News of the World should have been closed 50 years ago. It's always been bullshit.

Pretty bloody cynical from Murdoch. The only reason this is being done is so the company can be liquidated and all records that incriminate can be destroyed. Pefectly legal in the UK apparently.

My interested in that paper was such that I didn't even know it was just a Sunday paper. That explains the re-branding comment.

Hm. Commentators are saying Brooks' arrest are a pretty cynical attempt by the Met Police to deflect attention away from itself, especially since she might have some pretty damning things to say about them in front of the Parliamentary committee.

The latest...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/…
Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.
The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.
The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of the prime minister David Cameron.
It is understood the bag was handed into security at around 3pm and that shortly afterwards, Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.
Instead, it is understood that the security guard called the police.
