Poor Rupert Murdoch has had a tough week... well, he's f**cked now. Judge OK's lawsuit against
A judge in the UK has OK'd a lawsuit against Scotland Yard for their part in covering up the phone hacking scandal!!

Several Police from Scotland Yard were doing their damndest to cover up the fact that Rupert Murdoch's newspapers were hacking the phones of Parliament members and using the info to destroy the liberal parties of England. Murdoch has been paying off police for quite a while but this new lawsuit will mean that people are now able to sue the police for their part of the cover up as well.

This means that the people who have been protecting Murdoch are now going to court themselves, sued over the lies they told to discredit the lawyers who were trying to investigate things. It also means that ALL the facts about the cases will be surfacing soon.

This is a very good thing for us and a really bad thing for Newscorp (and eventually Murdoch's news empire including FOX)

Enjoy!

I would not be surprised to read about his untimely demise sometime in the near future.

13. That's too much to wish for. The really slimey people never get taken out.
They're the takers, not the takees. Murdock has blood on his hands.

5. We'll see if they continue to hang tough for Rupert, now that it's their collective ass on the line
This may be a sudden cure for amnesia.

6. Scotland Yard in jail.
I hope someday we'll see Attorney Generals share the same fate if they failed in their duties for the same reason.

9. The other cop who covered up retired and was hired by murdoch to write for a paper
basically: cover up our phone hacking and i'll give you a well paying job where all you have to do is write down something once in a while.

11. They need to fine the schmuck out of Murdock, and ban his stations
from ever broadcasting there again...or even allowing their reporters there.

Ok. I can dream, can't I? :shrug:

21. The courts don't play around over there, do they?
Maybe we'll be gifted with a story like this:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1047150/Still-lording-Prisoner-Conrad-Black-wife-stop-feeling-sorry-.html

It would be interesting to see if Rupert actually learns something.

:nopity:

25. I'm not dancing yet
Murdoch is a snake-cat (snake and a cat put together), he has shown to have nine lives and can resurface to
bite you in the ass.

No time to dance until the fat lady sings.

He has a way of rearing his head after giving you the impression that he is dead.
