Iran’s military chief-of-staff, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi…
“The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel”.
The last Quango in Paris says:
Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
A new dawn….
No Billy, same old dawn with a new name.
“Finally justice will be done.”
News of the World reporters tried to hack the voicemails of dead 9/11 victims, a former New York policeman claimed last night.
The ex-officer from New York alleged he was contacted by News of the World journalists who said they would pay him to retrieve the private phone records of the dead.
The former cop, who now works as a private investigator, said that reporters wanted British victim’s mobile numbers and details of calls they had made and received in the days before the tragedy.

What type of person will laugh at a person with disability? I am sure most of you will know the answer.
Ed ‘Dwayne Dibley’ Millipede says: July 11, 2011 at 9:18 am
You are not making fun about Ed, you are making fun about the victims.
You mean us?
Noth I’m not, I’m highlighting your poor quality twolling.
That jutht keeps getting worse, an embarrassment to the party.
Where’s today’s Rich & Mark? I need something to raise a smile this morning with all these crowing Guardianista hypocrites and Al ja beeba’s gorging on anti Murdoch propaganda over the weekend and this morning.
Still, enjoyed the last News of the Screws.
pith off! I’m trying to read Harieth’s lateth peeth!
Better them than the bloody US government. What do you think Menwith Hill is for?
Dawn French put me off ever getting up early for a French dawn!
Page three on Sunday!
That should please the religious lobby.
Well, the Vicar at least…
and the Bishop.
……….more importantly – the choirboys!
I don’t like Page 3. But I do like choirboys.
The Sun never sets on the Murdoch empire.
Rupert & Son
(After Cat Stevens)
Up at eight, you can’t be late
for Rupert & Son, headlines won’t wait.
Watch them run to the Sunday Sun
Now the News of the World’s dead and gone.
Rupert & Son, the work’s never done, they’re always list’nin’ to you.
The calls that you had, they’re known to the Ed, you’re never entre nous.
And they’ve been hacking all day, all day, all day!
There’s a five minute break and that’s all it takes,
to hack into a ‘phone, it’s a piece of cake.
Rupert & Son, the work’s never done, they’re always list’nin’ to you.
The calls that you had, they’re known to the Ed, you’re never entre nous.
And they’ve been hacking all day, all day, all day!
He’s got Brookes who’s been working for years and years.
But no one asks about Baldwin ‘cos nobody cares.
Even though Tom’s pretty low and it’s Ashcroft he fears.
Rupert & Son, Rupert & Son, Rupert & Son, Rupert & Son,
And they’ve been hacking all day, all day, all day!
New crap. Same as the old crap.

Read the article; this is why the state should be minimised not maximised.
In fact the total opposite of what the Labour Party, BBC and Guardian want.
Like Afghanistan and Somalia.
classic murdoch hippocrasy – this is a complete scandal to kill one title and then like a pheonix replace it,
and while i am on it the rest of the dead tree press are just as guilty – they should take this chance to clean them all up
It’s called business Dude. If you don’t like it, go live in North Korea. Or some other Socialist utopia.
its not business when you stand on the families of dead soldiers and crime victims to make a buck
if that’s your type of business then you can keep it
It is not a problem making money or journalism – it is the ethics of alleycats
Unless I am mistaken. All the latest revellations have come from NI themselves (probaly leaked by the Plod though). If they are trying to bring to justice rogue elements in their employ then good on them.
The unacceptable face of capitalism?
Are you being forced to by the paper?
No – if you don’t like it then don’t buy it.
While you are in N Korea or Cuba you can learn to spell as well.
benefits of a state comprehensive education, I apologise if I lack the wit and eloquence of an old etonian.
Maybe if there were more ordinary people we would have avoided this politics/ media conspiracy.
Anyway going back to my collective farm…….
ye surely wannae hear ma tracta stats?
better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and prove it.
Oh dear, that other socialist collective, Cuba is now coming to it’s senses and allowing people to sell their houses and cars. Soon the only collective left to go to will be North Korea. Good luck!
I blame the hippos!
Hippocracy – rule by horses, as in Gulliver’s Travels. Unfortunately, the NOTW was written by and for Yahoos.
I never bought or read the NOtW, but I would defend to the death the right of titties and bums to be photographed and published.
Mornin Guido
Looks like your mate Vince Cable was right all along about Murdock and Co.
Nice one, you are either behind……
Quite right, glad to see Vince vindicated.
More by luck than judgement: spout enough bollocks and eventually you will say something right.
The address is a suburban house (per Google Street View). News International trying to hide something?
Could just be some opportunist getting in so that NI has to buy the company from them.
For a nominal fee we can provide details of directors etc
For a nominal fee we can provide details of directors and what they have for breakfast.
But it has got a Sky satellite dish.
Ug. Council house!
It’s in Portsmouth. Probably needs satellite internet that far away from civilisation…
And a TV aerial. They must be rich.
I need that satellite dish for my research.
anybode wanna buy a used squareial?
It will have tits and celeb gossip in it, won’t it? And endless shit about X-Facter It’s gotta have that. Innit.
Sorry, the DT has already cornered that particular market.
Phwoorra! lovely big tits? wiv coloured bits?
The spelling on this paper is getting worse.
Labour and Ed could learn a lot from this, this is how you do a relaunch!
Any changes they make to the rules about media ownership will probably mean that the pornographer, ex-KGB agent, the Barclay nutters and the tax-evading Scott Trust will also be found unfit to own newspapers. So its not all bad.
Oh, I am sure that you will find that the tax-evading Scott Trust will be exempted from scrutiny somehow, just as the BolshevikBroadcastingCorporation is exempted from rules on concentration of media ownership (and is permitted to continue to fund itself through an illegal levy).
But the B-bbc, who won’t be expectd to do anything, will become even more powerfull.
This morning the wizzend old champainge socialust humphreys was positivley weting himself at the sugestion that murdoch’s sky could be shut down compleatly.
And went into serious shouty mode whilst interviewing Beaker. (Mind you, I would probably do the same when confronted by that unconvincing gimp.)
Robert Peston says Murdoch is embarrassed. (That not a fact. He made that up) In fact 90% of what I heard on the Today programmethis morning was pure invention. These people who like to boast that they are high-minded journalists are, when you get down to it, just run-of-the-mill liars.
Steady on, old chap !
Doesn’t Humphries sound increasingly querulous and fussy, well, senile really.
Take 100 thumbs up.
Take a look at StreetView for that address, it’s a little house! Nothing to do with Murdoch, just a chancer methinks.

Are you sure it isn’t Handycock’s lock up shed?
Retribution coming soon! watch out lefties!
Give us your vote and we’ll carry on with Liebour’s re distribution .
Please check out that registered office
79 Solent Road
Portsmouth
PO6 1HJ
It is not known to Operation Weeting.
What is going on ?
I wonder how low Miliband will stoop this week at the last pmqs before the summer recess.
“Mr Thpeaker, will the Prime Minithter now apologithe to the parenth of Milly Dowler over the hacking that happened on hith watch? Yeth, it wath on hith watch! He thhould be arrethted and charged for taking part in the hacking too! It’th all hith fault! He hath let Murdoch do whatever he liketh! Labour hath never got into bed with Newth International! Rethign!”
Let’s get this straight: Murdoch wouldn’t get into bed with Gordoom but they were all over Tony and his cronies like a cheap suit.
It is obvious with even a minor amount of investigation that both this and the domain sunonsunday.co.uk were not registered by News International but by punters looking to cash in on the scandal. Pure churnalism…
Well you idiot the sunonsunday.co.uk is now registered to News International. So how obvious is that you are guessing and guessed wrong?
FFS Guido. Murdoch does run his UK branch from 79 Solent Road Pompey.
The ultimate safe house!
Nothing’s safe in Pompey.
Perhaps they want to downsize the operation to a front room.
Bags I the comfy chair!
Today I will be a Muggle.
Yesterday’s man, yesterday’s man……nobody cares what you think or say any more
I do
If these revelations had come out sooner you would still be prime minister, wouldn’t you Gordon?
It’s a tragedy!
There’s no chance Guido registered the company is there? Good luck to him if he did.
J. Anus Miliband will look very foolish if it is shown that the ‘hacking’ was going on and Labour politicians knew about it and did nothing.
Am still wondering which specific outbreaks of ‘hacking’ occurred after The Coalition was formed. It takes an absolute genius to link Call Me Dave to actions prior to May 2010, but on the other hand there are some out there who thought Cameron was to blame for Black Monday.
Who was the footy manager blaming Thatcher for today’s fat kids.
The address is in Portsmouth – is Handycock involved?
No, he doesn’t live there.
if grubby old PIs were able to hack into Politicians’ voicemail what do they think foreign security services were also doing?
perhaps if MPs were not so fucking stupid they would have thought about national security and put at least a pass code on their voicemail…….
Guido scoop. Rupert Murdoch has moved his UK headquarters to a suburban house in dogshit city.
You probably need to take this post down Guido. If you don’t want to be the laughing stock of the blogging world.
i have also noticed this weekend that the new meme from the left, having realised that this all happened under a labour government, is to start making a big noise about how Murdoch’s evil force took up residence in British politics in 1979…
Oh of course, it is Fatcha’s Fault………
Interesting location:
Solent Road is a residential street in the north of Portsmouth – odd place for the registered office of a newspaper.
It won’t be Handycock though will it, he doesn’t live in Portsmouth.
It is very nice of NI to volunteer to provide evidence to Plod. However, since Plod doesn’t seem to be interrogating the old computer and other files themselves, then one might suppose that if evidence of naughtiness by very senior NI types turns up, might it just be ‘lost’ or ‘overlooked’. Its like asking the Nazi hierarchy if there was any evidence of wrongdoing during WW2 and accepting what they said – that is NOT INVESTIGATING, that’s accepting what you are given on a plate – any fool (apart from Yates) could do that.
I suspect that one of the less salubrious things to emerge from this investigation (if it is done properly) will be the inadequacy and cover ups involved in the original inquiry.
but will the advertisers support the new title?
Business is business, you think they would want to miss a target market.
Bet the Daily Mail or Evening Standard will launch a Sunday paper with News in the title before Ni get their arse into gear with a SunonSunday. Though Desmond is best qualified!
I hope the new press regulations forbids anyone from writing or broadcasting “claims” and “allegations” and treating them as facts. I think in Sweden you can be prosecuted and fined for broadcasting or writing untruths. I would vote for that.
You mean like claims that Milly Dowler’s phone and the 7/11 victims phones could have been hacked are being reported by Red Ed as Fact?
From what I can glean, their numbers were in the possession of a private detective in the employ of NI, which is not the same thing.
The REAL scandal is how he got the numbers.
That’s easy. He has contacts inside the Telcos who will pass on the numbers for the price of a pint.
Did Rebekah give them to him??
No, the police did you feel.
Did R B give them to him??
+ 1
I’d like to see fact-checkers employed by UK media organisations, as they are in the USA for instance.
That would cut many of the excesses out (such as Hari’s imaginary interviews, and the more delusional BBC ravings posing as ‘analysis’), & accelerate the sacking of hacks who were caught publishing lies.
Finally open it would the doors to making news organisations legally responsible for the content that they publish – after all, they checked the facts first, didn’t they?
seas rising 3metres in 50 years, east anglia under the sea or alternatively turned into a dust bowl, himalayan icecaps melting, tornadoes and hurricanes increasing over Britain,………………………….
and all this from one loony professor at the uea and an engine driver!!
ok Guido what was it that got modded ?
was it engine driver?
loony professor?
melting icecaps or
rising seas?!
That’s a very good idea. I’d also like to see adjectives and opinion outlawed. “Ed M iliband made a speech”, might well be a fact . Ed Miliband made a brilliant speech”, is subjective opinion. “Ed Miliband made a brilliant speech and it was very well received” is an example of bent journalism
ridiculous rubbish Mr Angry….wake up…news is by it’s very nature an undefined mish-mash of facts and conjecture…most of which is distilled down to ‘what happened with what result’ by the time all the media have waded in.
Absolutely impossible to control opinion/conjecture by legislation. The most critical controls internally are usually lawyers seeking to avoid libel and slander prospects… editors by nature want to push boundaries.
Bloody Hell. If that happened we would have to admit that man made global warming is only a theory and is not factual.
And you’d have to pay a whacking great fine for telling us we were all going to die of bird flu last winter because you said the Tories didn’t buy enough vaccine.
Stop printing claims and allegations? There’d be nowt left to print! The only thing that ‘regulation’ will do is make sure the media can’t hold politicians to account! We’re being coerced and lead by the nose straight into a ‘regulated’ press. I’d rather put up with phone hacking thanks very much.

And they’re all mingers!
If Rupert and Son are not considered Fit n Proper, does that mean the Whole BSkyB operation will have to be switched off?
How can they be unfit when they could be pouring millions into the coffers of a political party?
Hmmm.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
Are we sure about this Guido?
This address is a residential , what looks like council, flat next door to a junior school.
Not sure if my link will work but, if not, address is found easily enough on google maps.
Next question is, who lives in that flat?!
It’s all a load of old baloney….I doubt that News Corp are behind it…….just someone trying to make a quick buck by registering a domain name and company hoping to hit it rich by selling it on?? Still nice block of flats for Portsmouth particularly like the name “Winslow Court” someone in Portsmouth clearly had a sense of humour when they named it…..
Having dug a bit further, according to estate agents, it’s a detached house last sold in 2005 for £220k.
Perhaps rupert is downsizing?

Not exactly much of a track record. Prospects not looking good for the sun on sunday limited are they?
Shouldn’t that be ‘Soylent’ Road, as in ‘recycled crap derived from dead bodies’?
I have just heard that the parents of Millie Dowler are to meet with Nick Clegg to discuss the hacking of their phones.
Whilst I have every sympathy with the Dowlers, I cannot understand why Mr Clegg is getting involved. Surely this is a Police matter.
I do not defend what NI has done, but MP’s are very quick to pour scorn on the newspapers, when their own behaviour over their expenses claims is hardly exemplary.
It would not surprise me if Millie’s Law came next.
“I cannot understand why Mr Clegg is getting involved…..”
The “Dowlers” apparently requested a meeting with all party leaders….it’s just so happens that Clegg was the first available. Cameron and Miliband to meet later in the week….if a grieving family request a meeting in such a high profile case it’s next to impossible for a party leader to refuse
What a typical rubbish publicity stunt from Cleggy. Any sympathy I might have had with the Dowlers is fast disappearing. The solicitor who is advising advising them to involve themselves in politics should be struck off.
So, will Milli-Boy-Jump-On-The-Band-Waggon and his band of nutters get in bed with The All New Whiter than White Sunday Sun?
At the moment he is running round like chicken with its head cut off blaming everyone else for everything, very loudly and very often in the hope that eventually someone will believe them. They have got to hide the truth in an avalanche of s h i t because it all happened on their watch. Well while they were in supposed charge anyway, I don’t actually think they were watching anything. Apart from Mangledbum who was watching the other young Brazilian, the one that Plod hadn’t shot on the way to work.
So Milli-Boy-Jump-On-The-Band-Waggon and that old scraggy Harps-on-a-lot person thingy get unlimited access to the BBC (and Sky) and make as many lectures about the evil of The Coalition or anything else they can’t control.
It’s just a pity that Call-Me-Dave is so wet behind the ears, anyone else over the age of 5 would have seen this mess being dumped on his head from a great height years ago and taken a few precautions. Didn’t his mummy ever tell him not to mix with the bad boys & girls from the council estate and self-made chappies from darn under?
It will be a race to the bottom and I always enjoy myself then.
Only BSkyB subscribers should be allowed to vote on who owns BSkyB.
Or even the shareholders do you think ?? News Corp only own 39% of stake so 61% can vote against takeover if they’re so inclined although a high cash offer per share will of course trump good taste every time for some
bskyb shares can be bought this morning for 697p.
speculation has it that murdoch is prepared to pay up to 850p a share if he decides to carry on with the bid.
other speculation says he’s going to withdraw.
hmmm. to buy or not to buy.
Not so – I own BSkyB shares and have no wish for them to be taken over by NewsCorp, probably at less than they’re worth.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/8500153/BSkyB-investors-expect-2.5bn-dividend-if-News-Corp-bid-fails.html
You may be right.
shareholders apparently can expect a £2.5billion payout if the NI bid fails.
So if Miliband and labour have declared “War on Murdoch” , does this mean no Labour party member will give interviews on Sky or any News Inc media outlet?
Oh yes please!
That Cameron is a clever bugger to work all this out. At a stroke he’s destroyed Al Ja Beeba!
Not for the moment. While there is still a chance of the deal going through Sky News has to be squeaky clean.
At the very least, I imagine the Parasite Party’s MPs are going to be very guarded in what they say to NI journalists from now on. Their message is going to become very staid, as they think very carefully about every word they’re about to say.
Reckon before a Liebour mp talks to a Murdoch reporter the will now have to have a lawyer with them, they’ve dug a hole so deep trying to get their own back on Murdoch and rusty Dave’s unconned us ,they forgot that NI is a world Conglomerate, they may be able to shut Murdoch in this country but they still have to live in the real world.
As Yates has admitted doing a crap enquiry on the hacking, how many other crap enquiries has he done? Surely no suggestion of lack of vigour on MP’s expenses?
Cash for honours?
The address in Portsmouth is just a very ordinary looking house.
Either it is a not very cunning way for News International to register the company name or someone has registered the name in the hope of selling to News International or to block them registering the name.
If NI wanted to register the name anonymously then I would have expected it to be done though some lawyers or other third party.
Do they register the names of all their newspapers as company names?
Presumably, a lot of Met CID officers will shortly be made redundant as the new benchmark of ‘about 8 hours’ to review evidence is applied.
Does anyone know what the procedure is for discipling officers who fail to carry out their duty in a diligent fashion. What is the police complaints body doing about the admitted failure? What is the chief cop doing? should he not be sacking someone who has failed so badly? Can we trust him to do the next job properly or will it be just too much effort?
Why can’t murdoch just relaunch notw with the name New News of the World?
It succeeded for bliar when he relaunched old labour as new labour; well at least it did until gordon got his chewed paws on it.
FEC*K OFF
AND
GOOD RIDDANCE
Haven’t you heard knobhead? All Murdoch has done is change the title with a few clicks of a mouse, and the same paper will be out next Sunday, lots of the same writers, same printers, same distributors, same ethos, same everything. The only difference being that our Rupert will not have to pay so many staffers. Hope you lefties are proud of destroying those jobs that will be lost. You really are a thick cuпt.
O/T but there was a nice story in the papers yesterday about Alan Sugar pointing out, in an argument in Parliament about banks lending to small businesses, that Chuckles Umuna doesn’t know a thing about business.
Chuckles’ insightful response was along the lines of “you is old skool man, yooz kno nuffink about the struggles of me bros wiz dem banks mon. i is a bizness expert cos the BBC sez I is a genius and the next Obama…”
Whilst he is certainly not the first person to realise this the fact that he has just become labour’s biggest donor means that Ed might have to also see the truth….
http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/
Murdoch missed something letting this one get away – suspect their online readership figures will soar….
In an effort to flesh out the fictitious history of the Milibands, a lecture series was i recently invented in the name of Ralph Miliband (anti-British forger and illegal immigrant formerly known as Adoph Miliband) at the LSE. It was financed by the Gaddafis like so much else at the LSE. Is taking money from despotic torturers morally superior to employing someone with no criminal record?
Pffft. Forget this. What’s 38 Degrees, the British arm of Obama’s thug operation, got to say about it?!?!
Probably that the NOTW is single-handedly responsible for the destruction of the world’s forests. As well as for the rising of sea levels – they pissed in the ocean!
I’ve never rated News of The World but I still fail to see exactly what’s got the media and politicians of both persuasions all aerated and self righteous. They hacked phones to get stories. Not exactly a surprise. And how many of you don’t just wish you could do the same to find out stuff? NOT doing it isn’t going to suddenly bring dead kids or soldiers back to life.
And they’ve paid bribes to coppers – well, THERE’S news! Journalists and crooks have been paying bribes to the plod since Pontius was a pupil pilot. Don’t tell me those po-faced pratts at The Guardian have never done it…or wanted to. Plod probably told THEM to piss off, like any self-respecting normal person would. Instead of verifying their articles with a backhander to Plod, they just make them up or plagiarise them instead.
Everyone has known all this forever – it’s only when one newspaper is bloody stupid enough to get caught red-handed that now all the other papers are trying to sound whiter than white. And politicians use it as an excuse to do what they could never get away with before – muzzle the press!
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their styes with all their backing
They don’t care what goes on around
In their eyes there’s something lacking
What they need’s a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon
Yeah, everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Playing piggy pranks
And you can see them on their trotters
Down at the piggy banks
Paying piggy thanks
To thee pig brother
Robert Peston saying that the NotW was buying private details of members of the Royal family from a protection officer
Or to put it another way. A royal protection officer was going round selling private details of the royal family to the highest bidder. Its the way you tell ‘em.
Good to see that Clegg is back into lickspittle mode

Cheaper than Andrex, but the only puppies involved will be on Page 3.
Way to rogerclemens Andy Gray.
No greater love has no man than to sacrifice a highly paid football presenter because he did not poll well with a targetted demographic.
Now that the NOTW has been abolished by the forces of righteousness, it means that there’ll no longer be any jokes or levity in news or sports coverage. New regulations should insist that the output of the most extreme of the humourless finger-pointing news operations – the Guardian and the BBC – must include a quota of puns and jokes.
+1
They wouldn’t know how!
Still, I suppose the Guardian could always plagiarise the odd joke or two.
79 Solent Road is a residential address – anyone know who for?
Guess that was planned a few months back. Not the big surprise that it was made out to be. Who else was at the hacking game? That Mandy and other champagne socialist spin doctors have kept low profile on this subject. Do they all have clean hands??
As it is a residential address I suspect just someone hoping to sell it on for a good price, and nothing to do with NI
