I don't know. The second post on Red Cafe is this
http://www.redcafe.net/f7/e-petition-release-govt-hillsborough-files-337931/

Maybe two posters on the first page not 100% behind the Hillsborough victims families but overwhelmingly posters are.

My regular contributor has put together this piece which gives you a good idea of how many Labour politicians were targeted by News Corp, and the offices they held
http://brown-moses.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/news-corp-diplomatic-immunity.html

The range of political office holders is remarkable, and includes THREE Prime Ministers.
Which three?

What's the significance of this speech on Osbourne's in December?

In what possible way would this be legislation by the back door? Surely legislation written and debated in Parliament is the very definition of the front door.

Five UK phone hacking defendants, including Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, lose bid to block their prosecutions

I wonder at what point canaries start singing? Will they ever? Even when it becomes totally obvious that they're going to do time?

quote:

The five defendants argued that the accessing of voicemails through hacking, after they had been listened to by the intended recipient, was not an offence under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

Uh.... what?

Does this mean that Brooks and Coulson have admitted to doing this (hacking voice mails after the messages were listened to)?

What exactly were the previous reporting restrictions on?

If they'd won the appeal would the restrictions have been reported then? Obviously I am very ignorant, I had thought reporting restrictions only applied to jury cases to prevent the juries being prejudiced.
