Help.
The Levenson Enquiry has been going on since time immemorial.
Could anyone help me out with the following questions.
1. What is the purpose of The Levenson Enquiry.
2. How on earth can he come to any meaningfull conclusion when it would appear to me, that to date all the persons giving evidence on oath mind you, appear to have an anathema to the truth.
3. What will be the result of the enquiry.
I await your replies gentlemen and and ladies

I dont even know what a sky b sky is or what ever the other one of Murdocks is.
Does it really matter? I believe that so far it has cost the Tax payer 105 million Pounds. for what. ??
The greatest line up of liars in history to parade their lies.
Who started it, for what purpose, and why? whose is making money out of all this? who is getting the tax from my miserable pension, some Lawyer who is just as bad as a Politician?
Round everyone involved up and turn on the gas.

It has been brought about to see who can tell the biggest lie. So Cameron said I ccan tell a lie, but Blair said no you can't mine is bigger than yours, the Brown said well mine is special, and so it goes. At the end of the day, not my problem!


Happy daze John in Oz.

Hacking
Believe the Levison inquiry was set up to investigate the relationship between the plonkers who own/run the newspapers and the twonks we voted into Parliament.
It all started with the News of The Screws and their hacking of mobile phones of C list celebs and politicians.
If these idiots in the so called limelight and also Goverment only realised that texting/voice mail on mobiles is an open book, as anyone with a bit of knowledge can hack into anyones phone, then this inquiry would most likely never have even been thought about. Just read what stupid texts etc. loads of our politicians etc. have sent with really personal comment and info in them and you realise that what a bunch of idiots they are.
A mobile phone should just be that, a phone that you use to call people on without it being attched by a wire to a wall socket. Use it for anything else at your peril.
Newspapers since they were invented have always tried to influence Political parties. It is up to the individuals in political Parties to resist approaches from papers and keep them at arms length, just let them use their editorial comments pages to air their papers views and not try and directly influence politicians.
All this is just another form of lobbying, which is sometehing I strongly disagree with. Politicians should be listening to their electorate and building their policies on what the electorate want, not being swayed by extremley well funded lobby group representing narrow views.
just my thoughts anyway... of to mow the grass now.

Being somewhat of a cynic I find it very strange that all these people who are conducting the Levison enquiry, including the Lord himself, had nothing better to do for the months ahead than to listen to a bunch of natural born liars doing what they do naturally. It smacks of jobs for the boys to me
Surely there are more important matters that they could put their expertise to than trying to work out who lied to whom about something that we all knew happens anyway. The key players have all lost their jobs and reputations anyway so what is the point in continuing.
