CABLEGATE 2 + Hackgate Trivia

Some people with time on their hands have been trawling through assorted leaked cables in the hope of finding something juicy.

So far, all that's turned up is this. The context is the Freeport saga, which seems to have petered out, anyway, but...

C) The original allegations were developed by Portuguese
authorities and shared with the London Police in August 2005.
The London Police then obtained and shared with Portuguese
authorities a clandestine March 2006 video of Charles Smith,
of Smith & Pedro, discussing the payment of bribes to
Socrates' cousin. British and Portuguese law enforcement are
reportedly cooperating effectively on the case (which may be
a positive consequence of the fumbled high-profile
investigation into the disappearance of British child Maddie
McCann in Portugal in 2007).


Just what Gonc DOESN'T need right this minute - well done, pitchforkers

"British and Portuguese law enforcement are reportedly cooperating effectively on the case (which may be a positive consequence of the fumbled high-profile investigation into the disappearance of British child Maddie McCann in Portugal in 2007). "


Interestingly this cable is dated 9 th Feb 2009?

Nothing major but rather puts paid to their claims that no police have been investigating this case since it's shelving in 2008 doesn't it?

Better woosh that one quick wouldn't want the public to get the idea that anyone other than the McCann's were 'LOOKING' now would we?





ILLITERATE MORON PITCHFORKER


THE CO-OPERATION REFERS TO THE FREEPORT CASE





So, they started co-operating TWO YEARS before Madeleine was abducted, then?

You couldn't make it up

How absolutely pathetic! Now the haters are salivating because someone totally obscure, who happens to be married to Lori Campbell, whom they all hate, has been arrested in connection with the Hackgate borefest.

You may ask yourself, what heinous crime is he accused of?

Try not to be too shocked - but it's transcribing an email

Phone-hacking scandal: reporter linked to the 'for Neville' email arrested
News of the World journalist believed to be the man who transcribed key email sent to private investigator Glen Mulcaire.

A 30-year-old man who has been arrested by police investigating the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World is believed to be Ross Hall, a former journalist at the paper who now works for a financial PR firm.

Hall, who worked under the name Ross Hindley until September 2006, is believed to be the man who transcribed the "for Neville" email that was sent to private investigator Glenn Mulcaire. It has become a pivotal piece of evidence in the phone-hacking affair.

That email contained a transcript of messages left on a mobile phone belonging to Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association. The "Neville" referred to in the email is believed to be Neville Thurlbeck, the paper's chief reporter.

There is a dispute among senior executives at News International, which owned the paper until it was closed in July, over who knew about the "Neville" email.

The paper's former editor Colin Myler and its lawyer Tom Crone insist they told News International chairman James Murdoch about the existence of the email in 2008, before the company decided to settle a legal action which Taylor had brought against the paper. But Murdoch denies that he knew about the email.

Taylor received an out-of-court settlement of £700,000, and agreed not to discuss the case.

Hall is the nephew of Phil Hall, who edited the News of the World from 1995 to 2000 and is now a PR consultant.

The Metropolitan police said a 30-year-old man was arrested by appointment on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept voicemail messages and perverting the course of justice at a north London police station on Friday. He was later released on bail until January next year.


Yup. Sounds like a real danger to society. But it's led the haters to say things like;

Now she'll know how it feels to have her life wrecked, in the way that she (and others) deliberately wrecked Murat's.

Oh, do grow up! This is penny-ante stuff, of interest only to Guardianistas and obsessives now.

And why on earth should Lori Campbell's life be 'wrecked' as they want to happen? If this trivia ever comes to court, her OH will get a slap on the wrists - and promotion and a pay rise for showing initiative.

What vindictive, petty people the haters are!
