News International phone-hacking trial

[teamsaint]

No smoke without fire
Nothing to fear nothing to hide
and i'm sure there will be justice Peester

(I wasn't being serious ....... but it would be nice to have justice wouldn't it ? ....... I feel the Chumba's coming on )

ASda warehouses would be a very good place to start with creative punishments for these people, after due process, of course.

Not on the fork lifts, that would be WAY too much fun. No the cold outdoor, finger shredding crap jobs. on zero pay. (which it nearly is anyway I suppose).

Charming ... even if she's innocent?

But scotty - if she's done nothing wrong, she has nothing to fear, remember?!

Gotcha!

[amateur51]

We have to presume she's innocent, whatever we may think (as the good judge said), and decide this case solely on the evidence and the arguments that [we] hear in court..

He further directed the jurors not to use social media such as Twitter or Facebook to talk about it. I believe he advised them particularly to be on their guard against the Radio 3 Forum.

Which is why I praised him far too highly for scotty's comfort, jean

And for really serious crimes....cleaning out the deep fat fryers and fat traps at MacDonalds....

Are we taking the Sun now instead of the Guardian, amsey ... ?

The lady herself will know whether she has really anything to fear or not.

Anyway, the trial has now begun so let's just shut up about it until it's over in Spring 2014.

After all, that's what the judge to whom you gave stunning 'top marks' specifically requested.

Hell hath no fury, eh scotty?

one part of the reporting mystifies me every time I read it - quote

"The court has heard that three former News of the World journalists, who are not on trial, as well as Mulcaire, had pleaded guilty to phone-hacking charges"

so, if I'm allowed to ask, what is their position at the moment ? are they in prison ? or appearing as witnesses in this trial ?

[Richard Barrett]

before your creative life, were you ever a sales director, by any chance?

Ummm... not exactly, though I did work at a gentlemen's outfitters one summer during my student years.

Then it really REALLY shouldn't! This is Richard Barrett whom we're talking about here!

Elgar the customer, is the vision, clearly !!

Really? How so, pray?...

Really? How so, pray?...

Well, the concept of a Gentleman's outfitters, combined with a musical context surely leads us inexorably to a vision of Elgar, surely?

well it does me.

But its friday, and the weekend is on my mind.

(just listened to some RB, perhaps that had something to do with it......)
