To me this sticks of a which hunt against NI rather than looking for ALL those involved.

At least the hacks at my local paper (the only one I buy) will not be getting investaged anytime soon

Maybe it does look like (and may indeed be) a witch hunt against NI Corp but in the same vein, if a burglar is charged do the CPS wait for trial because there are other burglars still to be caught? No, they have had very serious allegations made against them (Brooks et al) and they should be brought before a court to answer those charges.

Once that has been done then she can be burned at the stake as per normal for witches. Pity about the Clean Air Act

She faces Three charges of Perverting the Course of Justice,,,Maximum sentence is Life Imprisonment but if found guilty I reckon Four years......

Like Samson, will Brooks pull the temple down around her?

If she decides that she's a 'victim', she could take a lot of people down with her.

Brown underpants in the corridors of the good and the great, I'd say.

Fear truth is long lost and now a huge scrambled egg of hi-politics. Brooks may be done a great injustice, having only 'done her job', and will be sacrificed by 'the establishment' or a royal fudge.

Does seem that Britain is turning on its axis and the law no longer fits a complex world. Watched the Winslow Boy last night, where establishment Britain could call its own tune, now paternal govt found its match in Murdoch, to some respect. If we lose Murdoch's power how much will the world tip backwards to its incestuous past. Politicians running scared of a Brooks prying through your sock drawer now seems quite attractive, having vented our spleens.

Sentencing guidelines are a minimum of four months, up to one or two years, for each offence. No sentence of more than 10 years has been handed down in the last century.

Well at least she won't be feeling lonely in the dock;

Mrs Brooks's PA, Cheryl Carter, her chauffeur, Paul Edwards, security staff member Daryl Jorsling and News International security head Mark Hanna are charged with the same offence.

Pity they weren't charged with conspiracy too.

That's exactly what she'll threaten to do. Thereafter, shutters will be bolted and doors slammed on her. She'll then get very upset about the isolated position in which she will finds herself and somewhere out there, there'll be a group of people working like dogs to keep the flak away from those who have most to hide. Just watch for who funds her legal team. My thinking is, that this woman is now in a position to create such a storm amongst many groups of people that they'll find a way for this case to fail. She's actually in a position of power. She's certainly no victim.

There'll be no convictions.

So, Rebekah's up for the high jump, what about her boss James Murdoch? You think daddy might get him off the hook?

Too late for that. There is enough evidence to provide a good chance of conviction and it will be put before a jury.

I think any shenanagins would have gone on before this point. After charge, that's it and up the steps we go and it's too late to go tinkering with it.

The only way the establishment is going to be left looking stupid now is if they, and particularly Brooks, get off.

I believe the opposite will happen.

If the evidence shows a good chance of conviction, the 'friends' will likely offer some inducement to keep stum. A few years pokey and then back to some resemblence of normality will seem a better offer than attempting to pull down those around her in the know and then end up as editor of the Penzance Gazette as the only work that she's ever offered.

If she squeels like a piggy and then gets off, she's burnt her bridges for ever.
