She didn't get to where she was without talking complete bollocks.
At least it's a full day of bollocks.
Aye, when I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes I want to know it's being done as efficiently as possible.
Also, did anyone see when the camera panned from Brooks and one of the guys was picking his nose with his little finger? That was weird.

What finger do you prefer?
Well if you're going to go in there, it's the index finger, surely?
If for no other reason that the right blend of dexterity and power.
Maybe he has small or deformed nostrils? Did you think about that?
What kind of sick world do you live in?
A world where someone should not be prejudiced purely for their nose-finger preference.
Trust you to stick up for the bloke with the deformities. Your ears don't define you, Michael.
Argh. She's such a snake. You can tell she's wanted to tell him to get f**ked about 200 times - but has had to bite her tongue because she's not in a position where she can bully people at the moment.
Prime Minister David Cameron signed texts to Rebekah Brooks LOL, which he thought meant “lots of love”, Mrs Brooks, a former chief executive of News International, told the Leveson inquiry into the press.
She said they would each text each other “on occasion”. She told him LOL actually meant “laugh out loud” and he stopped using it, she said.

That reminds me of when in the 2005 election campaign somebody tried to explain to Michael Howard that he had been endorsed by Busted, the endorsement turning out to be a joke.Prime Minister David Cameron signed texts to Rebekah Brooks LOL, which he thought meant “lots of love”, Mrs Brooks, a former chief executive of News International, told the Leveson inquiry into the press.

I'm with Brophs. Using any other finger than the index is weird. Using the little finger is utterly bizarre and to be condemned unequivocally.
So, does this anti-climactic news mean that a public lynching of Murdoch is off the table?
Treason is still punishable by hanging in UK, right?

No.
Nope, but I think it was the last thing to go.
Treason in war time went with the passing of the Human Rights Act.
I've just discovered, to my surprise, that I can fit my thumbs up my nostrils
It may be less of a surprise to those of you that have seen my nose

Rebekah Brooks charge decision due
Rebekah Brooks and her husband, Charlie, will be told on Tuesday if they are to be charged with perverting the course of justice.
A solicitor for the couple said they would be informed shortly before 10:00 BST, when they answer police bail.
An announcement on the former News International chief executive and her husband would then be made public.
The BBC understands five others will also be told whether they are to face charges over the phone-hacking scandal.
Not holding my breath.

Fingers crossed, though I've litter faith in the system.
Well, the good old US still has two states that use it, we're keeping the tradition, it seems.
They are to be charged with perverting the course of justice .Just announced.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think she would be charged.
Having said that, this has all the markings of a "yes we spent 3 million of the publics money on bringing charges, and yes, no convictions have been made but we thought we had a case"
Easier to pass the buck to the CPS and, then fail, than to leave themselves open to a cover up.
Brooks called a presser there to condemn the 'witch hunt' and how innocent people around her have been dragged into this.
IRONY ALERT

Video on there of Brooks' speech.
You don't really(well I don't, anyway) grasp the seriousness of it all, and just how badly it looks for Cameron, until you read it from an outsider's perspective.

Chris Hope for the Tele had this article up shortly after the decision. Makes some good points

'It's a witch hunt'.Yep, you're an evil witch and being hunted down to be burned at the stake. Seems fair.
Well Paxman has dropped everyone's favourite cnut Piers Morgan right in it with his evidence today.

Leveson is brilliant so far today. Michel hopelessly exposed. Adam Smith after lunch.
Bombshell for Cameron there.
Fired Cable and appointed Hunt * KNOWING * he was supportive of the bid.
Wagons circling.

Blair up at Leveson today. Masterful.
Blair getting heckled .Someone came in calling him a war criminal.So much for security.
Blair IS a war criminal.
Absolute scumbag.
Absolute scumbag.
Deserves every bit of stick he gets.
War criminal indeed.
War criminal indeed.
He's not a war criminal, never committed war crimes and was never tried for them. Disagree with the war all you want, don't buy into propaganda spouted by the likes of George Galloway.
No you're right, lets buy into the propaganda the government put out instead.
I don't buy into the propaganda. If someone wants to try him for war crimes, then I'll accept it. Thing is, he hasn't committed any.
But didn't he get us into the war by lying about WMD?
