Peter Oborne is certainly a dyed in the wool BLUE journalist. He wrote for the right wing organ the Daily Mail for many years and has only recently moved to the Telegraph. He has been on the BBC's Question Time often over the years and always an exponent of the blue message.
His article yesterday did cause some considerable consternation in Downing St as the chap is influential and well read...and as we said previously very much a Tory. So when a guy like him delivers phrases like " Cameron is in the Sewer " we know it will certainly have caused a shock in the shires. And you dont want a shock in the shires i can tell you!
I notice too that local publican and former NoW journalist Paul McMullan was all over the airwaves yesterday. Here's a picture...
He was on Sky News, BBC News, and on the BBC Radio Four News. Much in demand now is McMullan as he seems quite willing to spill at least some of the beans. He said last night that Rebekah Brooks should go, as she knew what was going on and has "thrashed a good newspaper". He openly admits to being involved in hacking in the earlier years of all this....when there was no law against it. Thats how he puts it anyway.
This whole thing has developed way out of control but was there a need to shut down the newspaper with the loss of all those jobs? and also take this the biggest selling paper away from up to 4million readers. As is usual sadly...the people responsible at the top escape but the axe falls on the shop floor hacks.
