Gone.

Not that I ever read it, but I might buy the last ever copy on Sunday. It might be worth a bit in 50 years.

Or I might wipe my arse with it.

Is it official now?

Horrible horrible people.

What goes around, comes around, serves them right, and to think that they were calling for MPs to get he chop over misspent funding

My heart bleeds

I hate the fact that they deem this "hacking"..Most peoples concept of hacking is phone bugging and listening in on convos.. Which it is far from.. This is simply going onto the remote answerphone number, putting in the default pin as most people cba to change it and boom your in..

On a side note again, to listen in on a phone conversation on a mobile network is epically hard, the equipment needed to crack the algorithms are pretty awesome. Its not like the old tapping of the line with analog signals...

nevertheless it is still a massive invasion of privacy... they were deleting messages off Milly Dowler's phone when she went missing when her inbox was full.. so that they could listen to further recordings from subsequent phone calls. Milly's family and the police thought that it was Milly accessing her phone.

The Police would have known who, and where her phone was accessed from! this is going to drop the Police in the sh!t!
