Campbell A, said that it was only a major scandal if it lasted 11 days. This one looks set to go on a tad longer.
The only problem with people such as Virgin, Co-Op, Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Cadburys, Debenhams, Halifax/Lloyds, and now Mitsubishi, ("unspeakable") is that they need to know what they're after. These firms (and there will be lots more) rather than the knee-jerk principle they've adopted, need to know, and have a clear idea of, what they expect to happen.
Will they return after Rebekah goes? Will they be happy with Coulson's scalp? No-one is going to want to be the only advertiser on Sunday. That's going to look bad. Personally, I'd love to see the Murdoch empire lose some of it's power and influence, but these Corporates don't seem to have thought it through. There is no endgame here, and that means no-one will know who's won what.
What I'd hate to see is a change in the law, but I'd like to see the NotW taken down a peg or two. In truth, the real culprits are the advertisers paying for all this baloney they print.

There wouldn't be any advertisers if no one bought the paper - the readers are more to blame than the advertisers.
Any suggestions for the name of the new paper that Murdoch will replace it with?
The Sun on Sunday?
He's hoping that this will draw some knid of line under it and he can move on to take BSkyB. He had wanted Channel 5 but Brown wouldn't let him. Don't forget the first visitior Cameron had after he was elected was Murdoch, and as Private Eye revealed he was taken in the back way to try and keep it secret. So it's unlikely that in the long term the Tories will stand in his way.

It makes you wonder if David Icke and his ideas about shape changing lizards from space was quite as bonkers as he seemed.

The domain name for http://www.thesunonsunday.co,uk was bought and registered two days ago..... What an opportunity missed to screw over the Murdoch empire as it shuffled the deckchairs around on it's own little version of the Titanic.
One hesitates to throw fuel on the fire here, but here is a video of one Barry King, not only agreeing with Ickes' theory about the Lizard people but he's actually met one. This was recorded way back in 2000.
Where did he meet one? Under Peasmore in Berkshire....(where else)
And who comes from Peasmore? Clue = He's the Prime Minister and his initials are D.C.
Read it all in The Sinday Sun.. Anyway if you are so naive to think there is no one watching you.. Mobile phones...Computers...someone is always there! Hacking is going on 24/7 but some get discovered, some don't!

Some folk love being watched. Remember the outcry just a few months ago when some thought they might not be being watched enough by CCTV?
This hacking story makes it sound as if the NoW were listening in to digital mobile conversations. This is not what was happening. The reporters were picking up voicemail messages which are pin protected provided the pin is set up by the user. If it is left at the default as set from new then it can be easily read, all that is needed then is the mobile phone number and away you go. So, it's not really hacking as that tends to indicate that some clever code was used, just reporters poking about hoping to get a snippet.

Are you sure it was registered by News International - perhaps it is some enterprising individual taking a punt?
