Who's to blame.......?

* News International
* Editors of the News of the World
* Corrupt Police officers
* The British Public
* Toothless Regulator
* Succession of governments terrified of Murdoch

They say you get the government you deserve, perhaps the insatiable desire for gossip, celebrity news and tragedy means we get the press we deserve as well!

I'm amazed that EVERYONE is appalled, this would include the 2.5m people who bought the NOTW week-in, week-out Oh the irony!

For Andy Coulson to have apparently committed perjury DURING a perjury trial ... well that just defies belief! Let's just wait and see what happens to him.

Does anyone really care? If all this surprises you,you need to get out more. Its a sad reflection of the world we live in im afraid.
Just thank your lucky stars you live in a town where people still care about each other and have on the whole a nice nature.I have been all over and can vouch for the peeps of Ctown as being amongst,if not the best there is.

What a fantastic piece of television. I wasn't really prepared for what happens 1m 45s into the interview, and what develops after that is priceless. I've suddenly developed a new found respect for Hugh Grant

Yes, I think a lot of people do care about this. Certainly the parents of the bereaved and victims themselves will probably care.

Well four eyes I for one am surprised that the News Of the World would not find it morally wrong to hack the phones of the parents of the two murdered girls at Soham,the relatives of victims of the London bombings and the father of a victim of the Omagh bombing,and how many more we do not know about.
It also surprises me to hear the people of my home town being classed as"peeps".

Great clip Sheik. I was at my book Club last night and when it finished, I couldn't understand why Mr Govangirl was all sexed up about Hugh Grant when normally he doesn't give a fig about him. He had been on Question Time and had been brilliant.

I know what you mean Four Eyes but where I wouldn't care about Jordan and footballers getting their phones hacked, I am disgusted at how they can hack into a dead child's phone and gave false hope to her parents. There will be more dirty revelations to come but still the hordes will continue to buy into Murdoch when the new Sun on Sunday is published. Murdoch has poisoned debate in this country for too many years now.

fantastic clip......was not really a Hugh fan before I saw this but my opinion has changed.

It also surprises me to hear the people of my home town being classed as"peeps".

It's just a modern expression, short for "people", Bill.

Thanks for the clip Ship, brilliant. I like Hugh Grant and was impressed by him on QT last night.

Aha!!!! More proof for the paranoid! Is Sheik really Ship or Ship really Sheik?

And going back to your original question Sheik, Everyone on your list!!!!!

And Hughie for PM I say!!!!!!

Oops, sorry Sheik & Ship.

Which U.K.papers are owned by news international apart from the news of the world?

The Times / Sunday Times / The Sun

Good for Hugh Grant, he's not the type to get caught with his trousers down.
What amazes is the apparent insatiable appetite, for the cheap and tasteless tittle tattle espoused, in that excuse for journalism. Those totally corrupt Police Officers should be jailed, along with those politicians in the pay of News International..........And for those who bought this rag.... would you like your private lives spread, like a whores legs in the Courier ? No, then please respect the private lives of others.......... ( Boycott the Sun )
One wonders what the sales figures where in Campbeltown, or Glasgow, or for that matter Scotland.

Lets be fair, they hacked into a missing girls phone, who happened to be dead.
