  There was some suggestion on TV last night Diana that they got all this information phone numbers etc directly from the police on their payroll. Clearly this activity by the few police involved is illegal as mentioned on the page above. Rebekah Brooks seemed to suggest at an earlier hearing, when she was R Wade of course, that they did pay police as a matter of regularity and that they (her and Coulsen) didnt think it was illegal.
  
  Its just a handful of police involved as I understand it, although all will become clear in time.
  
  A high powered QC or two clearly stated yesterday that the activity was/is illegal...just to dispel any doubts.
  
  Mr Cameron bit the bullet yesterday though Keef and at least took responsibility for all his staff. (PMQ) But Ed Miliband did push home the point and called Camerons judgement into question, as we all remember Cameron hired Coulsen as Downing Streets media man. A hugely important post for government. It wasnt a good move.
