Nice man; lousy report.
Cameron, naturally controlled by the Mail, says "over my dead image".

The opportunistic responses to him said a great deal about politics these days. All he said was that it should be discussed before deciding to implement the proposal, yet immediately it was reported as 'Cameron rejects Leveson'. Sad.
Quite right, Bob
Hurriedly made law is usually very bad law indeed.
Anyone remember the Dangerous Dogs Act ????

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. Will Clegg's support fade as he thinks about his future working for the EU and will MilliVanilliBand risk alienating the media he may need to keep sweet for the next election.
I must say, it looks like Leveson did a GREAT job.
