General Chat

No he's banking on bigger sales this Sunday as it is the last ever edition, he's hoping people will buy as collectors (rather than go ahead with the boycott. But to counter any claims of cashing in on it, he's had to say proceeds will go to charity.

He's also giving a message that he doesn't need it...

I'd like to see the Sun closed down next, as that is another disgusting rag full of lies and comtempt for people.

....In his counting house!!

It's a good day to 'bury' some bad financial news - lack of care for the elderly, for example.

Where is Peace Envoy, Mr Blair, when we could do with his services (or maybe not).

The former editor Rebekah Brooks, and chief executive of Murdoch’s News International newspaper, has faced growing pressure to resign.

She's been a great pal of Tony Blair's for a very good while!

........ and Cameron's too I hear.......had a little cosy meal at Christmas Muffy. ;-)

Most of the employees working on the NOTW would have been working on the Sun anyway, so I can't see very many job losses, the same advertising agents in their offices, who would actually sell to both papers as a package, the same printers, the same production crew, and the same journalists, so the only people who may be at risk is the editor...

I used to work in the advertising department of a newspaper, and we sold ad space to ALL publication, journalists reported for ALL our publications, all our publications were sent to the same printers, we had the same production crew. That's how it works.

Muffyxx

Think your right give it a month and they will launch their new paper

Well, time will tell Muffy.
Me thinks this will be a long running saga, and cost millions.

I find the thought of them hacking a dead kids mobile, giving false hope to her family.

Someone just made an interesting point on Sky news...how many of those disgruntled, soon to be ex employees will now be more than happy to cooperate fully with the inquiries ..who,maybe prior to this, would have been more minded to keep their heads down and keep their mouths shut x

4000 people!! A huge number of people to have their phones hacked.
Murdochs son made the decision.
Brooks in tears! Sob! Sob!
The paper has the reputation of brutality! Well, now it's a victim of its own brutality.
Calls from staff for Brooks to go. If I was affected by this, I would want to PUSH the bitch!!

To be fair Mau she's friendly with David Cameron too...she's a very powerful lady ! I don't think either side of the House Of Commons can claim any moral high ground where relations with Murdoch are concerned...they're both equally guilty of cosying up to him and his minions.

Yeah, was reading about her. She was had up for assaulting her ex hubby, the actor Ross Kemp.

I've never trusted MP's and this once again shows the corruption that goes on in the government. Maybe that's why Gordon Brown didn't get on with Blair!

there will be rocking and rolling
all over thre country on a sunday morning now
nothing else to do

watch the birth rate go up pmsl

lolol Dermot you have a point, they may even bump into a few disgraced PCs.

It takes me all my tine to use MY moblie, never mind hacking anyone else's.

The thought of someone being so evil, doing this to the families of lost service personnel, missing/murdered people, is sickening and inhumane.

My thoughts go out to all those ordinary families affected by the thoughtless acts of a private investigator, corrupt police, and sicko editors.

Not all those affected are superstars!!!!!!

Any Editor who might end up in jail for a spell as a result of this debacle will have a chance to mingle & compare notes with a few miscreant ex-MPs - the ones that the now defunct Newspaper looked down on so very recently.

Real bedfellows - don’t you think?

or it will appear under a different name

being one. Good planning!!

Wonderful news. It's just a pity the innocent employees will suffer by losing their jobs.

Hope the corrupt police involved are severely dealt with, and the editors at the time the phone hackings were happening go down with them.

My late father would never allow this paper in the house when I was a kid, and I found out why when I got older. It was just full of vile "stories".

Give it a couple of months ...allow it all to blow over a bit...and I bet we see a song and dance about a*new* sunday red top...The sunday sun....for example.
