Liberal conspiracy - What would the Met get for not pursuing NotW phone-hacking?.
Perhaps the most disturbing revelation in the New York Times Story, as Tom watson says in this post at Jack of Kent, is this: The New York Times also suggests, for the first time, direct police collusion with a commercial media organisation, an unnamed senior investigator alleging that a Scotland Yard press officer stressed the department's "long-term relationship with News International". A Scotland Yard press officer allegedly urging the police to go easy on the News of the World because of an alleged "long-term relationship with News International"? Whatever could he have meant?
