Still hopefully the cops selling information get whats coming to them. If it ends up some higher ranks were involved and not just a handful of detectives things could get very messy down Scotland Yard way.

And as for Friday night and the little blue pill i am still young enough not to need them

Do they know something we don't?

Some might have placed a large bet on it. That influences the odds as the bookies react to that rather than any information they have. It will restore itself in a few hours. (Unless he really is about to leave).

I am not saying brush it under the carpet at all, I was merely pointing out that in these hard times, the Police should be doing the investigating. Not some 'public enquiry' that will no doubt take several years and cost a bloody fortune to tell us the same bloody thing!

Boris said this morning when been questioned about DC and And Coulson. When asked about what he thought about AC when DC had appointed him, Boris said that it was not his appointment? So he would not like to comment before he got his collar felt? I wonder who who he was talking about?

Murdock must be livid now his buyout of Bskyb is looking much less likely

This Sunonsunday website could be either a red herring, a replacement, or just a case of somebody buying the domain in antispation and hoping to make some cash.

SunonSunday was sort of planned anyway, people were going to be made redundant at NotW and a lot of the production moved over to reduce costs, in some ways this has actually played into their hands.

Oops. Looks like a guardian journo has just admitted getting information from a cop today.

12.53pm: Shiv Malik reports that Andy Coulson is being held at Lewisham police station in south London.

We understand this from an officer who checked the Met police custody database. This would fit with the Met police's own statement released earlier this morning. However the police do not confirm an individual's place of custody to members of the press and so we can not get full confirmation of this as of yet.

Indeed the knock on effect has started

Quote:

18.52 More than £1bn was wiped off the value of British Sky Broadcasting on Friday as Ofcom signalled it would monitor News Corp's proposed bid very closely and Prime Minister David Cameron said there would be delays on any deal
