There'll be more. After the first phone-hacking scandal, the NotW editor who resigned was hired by David Cameron. - Roger More Jul 7, 08:59 4
- Also Prime Minister Cameron recently had Christmas lunch with the Editor (at the time) just as they were trying to buy the rest of BSkyB. - LMS Jul 7, 09:20
- There's claims of Met police being bribed. This story will be huge in Britian for a long time. -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 09:03 1
  - Assuming they weren't bribed, it still looks like the police avoided looking into a politically sensitive case -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 09:05

There already were two falls guys make in the mid-2000s. The corruption has now been discovered to be more widespread. -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 08:59
