Well, you would have thought that having had Coulson at the heart of government reading top secret documents without full security clearance and Jeremy Cunt, the Hulture Secretary, determined to be cheerleader in chief for the Murdoch bid for BSKyB, the Tories might have decided to keep well clear of Murdoch for awhile. After all, Coulson is being charged with phone hacking a murdered girl's phone and Rebecca Brooks, if found guilty on her raps, could be doing a lengthy stretch.

This is especially true given that the Met deputy assistant commissioner leading the police phone-hacking inquiry, Sue Akers, confirmed last week in evidence to the Leveson inquiry that police were taking advice on potential corporate charges against News International and its directors from the Crown Prosecution Service.

Well forumites you would be totally wrong to assume that Murdoch would be kept at arms length by our esteemed government.

Here is Hunt welcoming Murdoch at a "chance" meeting at the Olympics. And who had invited Murdoch? Well, one Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.
And what role does Boris Johnson have for the Met Police and Sue Akers?

Well, Boris is only responsible for "holding the Met and Sue Akers to account". Oh, so as long as the decision on criminal charges against News International and its directors is impartial, then!!

And so it goes on from government to government like the passing of a suitcase full of dodgy fivers.

Ah well at least he isn't shaking hands with a mass murdering tyrant.

Your post is what we tend to call a "non sequitur" in Blackpool, but yes, politicians are indeed a rum lot. Lots of politicians have shaken lots of hands of dictators over the decades.

Perhaps you can start your own thread going back in history with pictures of Margaret Thatcher shaking the hand of a variety of dictators e.g. Pinochet, a retired dicator being invited for afternoon tea and crumpets or maybe Chamberlain's wife making cupcakes for Mr. Hitler (I made that bit up).

THe point I am making is that when there are a number of criminal cases about to come to court later this year against senior executives of News International and the MEt is considering bringing corporate criminal charges against News International for "neglect of duty" as part of an ongoing criminal investigation in which Murdoch and his son may well feature, it is perhaps unwise for the Mayor of London, responsible for the Met, to invite Murdoch to the Games and to have Hunt, with all his squirming in front of Leveson, saying "hi, de hi".

If you have anything to say specifically on the topic of the thread, I would be delighted to hear it.

"Your post is what we tend to call a "non sequitur" in Blackpool.......

Isn't this how you've started every post or thread you've ever posted? Is it not true that you are incapable of posting a thread that is not a rhetorical question? Your problem is that your posts are always so blindly one-sided that people simply do not give credence to anything you say. They think, "Oh God, what's he on about now, can't he give it a rest?"

Unfortunately for you, you continually walk on very thin ice when you attack any alleged acts of corruption, stupidity, incompetence or waste done by the Coalition. Why? Because anything they can do, has already been done, much, much worse by those stupid clowns you continue to adore, who mismanaged this country for 13 long years!

People on here aren't quite as stupid as you seem to think they are!

Jimslip thinks everything this govt does was done much much worse by the last govt?? Like running the NHS?? Seriously? Or reducing crime?? Seriously??

Like Jim I have witnessed the sad decline of the UK under Nu Labor and am now rather bored with DJ's faux intellectualism...he obviously thinks he is the most intelligent person on here because he knows some Latin. If Labor win the next election, which is worryingly probable he will rant on about how they can't fix anything as the Coalition dry bummed the global economy etc etc yada yada zzzzzzzzzzzz

"Isn't this how you've started every post or thread you've ever posted?"

No.

"is it not true that you are incapable of posting a thread that is not a rhetorical question? "

No, it is not true.

"Your problem is that your posts are always so blindly one-sided"

Well I suppose I could give an analysis in each of my posts of British governments from say, Disraeli to Cameron to illustrate the commonality of evil but I haven't got the time. "Thank fuck" I hear forumites shout.

In the meantime in my original post, I state "And so it goes on from government to government like the passing of a suitcase full of dodgy fivers" to illustrate that this kowtowing to the media is not down to just one political party.

I would have thought even a halfwit would have understood that point, but I am obviously mistaken.

"People on here aren't quite as stupid as you seem to think they are!"

Well given I recall going onto a then, public forum (not this one) and to find, to my amazement, the main subjects of conversation were me and Sam Slater and you were begging other members of said forum to come and attack myself on the BGAFD in numbers, for disagreeing with you on a regular basis, forumites may think they know my views on the statement -

Jim Slip is not quite as stupid as many seem to think he is.

Of course, I cannot comment. I am too kind and generous a person. Look I am even prepared to waste my time replying to your pile of irrelevant tat that you have coughed up in this post, before getting your brain in gear.

Goodnight and sleep tight!

"and am now rather bored with DJ's faux intellectualism...he obviously thinks he is the most intelligent person on here because he knows some Latin".

If that's the case, probably not the best context to show off to the forum your knowledge of French, "faux".

"he will rant on"

Rant on? Steady on, I leave that to some of the others on this forum, mentioning no names. There are people on here who, if "ranting" was an Olympic sport would find themselves being interviewed by Gabby Logan with a gold medal round their necks.

Goodnight!

Hi,

Good point.

Expect a detailed response from Jim Slip about how everything was so much better under the Tories, together with a link to either the right wing Taxpayers Alliance or a right wing blogger such as Guido Fawkes.

Or more likely, no reply at all.

What we won't get is something which is on the topic of the thread i.e. is it right that Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, responsible for the Met should invite Murdoch to the Olympics when his organisation is currently the subject of a criminal investigation as part of potential corporate neglect of duty charges.
