"Do you really think that hacking only happened on the News of the World?" he said. "Ask Dominic Mohan, the current editor of the Sun. He used to joke about lax security at Vodafone when he attended celebrity parties. Ask the editor of the Sun if he thinks Rupert Murdoch's contagion has spread to other newspapers. If he gives you an honest answer, he'll tell you it's only a matter of time before we find the Sun in the evidence file of the convicted private investigator that hacked Milly Dowler's phone."This month we learn that journalists at the Times are affected by this scandal. The paper is shutting down its BlackBerry phone network – I hope they aren't deleting the records."

In a 2001 Vanity Fair story about Liz [Murdoch] and [husband Matthew] Freud’s courtship, Freud was quoted openly mocking Rupert. The article infuriated Rupert. A story later circulated through Freud’s London office that one night, Freud got home and couldn’t get a signal on his TV. When he called the BSkyB customer-service line to ask about the problem, the representative responded coldly, “We’ve been instructed not to turn on this account.”

The News of the World hired a specialist private investigator to run covert surveillance on two of the lawyers representing phone-hacking victims as part of an operation to put pressure on them to stop their work.The investigator secretly videoed Mark Lewis and Charlotte Harris as well as family members and associates. Evidence suggests this was part of an attempt to gather evidence for false smears about their private lives.

Tom Mockridge, the chief executive of News International ... addressed The Sun's journalists to explain why News International was supplying the Metropolitan Police with information about the activities of staff. He warned them that without the company's co-operation – and that of its staff – police officers would be entering the newsroom with search warrants....At the end of the address, Mr Mohan and Mr Mockridge asked for questions. There were none and staff walked away in silence. "People felt like they were watching the end of The Sun," said one.

Would Prince William write to FIFA on behalf of the Scotland team wearing poppies? No. Cos he thinks ENGLAND won the war.
I'd love to slide a samurai sword up Prince William's arse to the hilt, then yank it towards me like a door that won't fucking open.
I don't gie a fuck if Prince William's the president of the English football whatever it is, we're talkin poppies here.
Absolutely fuck England and its royal wee family living it up while pensioners freeze to death.
England voted in the Tories KNOWING what would happen, just like Germany voted in the Nazis KNOWING what would happen. SAME PEOPLE.
To my mind, there is no difference between what's going on in England right now and Nazi Germany.
When England voted Tory they voted to plunge all people of Scotland, including the English here, into darkness, squalor and the common cold.
This is fucking excellent, I've got a shower of Tory cunts coming after me, retweeting everything.
This is the best night of my life so far.

*moan moan whinge whinge*
"The Sun boys are feeling very threatened and demoralised by all of this," Irvine told Sky News.
