I’m sorry that there is no guest appearance from The Pakistan High Commissioner in the film or , indeed, any cricketers….On #Metgate #Hackgate – it seems, with the NOTW covering 18 pages of their paper tomorrow on corruption in cricket, they Coulson’t fit any other types of corruption in!
We shall find out when the papers hit the shops tomorrow!
And… you really should look at this post by leading Tory blogger Iain Dale for balance.
Coulson’s Accusers Can Go to Hell
“Andy Coulson is bloody good at his job. That’s why the likes of The Guardian, Alastair Campbell, Prescott and Johnson are doing their best to jump on the back of the New York Times story about an ex News of the World journalist who was sacked by the paper for persistent drug and alcohol problems. You don’t think he might have a grudge, do you?
They all want Coulson’s scalp. Well, sod ’em.
Well… there we are… life in Britain goes on despite the credit crunch… etc etc etc….. and, in time, we shall see who is right… The Tories or the Wicked Witches from Narnia on the Left …who have been sitting in a cupboard for well over 100 days trying to elect a new leader….
In the interests of a rounded view – it is only right that I draw your attention to some world class thinking from…. Dizzy Thinks … or thinks he thinks?
Meanwhile, in the real world….
And this from Iain Fale’s Diary….
My accusers who say I use hyperbole such as “people who disagree with me should go to hell” just for an eye-catching headline can go to hell
Andy Coulson ‘lied’ over News of the World phone-hacking – reporter
• Pressure mounts as No 10 spin doctor’s ex-colleague speaks
• Tessa Jowell says phone was hacked 28 times
• Prominent figures to sue Met for lack of warning
John Prescott furious over unrevealed link to phone-hacking scandal
Guardian: Documents held by Metropolitan police suggest News of the World targeted former deputy prime minister
Channel 4 maintained earlier on twitter through Krishna Guru-Murthy that they were not running with this Prezza story because he was dealing with a Sunday newspaper….. Who would have thought that such a thing was possible?
And… it will be interesting to see if… following the endeavours of those who pushed this story (famous bloggers / politicians et al) …. to see if there is any *Evidence*….. Evidence is quite useful to the rule of law… and if there is… we should see it and act upon it…. if there isn’t.. well…. I leave you to draw your own conclusions on those who have pushed it / not pushed it
I don’t know… not being privy to these things…..
And… I suppose that we shouldn’t leave out the latest from the Labour Leadership election. Ed Balls… is, ineluctably, getting up David Miliband’s nose…. OK… I’ll get my coat…
Hat Tip @Noeticat on twitter for the pic
iaiaiiiiiin dale – balance?!?!?!?!?!?! a-feckin-hem! so what he has said is err i like coulson so they can all get off his case. thank god he isn’t in law. his career as defence counsel might be less than first-rate.
at least ed balls getting up milliband’s nose is a change from stuff getting up the chancellor’s nose.
