Rebekah & Charlie

[Locky_McLockface]

Just heard on the radio, apparently Rebekah & Charlie Brooks are being prosecuted for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The tide isn't going to stop there either I suspect.

The charges are as follows:

• That Rebekah Brooks between 6 July and 19 July 2011 conspired with Charles Brooks, Cheryl Carter, Mark Hanna, Paul Edwards, Daryl Jorsling and persons unknown to conceal material from officers of the Metropolitan Police Service.

• That Rebekah Brooks and Cheryl Carter between 6 July and 9 July 2011 conspired together permanently to remove seven boxes of material from the archive of News International.

• That Rebekah Brooks, Charles Brooks, Mark Hanna, Paul Edwards and Daryl Jorsling conspired together and with persons unknown, between 15 July and 19 July 2011, to conceal documents, computers and other electronic equipment from officers of the Metropolitan Police Service.

All six will appear before Westminster magistrates court on a date to be determined.

[Pompski!]

F**k them.

I really wish this is the start of the downfall of British tabloids but unfortunately there are plenty of idiots still paying to have their intelligence insulted on a daily basis.

This isn't just about the tabloids and aren't they mere escapism anyway?

Queue all of fleet street turning on her overnight in an attempt to distance themselves and appear they aren't just as bad.

She's a c*** no doubt but she's but one of 100's of c***s currently working for the tabloids who have done awful things.

[Pompski!]

aren't they mere escapism anyway?

So is self-harm and drug abuse.

Are you saying that tabloids offer the population of the UK, a healthy dose of newsworthy articles which substantiate some kind of recreational escapism?

Corrupt journalists reporting on corruption in journalism. No surprises there. Yawn.

I go to Pompey games, if that isn't an example of emotional self-harming recreational escapism, I don't know what is.

I don't understand your problem with tabloids. What cause and effect are you assuming?

"Health and safety gone mad"
"MMR jabs leading to autism"
"Immigrants"
"Paedophiles"

Not to mention the political backing they offer to particular parties and the commercial backing to companies.
Anyone who thinks they are getting NEWS from tabloids needs to open their eyes.

Your headlines are more like Daily Mail territory which is a particular sub-genre.

As for the political backing, you are aware that both the Sun and the Mirror readership voting habits don't correlate to the particular paper's political opinion according to research? And that political front pages see a significant drop in purchases? For the red-tops, gossip and tittle-tattle sells, not news.

I do find your opinion on the abilities of humanity rather depressing Pompski. Should we ban tabloids to protect people from themselves?
