Who Is the Hacking Supergrass?
Rumours have been flying around this week over the “hacking supergrass” reportedly involved in the Mirror arrests and news that the Screws might have hacked another 600 phones. Neil Wallis, who was arrested along with camera-friendly Dan Evans in the summer of 2011 before the CPS dropped the case, denies that it’s him:
“One of very few things that have hurt is an appalling lie that has floated around Fleet Street. Apparently it surfaced in Private Eye – that police/CPS only decided on No Further Action in my case because I had “helped with their inquiries” into colleagues. That could not – literally, physically – be further from the truth. As any crime reporter who still has a police contact talking to them can find out after 30 years, I’m inured to bitchiness of Fleet Street, but that’s a lie that’s beyond the pale.”
So it isn’t the Wolfman. The suspect would have to have knowledge of both the Sunday Mirror and the News of the World features desk…
I think Lassie’s trying to tell us something.
Snot Me.
Nor me. I go Hacking with Dave at the weekends.
Who cares who is the super grass.
Glenn Mulcaire would be an interesting supergrass – worked with all of the main suspects, has volumninous notebooks that he can help decipher, and, of course, could probably use having a few extra offences taken into consideration.
But Rebekah – you used to kiss ME!
What’s that, Skippy? Young Jimmy Murdoch has fallen down a well, and now he can’t remember talking to anyone during the hacking years?
Struth!
It’s not her… She never work at the Mirror to know details of what it was going on there…
Your comment reminds me of the film ‘wag the dog’.
click click click click, clack clack clack, click……..click, click click, clickclickclick.
entrap ‘n blackmail, entrap ‘n blackmail …
Entropy ‘n black holes, entropy ‘n black holes.
The logic is inescapable. Someone with knowledge of various news desks, with the moral sensibility of Judas Iscariot and who would benefit from distracting attention from Murdoch. Step forward Guido, Supergrass.
Step forward Murdoch.
Isn’t it rather odd for someone worrying about press freedom to be playing games over the identification of sources?
I bet it’s yon Mr Forkes – he’s always trying to cause trouble.
PIERS MORGAN!
Potty mouth!
He’ll use the 3am girls as a human shield before he goes down.
I vote Morgan, he’s easily enough of a snake
Hang on a minute. You’re not willing to catch a bunch of criminals? Why not?
Yes, it is an interesting question. Is it not every citizen’s duty to report crimes?
I think re-arranging the words “Voting, Christmas, For, Turkeys” will adequately answer that.
13 years of the LieBore party enacting more laws than the previous 50 years put together, with the express purpose of criminalising the entire population.
Proof? Keeping DNA on ANYONE arrested, innocent or guilty, in perpetuity – only defeated by the Human Rights Act, ironically.
I’m still Desperate to find out!
Don’t call me Father . . .
This is becoming very, very, very, very boring.
There is some huge HORSETRADING going on near the bikeshed.
Nay!
Jeremy Clarkson?
Clarkson is largely a spoiler side-story – he is a twat – but his con nections to the Chipping Norton group / links into the Beeb may have gained him some inside info – which he uses for his own financial gain / protection and Narcissism.
. . . and wankishness
wankishness is very bad for your eyesight
Not a donor – it was given under protest
What was ?
The money the info or the sperm ??
Having listened to Mr Wallis (and he’s been hard to miss lets face it (why is that – any takers?)) it wouldn’t surprise me.
Wallis’ demeanour the other night on CH4 news gave him away – i.e. He doth prosteth too much … and too … OTT to b genuine.
I’m going around in circles.
I made a pooh stick with my finger.
Andy Burnham, Alan Johnson. WE HAVE NOT GONE AWAY. WE ARE ON YOUR CASE. YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH IT.
No,Itts game over. There is no free press any more. News of murders organised and condoned by cabinet minusers will no longer be tolerated in this country.
Deaths?
I know nothing about any deaths.
Can I claim my expenses now?
What about your stupid baronetcy?
I was not aware of any problems relating to hospitals in Staffordshire.
We’re hiding away until the Ministry of Truth is established,then no one will be able to report the story again.
Lemsip Optik on Jeremy Vinyl – dear God
He would say that, wouldn’t he?
Not in future. With no free press, he won’t say anything.
Is this really important ?
All I know for sure is that some idiot at the BBC has lost us all a cool 80 million pounds selling some planet I have never even heard of .
it is katie price,shes gone loco!
Poor old neo nut f*uckwits all in a tizzy
It is YOUR man Dave who is to blame.,,,and it is YOU who got him the job in the first place
Guido and his neo nut breathin scrambling about in the dirt regarding Hacked off…all after the horse as already bolted….LOL
If your form teacher sees you texting during lunch, you’ll be in the exclusion zone again, Mousey, now get back to class, AND DON’T RUN IN THE CORRIDORS!
It’s me Guido
They have promised me a British passport and no jail time if I grass on all those shots on Fleet Street
Mind you my minnions had to hack a few computers and telephones to get the information, but in Russia that was standard operating procedure
And I hired some of those “Private Investigators” who are now unemployed because Murdoch is going down…amazing what PI can find out….they can even listen to conversations from across the street..Did you know that?
Correction
My Russian is rusty now
That should read “ll those shyts on Fleet Street”
Finding the source of the rumor would be a smart move, and someone following up on his confirmation suggestion.
Rumour. The source of the rumour.
Switched to US spell checker, UK is no longer free.
Hey, Lord, Don’t ask me questions!
“Think of the Press as a great keyboard on which the Goverment can play.”
I said “kneel”, not “Neil”.
Yes, that’s $40 in my pocket, and I *am* pleased to see you.
What does “physically” far from the truth mean, Mr illiterate professional writer.
Hahaha, It was me! Andy Coulson fingered me and I fingered him. But that’s another story, not on voicemail..
I reckon Piers Morgan
Morgan is in the States. Maybe it’s Coulson. He has been fingered by the law and unemployable at the moment.
What’s that Skippy? Somebody is telling porkies … ? Strewth.
Should get interesting, Journos having goes at one another. Finger pointing, name dropping all a bit of a hucking shame innit!!
.. So would this be a story that Private Eye has been following up that Guido hasn’t been then ?
Makes a change from the usual childish dig at them.
Not very bright are you?
Praise from the master !
+1
Enjoyed your little dig at the Indie on TWAO today.
Disappointed, but not surprised, that listeners were not informed that you take the diggers 30 pieces.
Just for balance.
Well if it’s not Wallis, then it must be the other chap you mention. Just saying…
If the Yard don’t ask for a certain TV presenters extradition, or if that person isn’t arrested the day that person steps foot on UK soil . . .
Why is this supposed source – whomever they are – being branded a ‘supergrass’? It’s a perjorative term if ever there was one, usually reserved for hard-nosed gangster types. Surely, if the context is exposing an alleged culture of white-collar criminality in a workplace, ‘whistleblower’ would be more apt. Strongly suggests the liberal Press is intent on hanging some poor sod out to dry, when an alternative – especially coming from the Grauniad or the Indie, which are setting the tone here – might be to laud a rare piece of moral fortitude at last emerging from their own grimy industry. One could say it shows the real motivation behind their quest for the ‘truth’ on this one; the only ‘truth’ they’re really interested in is their own.
