They have done such an incredible job of eroding all standards of moral and ethical decency that people (see above) actually think what they have done and similar crimes involving drug dealers are acceptable. It's frightening that someone who seems to be so confident and certain in their views holds this opinion. |

Think this blog is pretty com: http://conservativehome.blogs.com/platform/2011/07/lord-ashcroft-why-ed-miliband-needs-to-take-a-close-look-at-his-own-private-office-before-he-critici.htmlGiven the news that proper enquiries are now to be made into News International’s behaviour, I am happy to help those who are carrying out those inquiries. As Mr Baldwin knows only too well, he has no monopoly when it comes to sitting on “interesting” information.
Perhaps it will only be a matter of time before Mr Baldwin is, to paraphrase his current boss’s words, “examining his conscience” and “considering his position”. And perhaps Mr Miliband will be questioning his own wisdom in employing a man with quite such a reprehensible past. Not so thinly veiled threats... |

Pretty big difference between trying to access the bank records of a major political party especially with regards to payments made by Ashcroft and hacking the phones of the families of dead soldiers or abducted children. Ashcroft really is scraping the barrell here to score party political points. Are they really that desperate?

So you think that the only thing that every other paper got up to was hacking the Conservative Party's bank account?

Really? I think hacking into bank accounts is REALLY not on. Obviously hacking into phones etc is bad, doesn't matter who the target is, if it's done by a newspaper. But hacking into bank accounts?? |

is there only me that likes to read the news of the world.
glad you put this ....i like it too but was scared to post the fact ...lol I guess it depends on what standards you have. These people make obscene amounts of money out of trying to destroy almost anyone who is in the public sphere. Rebekah Brooks openly admitted corrupting the nations biggest police force, Coulson lied at the Tommy Sheridan trial and yesterday James Murdoch admitted bribing witnesses in a criminal trial. They have also corrupted, to a greater or lesser extent every British government for the last 25 years. They really are the lowest people imaginable. The demise of the NOTW of the world is a great start but this is an opportunity to do lasting damage to the Murdoch empire. If the BSKYB merger doesn't go through it would be a huge step towards ridding this country of that evil man's influence. One time. Very much this. I am not surprised that the NOTW is the biggest selling tabloid but that doesn't make what they did right. Loads of people read the Daily Mail, the sun, watched Big Brother and the Jeremy Kyle show as it's car crash reporting and car crash television. I am not surprised that it's popular, I am just saying that I think the world would be a better place without it. Out of curiosity Boldie do you have a Sky subscription? |

No I don't but in that article what Ashcroft is trying to do is throw some mud at Ed Millibands private office on the basis that his director of comms was once involved in gaining access to the Conservative Party's bank account. Woodward and Bernstein gained access to financial records when they were investigating Watergate and given Ashcrofts record then his financial affairs are pretty much fair game imo. It wasn't exactly an invasion of anyones privacy and certainly shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as the hacking of Milly Dowlers phone and giving her family hope she was alive. Such desperate measures suggest to me that either the Tories are very rattled by all of this or Michael Ashcroft doesn't have an ounce of moral fibre. Probably both really.

So where do you draw the line then? It's obviously not where the law draws it, what if other people see it differently? What if other papers also hacked Milly's phone or something similar?

It is quite funny how Labour are now trying to look like they're not in Murdoch's pocket...well, I guess they're not anymore as Murdoch decided to support the Tories (Obv not in a deal that would ensure he would get the go-ahead to take full control of Sky....it'd be silly to suggest that)
