What a good thing that this stinking cesspit is now out in the open,and the McCanns are now seen to be linked to the whole horrible lot of it. Well they do say like attracts like.
Jay is questioning RB on the issue of Gordon Brown's child's health problems, he and Leveson are not putting up with any of her polished nonsense. I have to laugh at her prim and proper outfit........she will not reveal her source for this info.....Leveson seems convinced the medical records were hacked. She is on the spot, Leveson is raising his voice in irritation at her attempted evasions. She is denying the hacking of course.

LE - when you were discussing arrangements with the McCanns you asked if there was anything else they wanted. RB – they wanted a UK review of case. LE - your answer being is that all? RB - I may have said it more politely, is there anything before ending this meeting, we had been going through a list of issues that K & G McCann wanted to be assured of before we went ahead with serialisation. LE - did you take it up with David Cameron that he should get SY to do review as NI helped him in last election.

I've just reread some of this discussion at the Leveson Enquiry and the bold paragraph above stood out. I wonder what the list of issues were that K & G McCann wanted to be assured of.


RB had no qualms about some of the things she had printed in her newspapers about other people, so what was she holding back about the McCanns.

Anyone hear RB telling Leveson that she would not use such a tone, or words to that effect? She's trying to be such a lady, but read what her former husband, Ross Kemp has said about her. Here's a link:

There it is again, trying to be something she's not!

It is also interesting to consider why this is being put in the open. These are powerful players being dragged across the coals, who are intimately linked with senior government figures both past and present. This hasn't just happened, it is not due to some natural course of due process, because we know things do not work that way. For Brookes, Murdoch et al to be getting this public slapping, there had to be some Political process (capital 'P' Politics, not the Punch-and-Judy stuff for public consumption) behind it. Does this indicate a power-play of some kind taking place beneath the surface?
I wonder if killing Gareth Williams was an outrage too far?

I thought I heard right at the beginning of the discussion on the McCanns serialisation to the book, it was said that the deal with the book publisher excluded serialisation, (may have misheard) so how did they manage that then? Does the publisher then have any comeback?

The McCanns' stated they initially didn't want the book serialised but changed their minds (or Rebekah - Gerry's pal) helped them do so. She was apparently instrumental in the agreement with Harper Collins to get the book serialised.

I am not against newspapers exposing scandals etc and putting pressure on Government to do reviews. But this case is different. Here we have two people with a missing daughter, former suspects during the investigation, who have not been cleared of all suspicion. When the Government responded to the letter almost immediately, nobody could understand it. Now we know why. They had been threatened. What a mess!

Far from this newspaper exposing a scandal, they ARE the scandal!

In the Epilogue weren't the McCanns whinging about the Press? Dear oh dear!

Let's hope that the next accounts show the £1/2M from NI.

Thing is the whole exposing scandals thing is phoney too - publicists such as Max Clifford work at dishing out stories that will sell in exchange for keeping other stories quiet. Apparently Simon Cowell uses his services quite heavily. So it's not like these papers are, as they would have us muggles believe, the last bastion of truth. No, they CHOOSE which scandals to run with. They sit on probably 10 times as many scandals as they reveal.

And that's a dangerous amount of power for anybody to have - and Murdoch's empire has it.
