Calls for a police enquiry are mounting following the resignation yesterday of Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson. Coulson said that the continued coverage of the phone-hacking scandal surrounding the News of the World, where he was editor from 2003 until 2007, was making his job at No 10 impossible.
Watch this video for the full background:
Read the full story plus other video interviews with Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, ex News of the World editor Phil Hall and former News of the World journalist Paul McMullan.
There are, surely, only three possibilities…. Mr Coulson was the editor who
a) signed off payments of £100,000 knowing they were for ‘phone bugging services
b) signed off payments of £100,000 without asking what they were for
c) hadn’t a clue that someone else was signing off very large bills for services he had no idea his staff were commissioning
Ho bloody hum ….
