What is interesting is it only started gaining steam during this present Con/Dem government; What happened differently now to make the investigation go ahead where before it just 'stopped'. As far as I see it we have a different goverenment leadership, but people in charge of everything else is the same. So why now? What else changed barring the government? Was it indeed the change in government that made the difference? And if so, was it because of corruption in the former government?

Cameron has been cosying up to New International for ages and is a personal friend of Rebekah Wade's and Elisabeth Murdoch
they all live within a few hundred yards of each other, and they all have known about this for ages
The Guardian has been pushing this story, along with the New York Times and it just refuses to go away
I remember listening to a commentator -- years ago when the story was just a tiny bit about Prince Williams voice mail
The commentator said “mark my words this story will run and run – it is a massive story”

Thats kind of my point; Something doesn't quite stack up; Something within our police/politics must have happened to finally get the ball rolling. Because up til this point all attempts at getting it to roll had failed as too many people at the top stopped it in its tracks.
I don't think the other tabloids have enough leverage unless something else changed.

Of course the police lead a Luke warm inquiry; they are up to their armpits in it, I bet a few coppers have nice Villas in spain paid for by the NOTW
i think it just got to big, with too many people involved, and when it started to affect ordinary people aka the Dowlers
it has gone from being some sort of local "Westminster media village" story of little interest outside the Media/Political class to one that interest everyone
nothing can be worse than losing a child - nothing, and NOTW callous treatment of the Dowlers beggars belief

I have always hated these dirty little 'news' papers. I'm amazed people still buy them.
They never tell the truth but present the rumour.
I would say they had a hand to play in the last recession by having headlines such as 'We're all doomed!'.
Nope, still here, still alive and still eating.
This is one massive can of worms that is about to open up. There must be 1000's of people in powerful positions that have sold stories to NOTW and the associated press.
Hopefully, heads will roll and RM will be banged up.

A related article. It's about Hugh Grant, who I can see many won't have sympathy for considering the other phone hack cases, but he has a point that this should be stopped from happening to anyone. And his last comment made me laugh..

apparently News International has announced she was holiday at the time of the Dowler and Soham hacking
the "on holiday" excuse is a well know tactic in Fleet street for avoiding the blame
insiders are incredulous New International have actually come out with it

Sorry, but if the editor has no idea of where/how a story was come by then what are they doing in the role? In this case it's to be Rupe's golden girl and he's backing her to the hilt so far. Probably 'cos she knows where some of his bodies are buried!

What makes it worse is the Police corruption; During the Labour rule even Prescott was silenced into toeing the line despite being a victim of it.
Police invetigations mysteriously stopped. Yet today, evidence of the hacking was already in police hands, and had been for years....yet nothing was done. Everything just went very quiet.
Someone somewhere supressed that investigation and put it on ice. Was it an associate of Murdoch? Was it a Labour peer in Murdoch's pocket? Was it the upper ranks of the Police in the pocket of Murdoch?
What is interesting is it only started gaining steam during this present Con/Dem government; What happened differently now to make the investigation go ahead where before it just 'stopped'. As far as I see it we have a different goverenment leadership, but people in charge of everything else is the same. So why now? What else changed barring the government? Was it indeed the change in government that made the difference? And if so, was it because of corruption in the former government?
This goes far deeper than the morals of hacking the phone of a dead teenager. It goes straight to the top of the NOTW and its owners who up until recently flatly denied anything happened and only just now admitting and co-operating (damage limitation? ), it also highlights corruption in the higher ranks of our police, and our politicians.
Editors need to go to jail. Ignorance is not an excuse; and those excuses were a lie anyway. Same with police officials that halted the original investigations. Doubt that'll happen though

What is going on these days...surely there is no way that they can justify that sort of behaviour.

Looks like they're shuting NOTW down after this sunday 
You made your bed you dirty scum, now lay on it.
I wonder if the last edition will be called End Of The World

And the Sun will no doubt go 7 days a week.
168 years and the biggest selling paper on the planet gone, I'd still like to see the person at the NOTW responsible or sanctioning the hacks to be brought to justice.
