several friends and me too are finding the long running nature of the process a wonderful and rewarding window on our society .... after the press are finished we will need another focus ... suggestions?According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

Yes, calum, it's been wonderfully entertaining, like having a gallery of Hogarth's grotesques (but speaking) pass in front of you.
How about an inquiry into HMRC's gentle and kid-glove handling of corporate taxation, aka Dave Hartnett's guide to fine corporate dining? Or a focus on the three ongoing police inquiries into various aspects of phone-hacking, Elveden, Weeting and Tuleta - they could merge them into one and call it Tuweeteden?Comment

Mr Jay getting somewhat annoyed with Mr Desmond's rambling yesterday afternoon - then accidentally calling him Mr Dacre - that was funnyComment

... yep Hill the Express editor was a grotesque in the grand tradition eh ...
Desmond is a successful businessman, actually astute in commercial analysis but not terribly bright .... just what the country needs eh, more business people in government .... there will be plenty spare shortly ....According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

Their purview doesn't extend beyond the insight of fragmentation - that is what they got there for: ability (supposedly) to tend their own patch, which is also that of their shareholders. (The reason why shareholders prefer to keep them on than participate in some mythical sharholding democracy, but that's for another thread...) Wouldn't surprise me if Desmond doesn't realise that Ethics is a county, located just south of Suffix...Originally posted by aka Calum Da Jazbo View PostComment

I've not been able to keep up with the streamed coverage although I caught some of Kelvin MacKenzie (and somehow wished I had not) but on Tuesday Ian Hislop takes the stand, I am hopeful I can see some of this.Comment

I rather hope many people caught MacKenzie's display, given the amount of support His Very Oafishness still garners - he really nailed himself to his own cross there, one felt.Originally posted by Anna View PostComment

Ian Hislop bringing some sound sense to proceedings this morning ....
Just a thought - given Hislop's points about the breaches of current lawss, and given the huge success of websites like 38degrees, avaaz, and the parliamentary onnes, is there scope for using these media to pressure for citizens' arrests of newspapereditors & journalists when we see them in blatant contempt of court, for instance, as when Chris Jefferies was tormented by the lies that were pedalled about him during the hunt for Joanna Yeates' killer and that led to his wrongful artrest?
Just a thought
Bet that possibility would wake up that journo who thought it was a hoot when a paeditrician was harassed by people who got the name confused with paedophile

Oh the deferential tittering when His Lordship opened and pronounced upon Heat Magazine et al. today... "ahem... rather different from the sort of journal to which I am - ahem - accustomed"
Oh we are almost uncontrollable in our appreciation of Your Lordship's understated wit and condescension!
[Speculation deleted as to the sort of minority interest journal to which His Lordship is accustomed
