Watch them all be cleared one by one....Coulson, Murdochs, Brooks, Cameron, McCanns....
Does any really believe we live in an honest society, its riddled with corruption at the very top

Re: Met officers cleared over hacking misconduct claims
It's a very odd situation. Why would they feel the need to resign, if they knew there was no case against them. Why not just hang on, maybe supsended even, and wait.

No Evidence Of Ex-Met Chief Hacking Misconduct
An investigation into the conduct of former Scotland Yard commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has found no evidence of misconduct during the phone-hacking inquiry.
Sir Paul Stephenson resigned in July
However, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) added that a further independent investigation will be made into the conduct of former assistant commissioner John Yates.
Mr Yates was alleged to have secured a Scotland Yard job for the daughter of hacking suspect and former News of the World deputy editor Neil Wallis.
As well as Mr Stephenson and Mr Yates, the IPCC also looked into the conduct of former assistant commissioner Andy Hayman and former deputy assistant commissioner Peter Clarke.
In a statement, the watchdog said: "In relation to their alleged respective roles in the "phone hacking" investigation, the conduct of none of these officers amounts to recordable conduct."
It added: "While there can be little doubt of the effect on the public’s mind about the series of revelations regarding connections between senior police officers and News International, the IPCC must identify what is, and what is not, conduct that needs to be investigated.
"A clear line must be drawn between what is a recordable conduct matter – in effect, conduct that is either criminal or for which an officer should be disciplined - and public concerns that will be addressed and scrutinised by Lord Justice Leveson’s public inquiry."

Re: Met officers cleared over hacking misconduct claims
Yet again ...
Let us say it once more, so that everyone can understand
There is an enormous difference between
"has found no evidence of misconduct "
and
"has been cleared of misconduct"
remember that Yates found no evidence to justify reopening the enquiry, all those years ago.
And now ...?

Re: Met officers cleared over hacking misconduct claims
I've just come back from hospital and having trouble thinking straight. This is surely far too soon to be concluding anything, so what are they really saying?
Are they saying that the officers are innocent of all allegations ? If so, they should not have resigned, which I agree with Candyfloss.

Re: Met officers cleared over hacking misconduct claims
Seems they must have thought the chances of loosing their pension must have been considerable. Especially mr Stephenson does not seem the person to leave without any real reason. His lack of introspection would have him stay "for the best of the people", like his free stay at the spa also was so he could serve the community sooner.
BBC says cleared, Sky says "no evidence", and all, when the riots must have taken enough of the resources away, faster than you name the directorship of Brooks.
Nah, sumsing is not right.
Who wants a bet that soon we also will hear that a swarthy person took Madeleine?

I am sick of hearing Gerry McCanns catchphrase "NO EVIDENCE" and now here with the Met 3 as well! Do I believe there is NO EVIDENCE - not in a month of Sundays.

Maybe the phrase: "we found no evidence" is really true.

Re: Met officers cleared over hacking misconduct claims
And in the news yesterday and today.
A met detective officer, on the team looking at phone hacking, has been arrested, bailed and suspended from the force...
for leaking information about the enquiry to the Guardian.
How did we know that might happen ?

And people wonder why I am concerned about the Met carrying out the review into the case!

Re: Met officers cleared over hacking misconduct claims
Not quite so sure about that this time. They may want to show how open and transparent they are, and this one may be hung out to dry in public at a suitable stage.
This is incidentally my only hope for the Madeleine review. Careers may be made or broken on these.
