    Journalists are nicknamed reptiles. And with good reason.

    Boycot the Sun, NOTW, Sky and The Times - not only will you show your objection to this disgusting activity, you won't give more money to Mr Murdoch.

    Why? I don't see 'owt wrong with it?!?
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Looks like George Osbornes phone has been hacked as well.

    Now lets see what the politicians do now one of their own has been involved.

    Regarding the Sun/News of the World - I remember the vile stories they published after Hillsborough back in the late 80s - if they think it might sell a few papers they do not care how grubby they become - and there are loads of people especially on Merseyside who would not even degrade themselves by using these papers as toilet paper, let alone buy a copy.

    The NOTW and the Sun have done some very horrible things over the years but none as horrible as what is coming out now. It would be good to think that advertisers desert them and a few hundred thousand is cut from the circulation. Even better if the NOTW finds it is not commercially viable to continue. One can live in hope.
