Slighty off topic cross posting from the cricket thread.

But Piers Morgan was running his mouth about the English cricket team, calling a player with depression weak etc.

Anyway he was challenged to a nets session with a older fast bowler (Brett Lee) who thoroughly lined him up. 3 body blows, he fell on his rear end getting out of the way and then got out.

Satisfying, rather see him in jail though.

One of the more interesting incidents in the whole case was in court today:

Hacking trial sees footage of Charlie Brooks allegedly hiding evidence

CCTV footage of Rebekah Brooks's husband allegedly hiding evidence from the police investigating phone hacking has been shown to the jury in the Old Bailey trial.

Charlie Brooks was recorded coming down the lift from their apartment in Chelsea Harbour and entering the car park carrying a jiffy bag and a laptop. Moments later he is clearly seen returning to the entrance of the lift empty-handed.

The CCTV footage, seized by Scotland Yard, was timed at 12 minutes after Rebekah Brooks was arrested at Lewisham police station on Sunday, 17 July 2011. This was two days after Brooks resigned as chief executive of News International in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal that led to closure of the News of the World.

Brooks is accused of conspiring with her husband and News International's head of security to conceal "documents and computers" from the investigating detectives.

All three have denied the charges.

The jury heard earlier on Monday that a security operation to protect Rebekah Brooks from the media had been mounted that same weekend – 15 to 17 July 1011 – in Oxfordshire, where the couple have their country home.

Code-named Blackhawk, it involved News International's head of security Mark Hanna, and a number of security assistants who spent Saturday night in Oxfordshire where the Brooks were that weekend.

The jury heard that Rebekah and Charlie Brooks and two of their security team, Paul Edwards and Daryl Jorsling, returned to London on Sunday morning and went straight the office of Kingsley Napley, her solicitors.

She was then driven to Lewisham police station by Edwards where she was expected for a pre-arranged interview. She was arrested at 12.02pm.

At 11.52am, CCTV footage recorded Charlie Brooks and his solicitor Angus McBride entering the reception area at Chelsea Harbour.

At 12.14pm, separate cameras in an underground carpark show Brooks carrying a jiffy bag and the laptop, coming out of a lift door, looking briefly to his right and then walking to his left and disappearing out of view of the camera.

Moments later he returns having deposited the jiffy bag and laptop somewhere off camera and goes back upstairs.

His wife, the former News International chief executive, had resigned on Friday, 15 July, and was subjected to a heightened security risk, William Clegg, counsel for Hanna had told the court.

"Threatening mail had in fact been received at Thomas More Square [News International's offices] addressed to some in the executive," said Clegg. "There was a perceived heightened risk at Thomas More Square, and a perceived heightened security risk to News Corp executives."

Hanna was in Oxfordshire from Friday night to Sunday morning organising protection for these various executives perceived to be at risk.

There's even pictures, via Robin Brant

According to the report on BBC the contents of the laptop/jiffy (which the binmen handed in to police) were the cause of the charges the accused currently face.

It gave them circumstantial evidence about a conspiracy to hide evidence. The worst possible mistake they made in the whole affair. It surprises me that they didn't consider CCTV in a carpark.

The point was that everything in that bag was very obviously stuff Charlie didn't want the police to find. They hid it (and then apparently got the NI head of security to hide it more) when they knew plod were going to pay them a visit.

You make a good point which chimes with an article that ran in the Guardian during the Leveson inquiry that suggested many people were only following proceedings because it was the only source of prurient details because hackgate had forced the media to tone things down.

Which would suggest not only is there an interest by the powers that be to obscure the most important details but also a profit motive to do so provided by the lowest common denominator of consumers.

Hedgerows, railway sidings, grass verges, forests and playing fields, all good sources of pre-Internet grumble mags. Catching sight of pages pinned to bushes, or caught in goal nets, furtively checking to make sure no one else was around, sidling up to the potential jazz rag in such a way as to retain plausible deniability, quickly grabbing it and stuffing it into your school bag; decamping to somewhere more private to inspect the haul and finally the onanistic joy of discovering that it is indeed a Fiesta or Razzle and not a Women's Own.

Sadly, for children born after the millennium, this is an experience that they may never have.
