    Press release

    We have to change all our top managers and editors very reguarly in case plod catches up with them. You have also noticed that no members of the Murdoch family have any executive positions in News International, for good reason.

    End of press release

    To be honest I do not have a clue who John Withrow and James Harding are, but the one in the photo looks like an extra on the sweeney.

      a world of money no object,

      if money is no object then what is?
      the idea of import.ance has been imported?
      do less.
      be more alive.
      synchronise.

      11 million appreciations.
      sounds grand.

    It has been made clear to me…

    How does the Murdoch Mob do that?

    At the point of a FFF?

    Lawyer’s writ?

    Or simple threat?

    The message has clearly got thru’…

    … its notable how increasingly irrelevant any news related to the Times has become. No longer close to being a newspaper of record, the grim little tabloid is confused and directionless.

    David Cameron Is A Cunt says:

    See, even Rupert knows that the public have had enough of this left wing shit masquerading as the mythical modern “centerist” way.

    Now if we can just get that basic realisation into the thick heads of Cameron, Osborne and co then maybe, just maybe, we can see both the Conservative party and the Country start to rebuild and recover.

    Why not rushbridger for the times

    It s in its. death throes so in his own inimitable fashion he can administer the coup de grace …. As he does so effectively little by little each and every day for the. grauniad.

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”

Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
