re: NotW phone hacking allegations: Milly Dowler, Soham, 7/7, dead soldiers' families...
I have for the last 30 + years hated what his newspapers have done to the UK and how they have made us a divisive society.

I do not think that it would do anything to SKY.

Being reported on Sky at the moment:- Latest victim revealed - Police inform Chancellor George Osborne his name and number appear on notes kept by Glenn Mulcaire.

It just gets worse?
I have just read this and it looks like it is not just the newspapers that are getting it as well. It seems that anything associated with Murdoch is starting to become toxic, IMO

Mumsnet has pulled a Sky promotion from its website after members voiced concern over its associations with a Murdoch-owned organisation in the wake of the latest hacking claims. "We have cut off in its prime a campaign that Sky were running on our site," co-founder Justine Roberts said. "They were paying for an advertising campaign on Mumsnet which we have pulled because our members didn't want us to be doing business with a Murdoch enterprise on the back of the Milly Dowler/News of the World allegations."

ahh as if the bilge pumps at **** central aren't already working flat-out. Had a feeling they'll have upset someone near the top hence files are being opened and all the muck is being exposed to the wash. I wonder who else's troughs their snouts have been in.

Now it is really sick.

Phones owned by relatives of dead UK soldiers were allegedly hacked by the News of the World, a national newspaper reports.
The Daily Telegraph claims the phone numbers of relatives of dead were found in the files of private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.

Terrible
I think it's wonderful so many are pulling their ads though, If more people stopped doing business with "types" like news international, this planet as a whole would be much better off.

If that paper continues to exist after this i will be extremely surprised. Anyone continuing to buy that paper needs to have a long hard look at themselves. The only way to punish that paper is to never buy it again.
Murdock needs to be punished financially and legally over this.
