Rumours the attacker was UK Uncut. Way to fuck a good protest group.

never heard r brookes speak before but she surprisingly came across quite sympathetically (must have had good pr training beforehand), though the complete 'who, me?' amnesia was farcical. lots of sketchy details overall and not enough grilling for specificity.
i am a bit bored of all the resignations. seems too easy. and i wonder how long cameron will manage to stay out of this. why wasnt he grilled today?
i cant decide if this affair is OTT or warranted or just a brilliant epic tv series (made by hbo obv, not the bbc, who would make a hash of it)/film waiting to happen.

McMullan on Newsnight with Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame. That's the difference between US and UK journalism in a nutshell

So News Corp no longer pay for Muclaire's legal fees - great! Of course, you might say that now that all the stuff they were hoping he woudn't reveal has come out anyway they have no more need to pay for him. This is entirely in line with their defence at every twist and turn of the whole saga; deny everything strenuously until it gets incontestably proven and then "graciously" accept it, promise full cooperation and insist that there is nothing more to come out - until something else comes out. Has any of this full cooperation actually caused anything to be revealed? As far as I can tell NOW or News Corp haven't managed to discover anything at all about their own company until it's been pointed out to them and fully proven by someone else.
it seems like their performance yesterday was mostly concentrated on pacifying public interest in themselves (who are clearly whiter than white and wouldnt know anything about anything).
I might have got confused/missed something but I'm sure brookes was saying she was in contact with murdoch every other day as editor. Regardless of the question of how he was not made aware of alot of the issues in this regular contact it kind of goes against the whole argument he was stressing that it was such a small part of his business that he had very little active role in it, not sure if she was talking about James Murdoch though?.
There were quite a few points where he did look like he (senior) was completely out of the loop but also a significant amount of feined ignorance, they were all pretty convincing though.
