Brooks and her husband charged with phone hacking.

Could not happen to a nicer piece of ***** ?

Nah, carole. The country is not ready for a PM with a Brummie accent ! Otherwise, an excellent choice.

[Philtaz]

Unsure of all the implications and ramifications of this but I can't help wondering if Messrs Murdoch (Sr and Jr) will ever set foot in the UK again for fear of prosecution?

I think she is a fiery redhead and won't go down without a fight. There must be many who are quaking in their boots. Go for it girl !!

Brooks and Cameron were clearly close personally and professionally. If she is convicted then it makes it uneasy for Cameron

Cameron employed Coulson who has admitted making illegal payments to Police officers. If Coulson and the Police are charged then again it is not looking good for Cameron.

There are already seeds of dissatisfaction after the drubbing the Conservatives got at the local elections. There is even talk of a leadership contest.

The men in grey suits may decide on some damage limitation before the next election.

the trouble is, if she starts revealing secrets in court and it's thought she should have mentioned them to the police or the Leveson inquiry before, it will only confirm that she has been trying to pervert the course of justice.

As her ex husband can no doubt confirm.....

I'm sure she'll be ok. She'll be saving all the best bits for the memoirs. A couple of months holiday in the nick followed by a massive book deal.

It's everyone else that's worried. If you spend your time sucking up to tabloid jounalists it's bound to come back and haunt you at some point.

Charged that they did conspire to remove documents between the 6th and 9th of July.That's very narrowly pleaded. Sounds as though the CPS can prove that and will adduce lots of evidence of a course of behaviour of which that was the highlight.

I feel sorry for the chauffeur and PA. Very poor manners to involve the servants.

[mike11111]

Why was she not just charged for being ginger? No defence and a mandatory 10 year jail term.

[Davethedog]

Lets say hypotheticall if you were a billionaire, you employed someone, who knew where the bodies were buried and should it come out that you were aware all along, how much would you hypotheticaly pay to ensure it never came out?

I have been saying for a long time the fact they paid out to phone hacking victims and closed the NOTW means that was just tip of a very murky iceberg

[ummmm]

Wonderful input there, Mike.

[Philtaz]

That's a bit unfair mike11111.

200 hours community service for the hairstyle alone should suffice.
