It was good to read Nick Davies's detailed, lengthy article in the Guardian today. He went back through the available evidence, to set out why, at best, the Metropolitan Police have been incompetent in investigating the phone hacking scandal. At worst, there are many reasons to suspect that the malign influence of News International 'bought off' the police. It is clear that the Royal reporter and the Private Detective were the scapegoats for a much bigger issue. They were also well rewarded by News International for doing their time and keeping their traps shut. To date well over £2 million has been spent shutting up the disgruntled bugged. And there are more in the pipeline.
Mind you, the sight of so many ex-Ministers lining up to put the boot in is pretty disgusting considering they did bugger-all about it when they had the chance. But they too did not want to upset the digger and his cronies. Now they have lost the election they feel more relaxed about having a go. Gutless unprincipled wonders.
