    Aha. Aka The Slapper:

    On 3 November 2005, it was reported that Wade had been arrested following an alleged assault on her husband. She was later released without charge and the police took no further action.[27] The Sun had been running a campaign against domestic violence at the time.[5] From this point on, Wade was referred to in Private Eye as "the slapper" (a pejorative word for a woman of loose morals in Britain, and a pun on the act of slapping).

      They all need a good slap, not just NOTW.
      The issue is not limited to the News of the World

      Daily/Sunday Mail had paid for 1,218 investigations to be undertaken by private investigators on behalf of up to 91 different journalists. The Daily/Sunday Mirror ordered 824 investigations on behalf of up to 70 journalists. The Sunday People ordered 802 investigations involving up to 50 journalists, and the News of the World (the paper of current interest) had ordered 228 transactions of up to 33 journalists.

          Not for long I'll wager.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            And now they've arrested Goodman - again

            He's the one who's already done jail time for phone hacking; now they've got him for corruption, presumably relating to payments to police officers

              Heard recently lawyers pay police for information relating to those areas of town were folks are less fortunate than ourselves have reported little accidenties (usually exaggerated to the power of infinity). The reports typically come from the same area town.

                Apparently there are 'worse revelations to come'. Makes me wonder why they didn't cash in on the publicity by revealing all in their rag. It must be bad.

                News of the World phone hacking: Will Rebekah Brooks FINALLY go? | Mail Online

                Worse revelations are yet to come and you will understand in a year why we closed News of the World', Rebekah Brooks tells angry staff (but STILL won't quit)

                  How much worse can it get

                  Guardian are running with a story that a senior News International executive wiped all of their e-mails and archives - twice. Wonder if that's where the story still has legs

                    Not a surprise really, but what a truly slimy bunch of bottom-feeding scrotes:
