James “it was the weekend and I was on my Blackberry” Murdoch has quit as the Executive Chairman of News International.
Remains at BSkyB…

Ken let the cat out of the bag about Ed on 10 o’Clock Live last night:
“He is genuinely a socialist. And that is why I am delighted we finally got one because we haven’t had one for some time leading the Labour Party.”
Exclusive: Guidogram going out shortly.
Bob Crow is a big fat baby
Horse laughter was the last straw obviously…
James Murdoch is fucking gorgeous!
Did you see Kay Burley Cut Chris Bryants SKY news interview at 2.55 GMT. Now that is how to stop someone talking, ha ha.
Oh Fit and proper persons, so how does Murdochs son take over at SKY? I would have thought he would be preparing himself for watching it from his in CELL TV set, courtesy of HMP.
Cant beat the RULE of LAW, and looks very much like a lot of Law breaking has been going on. Whats the average term for Blackmail and Bribery as I am sure some of the PLOD have felt blackmailed into taking the money
I wonder if James will get more Co-k up his A-se in a British Prison or an American Prison, and will the Americans extradite him to the USA to face trial?? Just a thought.
Its taking a while though isn’t it? I would have expected some one in the USA to be laying plans for a prosecution. We will see some squealing then no doubt and it wont be from the co-k
Are they sending the c’unt to the knackers yard?
All this industrial-scale bribing and corrupting public officials shite was just horse-play.
And it all happened while Labour were in power and arselicking Murdoch.
Did Labour know it was happening and turn a blind eye?
Didn’t need to, they had one of those running (ruining?) the finances and then the f*cking country
It would be nice to know if Murdoch had something on GOD, as he stopped the BROOON from doing something about them earlier?????
corruption is a problem in the East. But now we discover East London has corrupted central London.
Don’t compare us with that twat.
Seen as the left have been fücking the country over for years im going to bend over and take one for the country
pip pip
Harman on Sky has just accused James Murdoch of running away. Presumably in the same way she did after her car accident.
Damm, i liked him as well
Must have been the horses head that did it!
The stallion has bolted.
Cue Twatson claiming credit.
A fat twat in trendy specs is still a fat twat.
And you can’t beat a fat twat with acne + halitosis.
There must be a ton of evidence coming that shows he authorised hacking and payments to bent coppers.
The Son on Wednesday has been relaunched.
Guess He’s moving to Oz to escape the US extradition treaty.
No I was wrong; he’s turning himself in!
Turning himself into what??
Herr Flick, see 55
Great song that. What ever happened to musical talent? Seems they can’t do it these days. Scott Walker was an absolute genius.
Any more tired & false clichés you’d like to share?
What’s eating you, you pratt.
He prefers show tunes and death metal.
Ah! That would account for it.
How about:
Bread isn’t as crusty as it used to be. Bakery is a lost art.
Scott Walker is a genius though your sour old git.
Simon Cowell holds the monopoly on talent these days. Never been the same since it was privatised by Fetcha.
Sadly true.
I believe the correct pronounciation of FATCHA! should involve a small gobbet of faux-prolitarian spit being ejected on the final syllable.
Billy Bragg has this off to a tee.
Guido! Please fix the fucking automod – or turn it off – it’s getting ridiculous.
Billy Bragg who lives in a huge posh gaffe in Dorset?
Good to see a sensible, ambitious, young man broadening his experience.
Can only be for the good.
What’s there to bitch about?
Rats beginning to go.
I hope this is not going to affect the £6M damages payout I am expecting?
I am not aware of anything that would preclude me from stating that I’m certain I don’t recall with sufficient clarity the precise details of the email which may have been received by my office prior to official formal confirmation from our lawyers that would’ve clarified definitively whether the relevant guidelines had been followed prior to the disclosure that there had been alleged breaches which we cannot confirm yet if they indeed took place.
He went to school with Fatty, didn’t he.
Arbuckle?
Not at all like this in my day . Technology eh .. what a curse !!
Nor mine, I always found “the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play” worked best!
just not ‘top of head’ enough to be top head
An order-order spokesperson has denied rumors that Guido Fawkes has been offered the job of CEO for News International in the UK.
I think you will find that he is working for “D.irty” D.esmond a man who does not mind admitting that he made his fortune from po.rn.
Whereas, the “Dirty Digger” Murdoch, is a man who has made a fortune from po.rn but expects anyone who is daft enough to listen, to believe he actually made it from honest journalism.
What’s wrong with porn? You watch PMQ’s – that’s an orgy, on TV, showing explicit scenes of us ALL getting f*cked in public.
Don’t get all self righteous about pictures of people doing the old Deputy Prime Minister horizontal shuffle. If you are male, you know you look!
“Don’t get all self righteous”
No self righteousness here mate, love the stuff, only critical of hypocrites like Murdoch, now there’s self righteousness!
That’s why Dirt Des is a man of the people, loves the stuff and does not mind admitting it.
man of the chosen people too – which makes it even better
My popularity is lower than Gordon brown’s so if I say “Milly Dowler” 1000 times at PMQ’s will that make me popular again?
Who are the 3 million daft enough to buy the Sun on Sunday! there must be some pretty nice ti.ts on display.
Many who are fed up with left-wing twats like Watson trying to manipulate what people can read.
Quite so, but don’t forget it was the “Dirty Digger” who saddled us all with the blight of lying NuLiebor, reptilian Bliar, the nutter Brown and the pocket Liner Manglesbums etc., etc.
It wasn’t just down to the dirty digger. The Tories in 1997 were a busted flush and Murdoch just jumped on the bandwagon and reflected what the public were thinking.
Labour never forgave him for switching sides in 2010- that’s what this witch-hunt is all about.
the world has changed. betrayal of trust doesn’t व।रक.
I await your duplicate opinion of the Grauniad/Auto-trader.
Dear AC 1, !00% duplicate regarding the Grauniad, but hang on a moment, Auto-trader is one very worthy and useful journal!
yebbut its online now isnt it. no need to buy it ever again.
Ah yeah Autotrader.
I swear it smelled like old sump oil and the pages had an slightly greasy feel to them.
You felt you’d been slightly ripped off by even buying it.
I never got the feeling that he was too interested in his Dad’s newspaper business. I suspect he has bigger fish to fry elsewhere.
Back to Mandleson and that yacht??????
Oooh Ducky! you should of seen the decor! luverly it was!
Marble pebble dash on the ceilings…
or was it?
Saw young James in a show where some old man got a pie in the face and a Kung Fu dame bitch slapped a fat boy. Did he do anything else ?
You might be thinking of James Corden.
Easy mistake to make.
Young James played the part of an Alzheimer’s sufferer, it was very convincing.
That’s why he earns the mega bucks and the likes of you and I can only take the piss.
I do a fair impression of James Cordon,
Are the Met Officers, and the civil servants who took bribes for information to be charged?
You’re ‘aving a laugh! No chance, that’s perks mate.
Constable Perks if you don’t mind, Sonny!.
Most of the public sector should be under house arrest by the end of next week.
Taking the bribes was the only way to obtain evidence. No chance, Sir.
BTW
Have you ever noticed, that members of the public seem to be getting older every day?
“Have you ever noticed, that members of the public seem to be getting older every day?”
Well only the one’s we haven’t shot!
Tus reminds me of his brother
http://www.economist.com/node/4255447Like his brother before him
Who abruptly left Citizen Murdoch’s Empire…could not take it
Now James
This is all very hendy
When the shit hits the fan they can say “I was not aware of anything”‘…
“Before my time”
What a load of gangsters
While I’m sitting in my mansion in New York, I’ll be thinking about how Pops will be paying the fine for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, and how you won’t be able to extradite my sorry ass.
WINNING!
BBC are giving the announcement 24 / 7 coverage.
How fucking predictable.
“Thank all the deities of all the major and minor and alternative religions! What a terrible day we were having! I mean..we love unions and Labour. But we love the Olympics too! We’ve all got tickets to go. And all our families. And all our friends. And all our friends’ families. It was so difficult to report on.
But now a story where everyone can see the evil villain. Hooray!
Drop everything else and update the web page.
Get Tom Watson out of the holding cupboard and onto air. And phone Chris Bryant! His number’s on the family and friends 10 favourites.
And get the name of that horse!
Point of interest, how many people have ever ‘stepped down’ from the BBC?.
There is only one recorded instance of someone ‘stepping down’ from the BBC: -
Lord John Reith, (1st Baron Reith)
He had to step down on account of his being dead for some years. The embalming process was not as succesfull as was hoped, and the smell in his office at Broadcasting House was becoming rather offensive.
Despite bits of Lord Reith falling off from time to time, he still managed to sign expenses cheques with alacrity.
The BBC apologises for the somewhat disjointed performance from Richard Bacon on this afternoon’s show. This is owing to the multiple orgasms being experienced by Richard following the announcement of the stepping down, from News International of the Devil’s spawn (sorry), James Murdoch.
I have just watched that supercilious sneering little knt Pesty say, with a completely straight face, that Sky was “the biggest broadcaster in the country”. I then changed the channel.
THIS should work better. It’s enough to make you sorry for the old Digger, really.
This is good background as well

Rejoice! Rejoice!
“Where there is discord, may we bring felony. Where there is terror, may we bring our version of truth. Where there is private, may we bring state. And where there is Murdoch despair, may we bring rope.”
The Guardian
Fair and balanced…
Don’t worry, in 2 months time he will be re-launched as Jimmy Murdoch, Executive Chairman
Jimmy Murdoch, Executive Chairman on Sunday.
Ah, the Sun on Sunday. Absolutely not News of the World. Bringing you all the latest not news stories.
The FBI will get him before that !
I have just been in a brief intense re-education session wiv our esteemed Leader, Comrade MilliWit, accompanied by Brothers from the BBC and Grouniad.
As a result, I have reformulated by earlier remarks and henceforth will :
1. speak as though I have more than one brain cell
2. adopt a reasonable tone
3. ask the BBC what they think before going public
4. share my thoughts with Comrade MilliWit
5. try to pretend I actually care about my Members
Glad to see the I s r a e l i ambassador interfering in UK internal politics
Perhaps he should telephone Bling Bling Blair to get him to do something about peace before the whole Middle East explodes !
So. James is “going to concentrate on expanding the international TV business.
Not exactly out on his arse, then, is he!
I’m going to celebrate by having a big dinner tonight. 984,415 Big Macs.
Do you want fries with that?
God i hate fatso watson
Oh you forgot to say “all paid for by the taxpayer”
CH5 at 8 tonight, big exposé of Watson and Prescott, not to be missed.
He’s a dead ringer for Herr Otto Flick in ‘Allo ‘Allo isn’t he?
That is so close, it has to be cloning!
Very good clip!
I wonder if James Murdoch is hung like a horse?
More of a hamster, sadly.
Sam, I didn’t think you ever came up for air whilst paddling the pink canoe!
Pity we are not allowed to extradite any of them to Tree Press Bay.
chris bryant justy on sky, puckering his lips and trying to sound butch
Which particular set of lips?
On second thoughts, let’s not go there.
Phoot
chrisbryant? do you mean that man who said he was a vicar and then posted pictures of himself in his nickers all over the web?
Very grey knickers, at that.
Is he the one who advertised himself on the internet in mucky underwear seeking rough gay sex with strangers?
Guido
Can I refer to Brunei again
I love this
“The sultan’s biggest extravagance turned out to be his love for his youngest brother, Jefri, his constant companion in hedonism. They raced their Ferraris through the streets of Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital, at midnight, sailed the oceans on their fleet of yachts (Jefri named one of his Tits, its tenders Nipple 1 and Nipple 2), and imported planeloads of polo ponies and Argentinean players to indulge their love for that game, which they sometimes played with Prince Charles.” (Vanity Fair)
The man has form
“Come and join me on Tits ..I will send Nipple 1 to collect you…”
It would suit Lord Mandelson I feel as an invitation…knowing he loves yachts…
Jefri?, that’s what happens when you give them a western education.
All true – and VERY old news. Jefri spent all the cash dragging Brunei into the late 20th century and as a result had to sell his yacht and lots of other things too. His name appeeers in the papers from time as time as he has yet to repay what a court ordered him to. Happy days in the ‘Land below the wind’.
boo hoo boo hoo
if you don’t be nice to us we won’t dwive the twains
Oi! Leave it out!
Where would the workers be without big fat babies to support them?
Can’t help but think that this a typical Murdoch pull-up-the-drawbridge exercise designed to leave the actually-nondescript, malicious, corkscrew-haired bint to carry the can big time. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving individual.
Only downside is serial chancer, Denis Macshane, popping up at every opportunity to pontificate and Tom Watson damaging any good work he once did by jumping onto every passing bandwagon.
Oh McShame! What a revolting creep he is. I am going to stalk him and smother him with a well-filled Pamper nappy. Bastard!
If Watson jumped onto a real bandwagon it would collapse on broken wheels…
Moreover, I don’t recall the slightest smidgeon of anything ‘good’ that Twatson ever did. He was gloating on the BBC World news today about NI. When is somebody going to take this creepy bar steward down for good?
It rather looks like the Murdoch Empire is going to be another classic three generational family business:
Founded by Sir Keith
Built up by Rupert
Trashed by the kids.
Correction
Trashed by Rupert’s megalomania and gangster tactics
Fuck me!
If you want ‘megalomania and gangster tactics’ look at the Guardian.
They are just better at hiding and looking all pious. Sanctimonious c’unts.
There’s trouble brewing down under
Murdoch family overuling independent Directors etc
http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3676812.html
HURRAH! HURRAH! and once again HURRAH!
A scalp! A Murdoch scalp!
Feel our righteous power! Phear the Guardianistas! Guido next!
Ooh! I just cum.
Shurely co-conspiratores are not pro Murdoch now that it has been shown that News International (among others) used all manner of illegal measures to boost sales
Shurely there should be some balance
It is not a question of Murdoch versus the Guardian (which I personally do not like either)
It should be a question of a decent law abiding Press
It has been pointed out that I look rather like you.
This information disturbs me.
A nice thought. When we get a ‘decent law abiding government’ maybe we will get a ‘decent law abiding press’ too. Until then, let rip the dawgs of whooarr!
police horse finaly in the hay dock
Should I give a toss?
On balance, no.
Newspapers are on their way out!
Not until you can sit in the pub reading an iPad without looking like a completely pretenious knob.
That’s why James is going to concentrate on their international TV business.
I wonder if it’s the same business which was up for BSkyB?
Maybe Mandy will throw a party to celebrate Murdochs’ leaving; will he (she?) invite Morgan and Bryant [plus suitable rentboys........]
I.m getting a bit tired of same old from BBC, Twatson, Lord Lard arse, etc. etc. etc. N.I this, N.I that. Murdock this Murdoch that. FFS GIVE IT A REST!
When are we going to hear a bit more about MGN Ltd. – just to keep it balanced don’t you know.
that foul person harman has just commented on sky that millitwat is being bold and and fearless more than likely after seeing her gusset
I have often suspected that Harman is carrying concealed meat and two veg.
Very manly hands she has.
I won an all-women shortlist you know.
Why are women in shorts on a list?
Too much weight on one side? Usually leaning somewhat to port?
In a pissing contest between the Labour Party and News International who would you bet on?
Are we talking quantity or accuracy?
NI definitely.
The Labour Party can’t go when there’s somebody watching.
