news?

[gina32]

is anything else going on in the world, because if the tv and papers are anything to go by the answer is no!

[anotheoldgit]

Yes,

/// Nurse, 26, arrested for murder of three patients who died after drips were tampered with.///

/// A top school bars three pupils, 13, over whisky and sex in sandpit.///

Take your pick.

Yep, I sympathise. It is particularly frustrating to see Sky and BBC News in particular concentrate so much on single issues, important though they may be.
I suppose they take the view that most people don't care about what is going on in the wide world, and they are probably right.

there's plenty on TV, in the papers and online. You just have to be prepared to turn to page 2, or come back to the telly in 15 minutes, or click on something else.

apparently george michael is in the news again.

can you guess what he did....... ?

[anotheoldgit]

There should have been a special 'TOPIC' section raised, where all these phone hacking posts could have been placed, so that the whole of the 'NEWS' section isn't swamped by repetitive threads, as it is at the moment.

All true apart from the "come back to the telly in 15 mins" bit :-)

SEX IN A SANDPIT - thats just asking for trouble

[ichkeria]

OK I'll just start a topic about next year's French Presidential election, or another about the Russian one, and see how many replies come back :-)

Can someone tell me why the labour leader is keeping on about the phone hacking so much and blaming the ones in power now for everything that has happened . I know it is all coming to the boil now, but didn't it all happen when his party was in power. I am not for any particular party but isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black and as gina says isn't there anything else going on in the world.

Or what about the crisis in East Africa? And we're worrying about a few phonecalls that someone might have intercepted.

The reason is very simple Andy Coulson - Meetings with Murdoch - The take over of Sky. In short was there corruption. I suspect the Milliband will keep on until he gets an ansewr to the question.

what Labour's chiefly keeping on about is Cameron hiring someone who may have been involved in corrupting police; even Blair for all his sins didn't do that. It reflects bad judgment on his part. I suspect both sides agree the power of media moguls needs to be curtailed, but the coalition was about to wave through the takeover of Sky, which would have made it much worse. I hope something is done about this.
