    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

    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)

    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.

    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

    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.

    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).

    From Hugh Grant's bugging of Paul McMullan, former NotW hack:

    Him Oh absolutely, yeah. When I went freelance in 2004 the biggest payers - you'd have thought it would be the NoW, but actually it was the Daily Mail. If I take a good picture, the first person I go to is - such as in your case - the Mail on Sunday. Did you see that story? The picture of you, breaking down . . . I ought to thank you for that. I got £3,000. Whooo!

    Me But would they [the Mail] buy a phone-hacked story?

    Him For about four or five years they've absolutely been cleaner than clean. And before that they weren't. They were as dirty as anyone . . . They had the most money.
