It's
at least the biggest scandal since the previous biggest scandal. You know, the ones with the banks. Or was it the MPs? Anyway. This is is particularly pleasing because a) it goes pretty deep into the heart of the establishment, and b) it's pretty dark. And c) it's full of delicious ironies. And d) it involves NotW.
Ding dong.

Well, not really. It's being rebranded. As the "Sun on Sunday". If the Sun survives this whole thing, which it might not.

Most importantly, and what this article appears to obfuscate, is the police corruption. Apparently many of the numbers were provided to the papers by policemen
I'm not sure. Is that more important than the fact they were hacking the Prime Minister and the Chancellor's voicemails? Or that they stole the medical records of Gordon Brown's disabled son
the day the doctors diagnosed the disability, and made a frontpage of it the next day? Or that they hacked into the voicemail of a missing schoolgirl, and then deleted the messages there thereby giving false hopes to her parents that was still alive? Or that the number of telephones hacked is over 4000? Hard to say.
Or maybe it's the fact that they did all this while on a merciless moralistic crusade against everyone and anyone? I honestly haven't figured it out yet. No hurry, as this has probably a couple more years to run. Happy days.
