Fear and respect are not the same.

True. I'm old school, though. I'd rather be feared than respected. It's a more powerful, and reliable, motivator.

He might be the bottom of the barrel, but unfortunately it's a really big barrel.

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.

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.

I'd heard about this and want to know what was erased that would have shown she was dead. "Hey Mary, what's... you know, I'm not sure why I'm calling you since you're dead in my basement. Ok, talk to you later. Or not. Bye."

Nope. But thanks for reminding me that we kept them off your *** for over 40 years, too.

Ah, the United States of America. Indemnifying Britain's arrogance for over 65 years.

You're welcome.

Basically, as she went missing, her voicemail gradually got full. Her parents, the police, and some guy from NotW found that out as they weren't able to leaves messages anymore. NotW guy deletes voicemails. Parents and police are once again able to leave messages. They think she deleted them.

You're welcome.

So:

1) Stir up trouble with another world power.
2) Claim to not be doing so purely out of self interest
3) Demand rest of world be grateful

Does that about sum it up? I'll thank you for that when you thank the French for your Independence as a country.

Ah, revisionism. Such a refreshing and unique view of the world. As for France, we consider that debt paid with the blood of dead U.S. soldiers buried at Normandy. For you f'uckers, we endure the lack of gratitude with the knowledge that we kicked your *** once, kicked your *** twice, saved your asses, and can still kick your asses any time we need.

We didn't exactly kick their *** in 1812.

Assuming that's the second time you're referring to.

Of course we kicked your asses. You didn't see the U.S. abandoning their forts & naval emplacements on our northern borders, did you? We kicked your pasty Empire asses all the way back across the pond. We even got a nice little national anthem out of the deal. Oh say, can you see the receeding coast line in the rear view mirror of His Majesty's dwindling royal navy?

Seems to me if you kicked our ***** Canada wouldn't exist as a separate state. Mmm, Empire victory goodness. It's not so much you kicked our ***** more France was a more pressing matter. Y'know like it had been for the past 300 years. It's easy to forget about ex-colonies when people are pissing on your doorstep.

They were trying to peddle their garlic and onions in Dover! We just couldn't stand for that sort of thing. Also they put milk in their tea. Cretins.
