News of the World - part 2 - phone tapping

"What is given with one hand is taken away with the other."

After winning the Tommy Sheridan appeal - see separate post - the NOTW is now under reinvestigation by the Metropolitan Police re widespread phone hacking.

This has been investigated once before but the difference this time is that Ian Edmonson, Head of News at NOTW has been sacked and the new evidence the police are looking at appears to have come directly from the paper.

While celebrities such as Sienna Miller and Steve Coogan are perhaps satisfied at this turn of events it is not know what Rupert Murdoch, owner of News International and therefore NOTW proprietor has to say.

Possible he has retreated to his his secret hideaway in a hollowed out volcano and is lining up minions to be ceremonially flogged.
