12:4891943quite right about the power of rupert murdoch, it seems that even governments are in thrall of him.
no wonder the met did not investigate too thoroughly, careers could come to a dead end very quickly.
if dave did not know about coulson then he must have some pretty dire advisers working for him.

06:3993860So much for the Met police being jndependant todays Guardiian claims Senior Metropolitan police officers were enjoying private dinners with News of the World editors at the same time as the force was responsible for investigating the phone-hacking scandal.
A list of meetings that Scotland Yard has handed over to the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA), which supervises the service, discloses eight previously unpublicised private dinners and five other occasions during which senior officers met with newspaper executives.
Two of the dinners came at particularly sensitive moments and are likely to revive fears that Scotland Yard's handling of the phone-hacking affair may have been compromised by a desire to avoid alienating the UK's biggest-selling newspaper.
