Murdoch is a strange "vulture". He supported Margaret Thatcher and stuck his neck out for Jeremy Archer.
How sad is it wen an aussie b***ard can bring our country to its knees, something is wrong here :-(

Don't feel the least bit sorry for Cameron but he has to work a lot harder to get Murdoch on side than Blair did.
Murdoch is an odd one, bit like Thatcher. Very anti-establishment, but brutal capitalist. Doesn't particularly like the Royals either.
Both Blair and Thatcher fought hard against the old guard in their respective parties so it's relatively easy to see how Murdoch found them very easy to support.
Both Major and Cameron represent something that Murdoch appears to hate about the English.

Yes I'd back that, vicious tempers.
Nice quote on the Beeb prog last night, Apparently she saw a gay Tory MP at a meeting about 2003 (Chris Bryant is it?) who had been openly attacking the Murdoch empire and in front of witnesses including her then hubby Ross Kemp said "Shouldn't you be on Clapham Common now?" Kemp then told her to "Shut up, you homophobic cow". No wonder their marriage didn't last.
Like I said she's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophelia_(painting)
So after all that, did anything actually change?
Depends, guilt wasn't proved but what is the public perception?
Justice can be bought? Her defence costs were between £5-7million.
Brooks had a £16.1million payoff from Murdoch when she lost her job, so no need for a whip-round for her just yet.
Brought back to deal with the proposed corporate prosecution, I guess Murdoch is hoping they get the same result as she did, mind there are more than a few disgruntled ex News International employees out there with grudges now
Her defence was based on her having no knowledge of what was going on under her watch, which defied description but she pulled it off and therefore had to accept that she was, at a minimum, incompetent. The only basis I can imagine regarding why Murky Murdoch has re-appointed her is because he fancies the pants off her (allegedly)!!!
Brought back to dissuade her writing her memoirs I suspect.
The Digger's grubby paw prints are all over the phone hacking.. I find it hard to believe that a life long print man such as himself knew nothing of the dealings.
It's still amazing that the jury swallowed the story about Brooks' husband shredding files and binning his laptop because he was embarrassed about his wife finding porn on it.
