    BBC News - Phone-hacking probe: NoW goes to presses for last time

    (Thread title unashamedly nicked from the Telegraph )

    And another hat-tip to the Telegraph for this delightful news: Rebekah Brooks to be questioned by police over phone hacking - Telegraph

      I don't get this "twice offered to resign and twice been refused" crap. If you resign, you do so and walk away, it's not negotiable, you aren't reliant on someones' permission or approval. It's a one sided process.
      The vegetarian option.

        You're beginning to give then impression that you're a frustrated wannabe journalist.

          Anyone been past a newsagent yet and seen all the people queuing up to get the last edition of the NOTW? It's a collector's item apparently. They're only printing 5 million of them.

          If people are still buying any of the red tops after last week (they're all in it together until proven otherwise) they deserve all they get. They no longer have any rights to be angry or bend other's ears with their complaints. STOP BUYING THE F*****G THINGS YOU MORONS!

            I went out first thing this morning. Couldn't believe my luck there was 200 left at the petrol station, so I bought the lot. He he he. These are going to be worth a fortune.

              I was hoping they'd have chucked in some free fish and chips. The perfect partnership.



              [In reality I think it is now illegal to use newspapers for wrapping, despite them usually having a plain sheet as a seperator so not really that unhygienic. A shame as I'm sure they used to smell differently. They seem bland without it. ]

                She didn't resign. She asked them if they wanted her to resign. The 2 are very different things.

                  I'm sure those 'unemployed' hacks will be snapped up by the new shiny Murdoch crappy red top.
                  Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
