The outrage is that NotW Hacked<br />the phone of a defenseless young person. Same crime different<br />severity. (Similar to Soldier intentionally killing unarmed<br />civilian during wartime) 3 of the 4 claims are from wellknown/<br />famous adults, hardly defenseless. The nanny can potentially<br />be more succeptible to being bullied, agreed. <br />The law should rule justly and compensation/appologies etc <br />where appropriate. These 4 claims should then end there. <br />Unless a more severe crime is committed by Mirror, lumping <br />them together with NotW is just Wrong. Everybody should be<br />tried for their individual crimes. You should not be a racist<br />just because a single different race person wronged you in the<br />past. You should be angry towards that single person that<br />wronged you.<br /><br />my two cents<br />HHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443862031662825789.post-35813651163540382662012-10-23T10:42:54.332+01:002012-10-23T10:42:54.332+01:00Hi, well there hasn't actually been an RNS fro...Hi, well there hasn't actually been an RNS from TNI, just press comment. I've been doing some digging, and the compensation settlements on phone hacking are not that huge - typically £40-130k per case, according to one website. How many cases will emerge, who knows, but they are difficult to prove anyway.<br /><br />I see this is an occupational hazard for a newspaper group. They were all at it, and whilst I accept that it's unethical to hack into someone else's voicemail, on the other hand a healthy democracy needs a Press which are prepared to expose wrong-doing in high places, even if their methods of gathering evidence are somewhat dodgy. But hasn't that always been the case anyway? Paparazzi, going through bins, etc, journalism is meant to be close to the knuckle, or it just becomes a mouthpiece for the State.Paul Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081674666652796786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443862031662825789.post-38727860825666356372012-10-23T09:12:41.674+01:002012-10-23T09:12:41.674+01:00I'd just like to say thanks for the insight Pa...I'd just like to say thanks for the insight Paul.I couldn't believe the rns after buying in yesterday...
