London police Commissioner quits without regrets
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has resigned following the phone hacking scandal.
Britain’s most senior police officer has faced criticism for hiring former News of the World executive Neil Wallis – who was questioned by police investigating hacking – as an adviser.
Sir Paul said his links to the journalist could hamper investigations. He said there were lessons to be learned from the affair, but he was leaving with his integrity intact.
He also said he had no knowledge of the extent of the phone hacking.

My comment:
Paul Stephenson say that there is nothing to be learned from the affair.
That is an interesting statement.
I guess He feels it is ok that the Police has corrupted its ways, and acts like a doormat for money makers like Ruppert Murdoc?
Another way to read this comment, is that media rats and police officers must continue to work together in the future. Only without the leadership of Stephenson.
Fools are fools, even when they have been knighted by the Queen, call them self sir’s, and have a nice title on their business cards.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Maybe a year or two in prison, would make Stephenson understand what took place on his guard?

Cameron in the pocket of the Murdoch’s
David Cameron met Rupert Murdoch’s executives on no fewer than 26 occasions in just over a year.
The scale of private links between David Cameron and News International was exposed for the first time last night, with the Prime Minister shown to have met Rupert Murdoch’s executives on no fewer than 26 occasions in just over a year since he entered Downing Street.
Rebekah Brooks, who resigned yesterday as chief executive of Mr Murdoch’s Wapping titles over the escalating scandal, is the only person Mr Cameron has invited twice to Chequers.
This is a privilege not extended even to the most senior members of his Cabinet.
James Murdoch, News Corp’s chairmanin Europe and the man responsible for pushing through the BSkyB bid, was a guest at the Prime Minister’s official country residence eight months ago.
And the former NOTW editor Andy Coulson – who was arrested this week in connection with police corruption and phone hacking – was invited by Mr Cameron to spend a private weekend at Chequers as recently as March.

My comment:
To wine and dine with criminals, is not going to win votes for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
There have been many warnings. But David Cameron did not see the writing on the wall. He had to see the media scandal blowing right in front of his own face, before He understood.
Not exactly a sign that the UK have an independent and wise Prime Minister. The intermingling of the Global elite is surely not a secret. But David Cameron just gave the corrupt snobs a fresh ugly face.
Former UK PM: Rupert Murdoch worked with criminals
Former UK PM Brown says News International worked with criminals.
Ex British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Tuesday accused Rupert Murdoch’s News International media group of using criminals.
Brown accused the corporation to illegally obtain information about his private life and of the shock he felt when it published a story about his baby’s ill health.
He said the Sunday Times newspaper had obtained access to his building society account and other personal files.
Brown also said he had seen evidence collated by the Guardian newspaper that News International were using known criminals to obtain private information.
“My tax returns went missing at one point, medical records have been broken into. I don’t know how all this happened but I do know … that in two of these instances there is absolute proof that News International was involved in hiring people to get this information,” he said in a BBC television interview.
“And I do know also that the people that they work with are criminals, criminals with records, criminals who sometimes have records of violence as well as records of fraud.”
He said he was devastated when told in 2006 by News International’s Sun newspaper that it was to publish a story that his newborn son Fraser had cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease which often leads to an early death for the sufferer.
The Sun was edited at the time by Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of News International, the UK arm of the News Corp media empire.

My comment:
The moral decay of the Post Christian western societies is a tragedy. Those who bell the culprits face an uphill task.
The major criminals have intermingled between the editorial offices and the Prime Ministers office. On day they are editors paid by Ruppert Murdoch, the vert next head of staff at 10 Downing Street.
The Global elite known how to protect each other. After the worst storm is over, nothing will have changed. No one have been sentenced to 10 years in prison. The main culprit’s have just been suspended, and the rotten cards will be reshuffled and distributed.
