I seriously doubt that will ever happen. He seems to enjoy a high level of protection, seeing he knows where the bodies are buried. Not just the Tory ones, but Murdoch's ones too.

....and now Tommy Sheridan conviction may be unsafe because of NOTW shenanigans.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-14053649
Wouldn't it be ironic if Coulson was convicted of perjury over this.
Somehow I don't think the level of police resources to investigate Coulson will match that spent on the Sheridan investigation.

From The Spectator:
"What the papers won’t say"
Quote:

Let’s try a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that BP threw an extravagant party, with oysters and expensive champagne. Let’s imagine that Britain’s most senior politicians were there — including the Prime Minister and his chief spin doctor. And now let’s imagine that BP was the subject of two separate police investigations, that key BP executives had already been arrested, that further such arrests were likely, and that the chief executive was heavily implicated.
Let’s take this mental experiment a stage further: BP’s chief executive had refused to appear before a Commons enquiry, while MPs who sought to call the company to account were claiming to have been threatened. Meanwhile, BP was paying what looked like hush money to silence people it had wronged, thereby preventing embarrassing information entering the public domain.
And now let’s stretch probability way beyond breaking point. Imagine that the government was about to make a hugely controversial ruling on BP’s control over the domestic petroleum market. And that BP had a record of non-payment of British tax. The stench would be overwhelming. There would be outrage in the Sun and the Daily Mail — and rightly so — about Downing Street collusion with criminality. The Sunday Times would have conducted a fearless investigation, and the Times penned a pained leader. In parliament David Cameron would have been torn to shreds.
Instead, until this week there has been almost nothing, save for a lonely campaign by the Guardian. Because the company portrayed above is not BP, but News International, owner of the Times, the Sunday Times, the News of the World and the Sun, approximately one third of the domestic newspaper market. And last week, Jeremy Hunt ruled that Murdoch, who owns a 39 per cent stake in BSkyB, can now buy it outright (save for Sky’s news channel). This consolidates the Australian-born mogul as by far the most significant media magnate in this country, wielding vast political and commercial power.

Despite all these incidents of hacking and scandal, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the number of people who buy these trashy newspapers, stayed the same, or heck, went up.
That, unfortunatly, speaks volumes of the society we live in today.

Re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families
Actually Adam I think this is going to hurt murdoch quite badly there is universal condemnation of this whole thing and it is becoming clear this is very ordinary people they have hurt. Everyone I have spoken too today has said they will no longer touch these rags anymore.
I think as long as it was celebs and politicians most people didn't really care knowing what we know now has changed everything.
I don't think a scapegoat here and there is not going to be enough or trying to blame one investigator.
More I hear about all this the more sickened I feel and the more angry I feel. More people I think are feeling the same and will not be placated by anything less then a lot of heads rolling and extremely severe punishment for the company\companys involved. Right now I am not sure there are severe enough punishments for any of the sum involved in this.

It will be very interesting to see what newspaper sales they get on Sunday and hopefully not many.

Could the big supermarkets refuse to carry the paper or are they under some form of contract ?

Well well well, so much for them being the forces paper. With a bit of luck nationwide sales will emulate Liverpool's soon.

Indeed if the super markets refuse to sell it they will lose a very large slice of there sales.
I have always disliked the Murdock's and every thing they stand for and will be extremely happy if this prevents there full purchase of Sky and its channels.
There control of the British media is unbelievably strong and you can bet that his papers and news channels will shortly go on the attack to try and limit the damage to him and his company.

One would love this to be the beginning of the end for Murdoch and his empire but knowing this slimy wormtoad l suspect he will still be there.

That would be his normal tactic. Who can he attack over this sorry episode? There are no dark external forces at work in this sorry episode. It has all been instigated from within his own machinery.
If he turns the focus on other newspapers doing the same thing I don't think that'll let the NOTW of the hook.

The Royal British Legion has dropped NotW advertising.
