As a former hack of 30 years' standing I have covered countless parish council meetings and you know what? I kinda know how he must have felt!

It's taken the Goverment SIX YEARS to respond to a report by the Bishop of Liverpool which made 25 recommendations following the conclusion of inquests into the deaths at Hillsborough 34 YEARS ago. Campaigners have been calling for a "Hillsborough Law", or Public Authority (Accountability) Bill, to create a legal duty of candour on public authorities and officials to tell the truth and proactively co-operate with official investigations and inquiries. In essence, they wanted coppers and the like to be legally forced to.......tell the truth and not get involved in cover-ups! Can you believe it? There needs to be a law to make the police tell the truth? Guess what? This Mickey Mouse Government, responding to the report, did n't think plod should be forced to stop telling porkies. In its response, it said: " The government is not aware of any gaps in legislation or clarifications needed that would further encourage a culture of candour among public servants in law....

Former Trinity Mirror CEO Sylvia "Sly" Bailey and professional dickhead Piers Morgan have at least two things in common: 1. They both have faces you would like to slap. 2. They both knew phone hacking was going on at The Daily Mirror, a judge has concluded. PHONE HACKING, unless carried out permissibly by a government agency, IS ILLEGAL. Glenn Mulcaire was jailed for six months when he was found to have violated the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 in the News of the World scandal. The judge mentioned above, who sat on the civil case against The Mirror, was told that the paper was still hacking phones during the Leveson Inquiry into......into.....urmm........that News of the World phone hacking! Police are said to be considering the evidence and findings of the civil action brought against The Mirror and, even though the required standard of proof is higher in a criminal court, Bailey and Morgan must surely be charged? Put the evidence before a jury. Let them decid...
