh, it comes to money and the old fool wakes up. Most coherent sentence he has said.

She should sit up and stop being a fidget. Thanks MDB :)

I wonder if babbling Brooks will sit behind RB.

They're drinking out of plastic cups ffs. Can't the select committee afford better?

Welcome !

I should think they will leave ?

morebeta sorry don't buy the ignorance is bliss theory here.
a) according to legend, RM sits in on editorial meetings in London on a regular basis.

b) the stories about settlements etc were in the media - which is his business. he is likely to flick through the press on a daily basis to make sure his empire has its share of the big stories of the day
c) senior execs in that sort of position tend to be given a roundup of media coverage because they don't have much time - it would ordinarily cover main stories about the organisation, competitors, market environment.

as i said, i just don't buy it.

franke

What's wrong with plastic cups ? It's all the cuts, you know, it affects everyone.

We are all in this together.

I love that sentence !

morebeta I would expect him to know, given it's now become the subject of a major criminal investigation.

Prior to that, maybe not, but seems he's applying total denial as a defence, when he should have found out by now.
