Lulzsec have hacked TheSun.co.uk redirecting it to another NI owned site (news-time or something). Where they are running a fake Murdoch is dead headline.

As I said on twitter:

Whistleblower dies. Laptops, phones & notes hidden in bin. Two Met chiefs resigning. Brookes arrested. Lulsec hack The Sun

And thats the last 24 hours.

It's like every day is another season of 24. But without the right wing undertones.

Anyone else hear the ghastly ex-copper ex-colleague-of-Yates on PM last night and BBC Breakfast this morning? He seemed genuninely affronted that anyone dare question the police about anything, particularly pouring opprobrium on the conduct of MPs questioning Yates last week..

This is the mentality of the Met, it seems. No wonder they're where they are.

Kinell. I don't think I've ever known anyone to use the word 'opprobrium' in a conversation before, even on a subject so brobdingnagian as this.

We need a really swingeing tax applied to all posters using obscure-yet-awesome words.

No, we need a vocabulary thread. Increase your word power TODAY!

Dictionary corner! I do that with an English Lit graduate I know - I'll occasionally come across awesome words in judgments and send them on to him to guess what they mean.

According to Sky News last night's hacking of The Sun was by 'Louise Boat.'

The Lulzsec hack is pretty disastrous, to be honest. They've basically just tainted the evidence chain for anything sitting in NoTW's IT systems and offered up a handy "That wasn't us, it must have been those naughty hackers" defence.

Plissken · **Posted:** Tue Jul 19, 2011 12:11

No-one ever credited Lulzsec with any intelligence, though.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a sense that there's something of the Place de la Révolution going on here? The appetite for blood has yet to be satisfied.

I'm not saying that Murdoch isn't a shit or anything, but I wonder if there would be so much glee if the heads of other news organisations were going to be grilled by the committee?

I think this is exactly what is happening. People are seizing it as an opportunity to try and correct a situation with media ownership which had become very unhealthy. I think it's great.

Memo to Rupert - What's the use of being the world's most powerful media magnate if you can't either (a) stand up and shout "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" at the Select Committee before storming out or (b) build a stealth boat and start a war with China? Just food for thought, Rupe.

Really, you know, for a few more quid they could have had Ted Robbins.

Mrs Brookes, is it true that your husband is Mel?

From the BBC:

Quote:

1507: "I just did what I was told," says Rupert Murdoch when asked why he came in through the back door at Number 10.

Treading a thin line there.

Sugar and Murdoch being very matey as I have outlined before.

In short Sugar made it possible for Sky to launch as nobody else would make the dishes, and in return Murdoch made sure Sugar got his hands on Spurs.

Well, if this is true and he can't control and keep track of such serious criminal judgements against senior employees of his company, then the competition commission should force him to break up his company as it's clearly too large for him to control.

I don't have a personal Twitter or I would. Anyone else should feel free though as Sugar has admitted all this himself.

At time it sounds like James has been to the Porky Pig School Of Elocution.

'A mi.. a mi.. a million pounds.'

ooooo, running the live feed on Chrome and Firefox, just for fun. The Firefox feed is about a tenth of a second behind the other and gives a creepy echo.

It is. She's Wendy Deng, born December 8, 1968 and therefore about 36 years younger than him.

Well played him. Makes sense, though.

Here is my James Murdoch impression, are you ready.

"I don't have any direct knowledge of that"

Good, isn't it.

Malc74 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 19, 2011 15:56

Ugh. Stick the boot in, you dozy cunts! Here's a tip - when Murdoch Jr says "That's a good question" it means you're asking a stupid fucking question.

Malc74 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 19, 2011 16:06

Better start from Paul Farrelly. Nice to see James squirming.

BBC says:

Quote:

1656: Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi stood up and appeared to strike somebody in defence of her husband.
1655: Rupert Murdoch appears to have been attacked by somebody in the public gallery.
