Oooohhh God, just had a scary thought....If "Dave" really was to go, that would mean that Clegg would be left in charge. It really doesn't bear thinking about. :eek:

The reporter who started this whole thing by stating that hacking at NOTW went deeper than previously thought has been found dead. This death is not being treated as suspicious.

RIP.

Not sure where this leaves the police with regards to Coulson. Presumably they would have wanted to call on him to give evidence.

The PM is not on a 'jolly' he is on a government business trip to SA to engage in important trade deals between the two countries.

The Deputy PM doesn't take charge and or replace the role of an absent PM through either resignation or illness and or incapacitation.

From Wiki:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deputy_...United_Kingdom

Quote:
Unlike analogous offices in some other nations, including the United States Vice Presidency, a British deputy prime minister possesses no special powers as such, though they will always have particular responsibilities in government. They do not assume the duties and powers of the Prime Minister in the latter's absence or illness, such as the powers to seek a dissolution of parliament, appoint peers or brief the sovereign. They do not automatically succeed the Prime Minister, should the latter be incapacitated or resign from the leadership of his or her political party.

Not yet. Wait till someone sees a helicopter flew overhead at some point in the last week and it'll be another government murder/cover-up.

Not be treated as suspicious by the police. The Internet on the other hand...

Channel 4 lied.

In the time it took me to take the kids to a seaside disco and bring them home again, the assistant commissioner has walked and the NOTW whistleblower has apparently topped himself. What did C4 lie about? There seem to be plenty of big stories about just now...

That there was an exclusive. To be fair they didn't lie but the way they presented it 'Major Channel 4 exclusive' led me to believe they meant a story, it was a interview with one of targets of NOTW.

Yet another good story from The New York Times on the matter:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/wo...actics.html?hp

Nothing immediately quotable from the article but it's about how they tried to pre-empt the scandal.

Yeah right.

Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.

The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.

The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of the prime minister David Cameron.

It is understood the bag was handed into security at around 3pm and that shortly afterwards, Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.

<snip>
David Wilson, Charlie Brooks's official spokesman, told the Guardian that Charlie Brooks denies that the bag belonged to his wife. "Charlie has a bag which contains a laptop and papers which were private to him," said Wilson.

"They were nothing to do with Rebekah or the [phone-hacking] case."

Wilson said Charlie Brooks had left the bag with a friend who was returning it, but dropped it in the wrong part of the garage. When asked how the bag ended up in a bin he replied: "The suggestion is that a cleaner thought it was rubbish and put it in the bin." Wilson added: "Charlie was looking for it together with a couple of the building staff.
