I kind of liked the personal time I spent with RKemp but it was at a charity dinner with a number of people much harder than him.

Apparently there's some hilarious Fox & Friends bit where they have the NOTW as the victims, then they finish with how this foreign news isn't important anyway and that's when their Casey Anthony bit starts? (can't search, my provider has probs with youtube at the moment)

xps - I once saw them at...ahem...Daylesford Organic (yea, verily, I walked into the very heart of the Chipping Norton set and ate overpriced chocolate with them) and there was a very nasty moment over a jar of organic artichoke hearts.

As likely as Santa Claus getting arrested for breaking & entering.Can't shake this feeling that the whole lot of them are going to get off scott free.

it may yet happen. also no police arrested yet iirc. but the committee is a spectacle, an entertaining one sure but a spectacle. starting criminal proceedings against the guilty parties is much more important in the big scheme of things.

Was just reading comments on the Telegraph and quite a lot of the top-rated comments were variations on "he must go." And that was the Telegraph.
the telegraph doesn't live cameron though, ever. comments boxes man.

Who would become PM then though? The cabinet is useless. I guess it'd have to be David Davis.

It's Cameron's involvement that makes me think that they're all going to get out of this relatively unscathed. Junior takes one for the team and does time in an open prison, getting let out early for 'good behaviour', but that's about it.
― Servants of the SBankh (snoball), Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
Anyway if Blair could survive after Iraq I'm sure Cameron will be fine.
― prolego, Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
cameron doesn't control events, no-one does. there are conspiracies, sure, but cameron is clearly not on top of this situation.
― so brycey (history mayne), Sunday, 17 July 2011 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
Blair was not clearly implicated in criminal activity, sorry SWP fans. Cameron, as hm says, is drowning here. Surely it's time for Ann Widdecombe to form a government of national unity.

No idea, isn't the chancellor first in line for this kind of thing? He's been very quiet recently though. Would love to know what they have on him.
I had to check the PM page on wiki for backup and found this lovely official Cameron photo on there.

the chancellor was the one who recommended coulson! though that could have been a ruthless move aimed at eventually destorying cameron. he's very ambition.

It'll be interesting to see how much pressure there is from the Tory right / Telegraph / Mail on Cameron in the next few weeks. They only tolerated him initially because he was reasonably popular. If that starts to slip, he might have trouble within the party. On the one hand, his cuts have probably been aggressive enough for most of them, on the other, he hasn't been particularly hardline on Europe or law and order. I'm sure that the whole party had fed from the NI trough at one point but none are tied so closely or would make such a convenient sacrifice. I can't really see it happening though. Who would step in? Pickles? Davies?
Also interesting to think about what the ostensible removal of the Murdoch influence might mean for his personal politics moving forward.
