The Metropolitan police is to examine allegations that journalists from the News of the World and other newspapers repeatedly used criminal methods to get stories through mobile phone hacking.

The move came after the Guardian revealed Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers had paid out more than £1m to settle legal cases that threatened to reveal evidence of the journalists' activities.

Oh please, nobody takes that [LIFTED] newspaper seriously anyway. So it doesn't matter if now and then they write something that is actually true...

It has the highest circulation of any newspaper in the United Kingdom, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people took what was printed as gospel.

That is exactly why it shouldn't be taken seriously. Majority of people are retards and it does not matter what they think. Retards only believe what they want to believe and sensible newspapers cannot change the way they think. And mostly they think "other people are the cause of my life being so miserable". May it be government, banks, companies, business people, immigrants, terrorists, french, jews etc... They need somebody to blame for everything bad that happened to them and they find that somebody in papers like The Sun and The news of the world. They read it so they can be angry at somebody...

Sure, and now remember that this group of people carry the most votes...

That's democracy for you, or "Mob Rules" as I like to call it.

An excellent album, but a questionable social policy.

but we don't have democracy. We have a system whereby the majority is usually ignored for vast amounts of time. The minority decide on who governs. Then the "elected" representatives just ignore the electorate until the next election.
Perversely "starship Troopers" had a interesting idea on politics

Are you talking about the idea that citizenship was earned via serving in the marines etc. and that you couldn't vote until you'd earned it?

I have better idea. Let's have IQ test that will decide whether person can vote or not. Or maybe general knowledge test. But of course person would have to pay income tax of a certain level to be eligible to vote. If somebody does not contribute any money he shouldn't be allowed to decide how the money of others is spent...
