Rebekka Wade was married to 'Grant Mitchell' from Eastenders. Maybe that's why she has a questionable moral compass. Perhaps we should let Dot Cotton (if she exists) decide her fate from here . . .

Re: commons debate on phone hacking

The other question that has to now be asked as conman Cameron seems to be incapable of any good judgment or acting properly in this affair, just how many phones have been hacked by Coulson and Brooks on his instructions for him?

A flat denial Cameron will not suffice!

Well I read that on this forum so it must be true. But then I asked the Tooth Fairy and she said it was just a rumour started to unsettle people. What a relief.

On 11 March 2003, the editor of the Sun newspaper, Rebekah Wade, Link: admitted before the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee that while she had been an editor with News International she had paid police officers for information. The information was given in answer to a direct question from the Labour MP, Chris Bryant.

Culture, Media and Sport Commons Select Committee Link: 11 March 2003

467. And on the element of whether you ever pay the police for information?
(Ms Wade) We have paid the police for information in the past.

468. And will you do it in the future?
(Ms Wade) It depends—

By paying a police officer for information, not only does the police officer commit a criminal offence under the Link: Public Bodies Corruption Act 1889 (as amended by the Link: Prevention of Corruption Act of 1916) in receiving the money or other material inducement, so does the person paying the bribe.

Re: commons debate on phone hacking

Thanks 5corpio!

I would still ask the questions as to why Cameron is allowing the Met to conduct the investigation inot their own corruption, clearly admitted to a commons Select Committee by one of the transgressors!

Re: commons debate on phone hacking

Re: commons debate on phone hacking

David Cameron knows more than he is letting on and if he cannot be honest with his citizens who btw put him in office as PM then that is a vote of NO CONFIDENCE

Re: commons debate on phone hacking

Yep confused, we have been saying this for a while. Its actually called the "Chipping Norton Set" Horse riding, booze ups and the like. And still Cameron covers them! What does the ginger tart have on him?

Which is why I believe the police are Public Enemy Number 1 for accepting the bribes, and not the journalists for offering them - all newspapers pay for their stories, but the police could have said "no thank you".

Interestingly the phone hacking story broke in 2007 with Sienna Millar and a couple of junior royals as victims, but it's only when Joe Public's privacy was violated that we are up in arms. Quite rightly so. Celebs have put themselves in the public domain, relatives of soldiers killed and murdered or missing children's families (with the exception of one) have not. Fleet Street is has truly deserved the name of the Gutter Press on this occasion.

Re: commons debate on phone hacking

As for the police I am well aware of what they are capable of and have had a nasty painful experience myself.

However that did go to court on the solicitors recommendation and I was compensated.
