I1L2T3 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 But what did the horse know that was so important, that it had to be put down? The importance of this story boils down to one thing: Was Cameron in cahoots with corrupt media before or after he became PM It's the Christmas dinner thing all over again. Only this time he has a way to argue it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzyoo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17194606 Scotland Yard loaned former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks a police horse for her Oxfordshire farm. The Evening Standard today revealed how Brooks was allowed to keep the retired horse for over a year, before it was eventually re-housed with a police officer in 2010. The loan was made in 2008 while Lord Blair was Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police Service. Lord Blair said he was not aware of the gift. Im going to see if they will loan me a police car for a week in august I will look smart going down the m5 to cornwall with blues and twos on my hols :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Labour started this cover up and hearing how Tony Blair became the godfather to Murdocks youngest kid will be very funny. The pyjarma party held by Brown's wife is funny. Politicians liked to be with the Murdochs. As did Jeremy Clarkson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Moore Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The problem with this story as silly as it is at first glance is that the media are focussing on it rather than the very serious points and claims put across in the Leveson Inquiry this week. A Labour Home Secretary was briefed about the hacking by the Met and MI5 in 2006 and did nothing even though 3 cabinet members and several other politicians were thought to have been hacked at the time. The NoTW put a serving police officer who was doing a review of a vicious axe murder under surveillance and used the excuse that they thought he was having an affair with somebody who turned out to be his wife. The alleged axe murderer is a close friend of a senior NoTW journo. The NoTW had access to info relating to the witness protection scheme. New ID's, address's, phone numbers ect. The officer who did the review in 2009 saying that the hacking scandal only effected a small number of people claimed that he was hacked on several occasions and that Andy Coulson was also a victim. Can a person sue themselves and win? John Prescott was known to have been a likely victim the day after they raided Mulcaires office but the Met refused to admit it until late last year and say they searched the info for his name scores of times. For 4 or 5 years News International stuck to a story about it being a single reporter who got caught hacking but this week we have seen emails that clearly show that Wade/Brooks knew in 06/07 what was going on because she had a briefing from a high up police officer. This isn't just a story about celeb gossip and who is shagging who in the NoTW, it's a lot darker than that and the cover up is falling apart. Politicians not wanting to upset Rupert. They want him to write nice things about them come election time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
