Default Rebekah Brooks

Anyone following this court case?
I'm no expert, but she seems to be digging herself into a pretty deep hole at the moment.
Be interesting to see how this one turns out.
I wonder if they will call Grant Mitchell in to "sort it out"?

Can't see her getting off with just a bottom spanking


Meantime a live audio link to Oscur Pistorius trial would make an interesting afternoon

I suspect she will get off on the most substantive points

I suspect she will get off considering some of the friends she has.

Yes following it avidly

Her claim yesterday that she didn't know phone hacking was illegal was utterly pathetic.

I think on balance though she'll only get a slap on the wrist.....as Dunk said.... friends in high places and all that!

I gave up at the start when she was whingeing about how mixed up & sad her personal life was.Pathetic ,selfish attempt at going for the sympathy vote.

She will get off very lightly if she does not implicate any of her 'friends'.

Another example of someone at the top of a company or organisation taking all the benefits,plaudits & advantages of that position but completely denying any responsibility when it goes wrong.

I'd argue she's intentionally going for that "look". Afterall -turning out all dressed immaculately with a defiant pose wouldn't go down well with the public. She's intelligent enough to know that many people feed off other's suffering - it was the NOTW's business model.

Sure and with the threat of jail looming she made sure she became a mother.

Apparently she was a good boss to work for, but there seems something very carefully constructed about her to me. Plus she seems to have been able to give powerful men - such as Murdoch - enduring semis for her.

Yes she is intelligent enough to realise that, after all it's her type that causes alot of it.

She's still fairly 'handsome' but putting on a bit of weight hasn't suited her and she's lost any 'glow'.

I reckon Kate Middleton will look like her when she's 60, if you give her curly ginger hair for Rebekah's. Similar looking people with passive responsive expression on their faces.

She always appears emotionless to me. Ice Queen. Although I bet it's tough behind the scenes

Sorry but.................

It's bad humour about Grant Mitchell, but he doesn't help at all. His "Oye! Shut it!" hard man image was proper punctured at Ross Kemp in Afghanistan.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more debate over whether their action was hacking, accessing voicemail because the owner hasn't bothered to change the network standard PIN code is almost an admission that the owner doesn't want to protect their voicemail.

The network is largely at fault here as well as very few folk knew about the standard PIN code in the early days.

Had they been using some tech to somehow crack the PIN code I could have accepted as hacking.

That's pretty much the same as a thief walking in through your front door because you never locked it though. It's still theft.

They still accessed peoples devices without their consent, that's as good as hacking.

Yesh in the same way that a women wearing a mini skirt, and walking on her own in an unlit area, is probably 'admitting' that she wants to be sexually assaulted.

Yes it's theft, but without the breaking and entering charge.

It's more a charge of unlawful access of personal information rather than hacking.

If a patient was able to read a page of someone else's records in a doctors surgery because the doctor hadn't closed the file would that be hacking?

Hacking to me suggests a level of intelligence to access the information - whereas what happened here was a mix of incompetence on the part of the network and ignorance on the part of the users.
