So, what should happen?
Arguably Cameron spent ages denying that his friends and employees had been up to no good, finally admitted it and threw his hands up in horror and then ordered a public inquiry to thoroughly look into the whole situation hoping that the fuss would have blown over by the time it reported and that he could disregard it and we'd be back where we were when we started.
Obviously we all hate Cameron and everything he stands for and I'm inclined towards that reading of events...
But... there is a question about if and how we should regulate the press isn't there? It really could be a the start of a slippery slope. How should the legislation be designed so it prevents the things we can all see are bad about the fourth estate but leaves them truly free to hold the government to account as they may have occasionally done.
