European Tribune - Comments - Sunday Open Thread

Sunday Open Thread | 66 comments (66 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

a good roundup of the state of play over the phone hacking scandal. I highlight Will Hutton's comment as it gives away why this will end up going nowhere

Liberal conspiracy - Coulson-gate explodes as more revelations tumble out

Will Hutton : While Labour in opposition is highly exercised over the affair, in government it was beyond feeble. The former home secretary Alan Johnson may now want the police investigation reopened; in office, he no more wanted to offend NI in the run-up to an election than the Met. Tessa Jowell says her phone was mysteriously tampered with 28 times. Why no action when in power?

Re: Sunday Open Thread (none / 0)

One reason that it might is that its pretty much guaranteed to end up in the courts. According to Scottish legal bloggers Coulson is almost certain to be one of the major witnesses in tbe Tommy Sheridan perjury case as much of that came out of news international. So their news gathering methods will be certain to be examined.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
