Still No News About Rebekah !

[mikey4444]

I know...I should be more patient...but I'm not !

[jackthehat]

It's a shame that there isn't a 'No News' section on AB.....you could have posted this in there...........

[Peter Pedant]

god this is more unknown than
will England win the World Cup ? ermmm

[Peter Pedant]

that has seemed to go un-naturally quiet...

And all the while she's sitting chewing her fingernails, dreading the clang of the cell door, the Dirty Digger is safely out of the juristiction

[ChillDoubt]

Maybe the jury have already decided her fate as one of the more high profile defendants, they're just agonisisng over the lesser known.

[Peter Pedant]

Of Lord Black's minions - he did time or else they all did time for destroying evidence,

I knew one of the lesser bag-carriers from Law School and if you cant do the time - dont do the crime was never truer....

I dont think they knew what they were getting into
and if the police knew they were doing it and did nothing
you go on doing it !

[ChillDoubt]

I dont think they knew what they were getting into
-----------------------
IMHO they knew EXACTLY what they were getting into when they hired the likes of Glenn Mulcaire and Clive Goodman and tasked them with gathering info(allegedly, m'Lud!)
Anyone operating in that field would have known that what they undertook was illegal right from the off, any journalist worth their salt would.

[mikey4444]

The whole case boils down to not what actually happened...that is not in dispute, but who knew it was happening. I have been following this case very carefully for over 2 years now, and from what I have seen reported in the media, Rebekah and Co don't have a leg to stand on between them.

I cannot bring myself to believe that R and Co employed people who were later convicted of 'phone tapping but didn't know what was going on.

But I might be wrong of course ( hope not ! )

They are all in recess, the lawyers buried deep in their chambers working out how to make money out of all the libel suits accruing from the World Cup.

[Peter Pedant]

It is a bit like paying PC plod for information
if ya want the info - then you hafta pay !

[DTCwordfan]

Course they did - if one didn't, then you wouldn't have control of your operations and would be left wide open to all sorts of spurious claims, inc. expenses. That is not the Murdoch approach - if it is, then I am selling my vast equity holding in News International.

[Gromit]

Mikey,

Were you a big Prisoner Cell Block H fan?

You seem eager to see Rebekah become 'Top Dog'.

[mikey4444]

I have knowingly watched a TV program about lesbians !

[Svejk]

Haven't newspapers always had to 'sail close to the wind' to uncover all sorts of stories. I'm not very interested in 'celebrity' gossip. although others seem to be, but I'm so glad The Telegraph broke the law to bring us the MPs expenses scandal.
I don't understand the malicious glee Mikey exhibits as he slavers in anticipation of lengthy jail terms for everyone involved in this case. Someone called him a tricoteuse the other day, took the word out of my mouth. (although I was going to say he was like the old, knitting women who sat beside the guillotine, cackling ;-))

[Peter Pedant]

Hi Tricoteuse Mikey - no result today - why dont they make them deliberate without food ? That would hurry them up ! hahahaha
[ continues knitting - plain and not purl ]

[mikey4444]

PP...its only 10:10...there is still time for a verdict today, unless you know something I don't know ?

[Jomlett]

7 minutes ago: Mr Justice Saunders - to give him his full title - swears the #hackingtrial jury in for another day...

[mikey4444]

Jom...where did you see that ?
