Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Russell Brown,
I'm sure he just forgot about being shown the e-mail, you know that e-mail that made the 700000 pound payment necessary, it's the kind of e-mail that could slip anyones mind.
Daddy they're being mean to me ...

So telling the truth is a "strategy" - how ... quaint
James Murdoch told the committee that his advisers had urged him to adopt a strategy of telling the truth when he spoke to the committee.

Hard News: The scandal that keeps on giving, in reply to Andre Alessi,
I don't see how a "little" corruption and collusion would
Very true. And as always the cynical me believes firmly that if there is money to be made then there is someone who will stoop that low.
But
Perhaps, just perhaps, if people go to jail, not just little insignificant people, but people in the business and public eye, then maybe journalists and businessmen (and MPs and policemen) might start thinking that the money really doesn't make the risk worthwhile.
Cultural change does happen even such an unlikely change as people doing what is right rather than what is profitable.

people in positions of responsibility
That's the key, whether or not they knew is irrelevant, they are, by virtue of their position responsible. If they were smart they would have made sure they knew everything.
Denial at this stage is merely a publicity exercise it has no relevance to legal responsibility.

He stepped out of the shadows his long brown coat swinging open
"Damned if I know how I got here, and really - pink?" he drawled."Looks like we got us a problem with reanimation, I strongly recommend running, that is unless that whistle has unusual attributes"
"I'll draw them off, you head for the dock."
And with that he drew his pistol and started filling poor Brad with lead, and some depleted uranium for luck.
Brad was less than impressed and lumbered towards Richmond's saviour. For a big and somewhat lifeless man he was surprisingly fast and would have caught the hero of Serenity valley but a bullet tore through an old hamstring scar and Brad went down.
Without any magic spray or even a water bottle to restore him to activity he was no further threat to anyone.Richmond only looked back once, and reassured to see that the hero would survive the day turned and ran for the docks.
From behind him he heard the brown coated man shout

OnPoint: Easy as 1, 2, 22.8 billion, in reply to James Butler,
Also, everyone knows a good upright piano is cheaper and sounds better than a baby grand.
