Is this a coincidence or another conspiracy theory?
I don't condone the phone hacking for one moment, but neither do I condone closing NOTW down forever and getting rid of all the staff there. Yet keeping that Brooks thing on stinks to high heaven, plus the fact that NOTW closure may have something to do with Murdoch's wish to take over BSKYB or is that just a coincidence?

According to Hugh Grant on 'Question Time' last night, News Corporation have already registered the domain www.SunOnSunday.com. Last Tuesday!
Two things:
(1) I think Hugh should enter politics. He was great.
(2) A business opportunity for any unemployed new media journalists: start an online magazine called 'Scum on Sunday'. Seriously!

NOTW is tainted beyond redemption and they would never get any advertisers again, so no option but to close it. However I do believe that it is part of a cunning plan on Murdochs part and the full plan has not been revealed yet. I think the BSkyB may fall through yet though - if Ofcom have any sense. Hurrah!!!!

Well whatever you call it, it is apparent that recording private conversations is endemic amongst journalists - an audio copy of the talks between Rebekah Brooks and the NOTW staff has been 'secured' by Sky! Illegally recording conversations without the prior knowledge of all parties is not only illegal if passed by the bosses!

Don't think so,there are a lot of decent people working on the News of the World and it would be sad to see them brought down by a pressure cooker management,Murdock and "family" are guilty of putting staff under pressure and can be accused of bullying tactics but they will try to weasel their way out of this situation,I hope they don't and get what is coming to them,justice.

There is more than likely a lot more to this than meets the eye ! It makes one wonder what on earth this slattern has on Murdoch and many prominent British politicians of all parties !
