The great moral crusader David Cameron, British Prime Minister, who is wasting millions of pounds of British taxpayer money in bombing Libya while increasing college fees and threatening to shut down the NHS, is now wriggling to explain why he employed Andy Coulson as private assistant even though he had been warned of his involvement in a telephone hacking crime by Alan Rusbridger, the editor of The Guardian. Andy Coulson was editor of the News of the World, a sunday tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch, when the phone hackings took place. In 2007 Clive Goodman, the royal editor, and a private investigator named Glenn Mulcare were sent to prison for hacking into phones of members of the royal family. Later it emerged that phones of celebrities were also hacked into. Now it has emerged that News of the World had hacked into the phone of a missing teenager, Milly Dowler, and erased some messages so that they could monitor new messages coming in. Dowler was later found murdered. Allegations of hacking into phones of relatives of soldiers killed in Afghanistan are being investigated. Why were the Metropolitan Police inactive for so long? Seems that police officers were regularly paid for information. British police are known to be brutal and inefficient. Now they are exposed as taking bribes. Mr Murdoch has closed down News of the World to distance himself from the scandal because he wants to buy up to 61% of BSkyB which is a much more profitable business. He cares nothing for employees as long as he can make money. I am betting that he will get permission to by BSkyB because the British government is terrified of him.
