In reply to Simon4:
Yes, OK Sienna Miller, sorry, I knew who I meant...
Presumably the collusion between the Met and the journalists is fine, all so that Rupert Murdoch (et al) can get scandal stories about "celebs" and also engage in feeding frenzies about politicians whose phones have also been hacked and thus set the country's political agenda, and influence policy...
The press, police and David Cameron want it to disappear because of what it says about them. Cameron, obviously, because of his links with Andy Coulson and, more latterly, with Rupert Murdoch's News Group...
I think that the bugging of John Terry's car so that he can be tracked by paparazzi is just another indication of how little respect the press have for people's privacy as long as they can make money by harassing people. Stuff all that bollocks they spout about Freedom of Speech when they rant about these Super Injunctions about "celebs".
Two faced, lying hypocrites...
Also, if you recall, the press tend to shout "big brother" at the state, every time someone gets photographed by a speed camera, but in reality they engage in covert surveillance of a particularly malicious kind, with making money by publishing scandal as the motivation.
