When I worked with Andy on Bizarre on The Sun I found him a quiet, decent, nice man. He became Editor of the News of the World and seemed a very good one. As a result I would virtually guarantee he knew everything about how his paper was put together. I'm absolutely certain he was completely aware that his story about me - Pervert In The Park - was a total fabrication. He also knew - as I did - that the toothless PCC would find his paper innocent. Likewise, if he did not know that one of the ways hacks get stories is by hacking into phones (why else did they earn the name?) I would be astonished. Of course he knew.

this is pretty interesting as it's all to do with changing values. Just like the Page 3 girls were once accpetable (at any age)hacking was probably no big deal.

But no-one else gets away with anything so why should the media ?

I still think this is a real slow burner and will break wide open.
