We Cameron Must Not Win Commons Vote Tomorrow!

Okay, you raise a fair point on Press Freedom, then you must work to reassure not just Hacked Off and various celebrities involved, you must reassure the families of/and ordinary victims of Press intrusion

  • What reassurances will you give that Cameron's alternative has more teeth than the Press Complaints Commission did?
  • What reassurances will you give that taboids will suddenly be well behaved? 
  • How do you account for the fact that the tabloid press has more power than most politicians? Who elected them?
  • What will you do to help promote a society where people go for journalism for news and not tittle tattle and prurient gossip and where we have investigative journalism like Woodward and Bernsteen and not have people prominent in papers like Dacre, Mackenzie, and Littlejohn?
  • How will ordinary citizens, in practice , be defended against press intrusion, especially given the way some in the police have behaved during the phone hacking scandal. What guarantees can you give, to the Dowlers and others like them!
If you can answer all these questions and others that may follw, then fine! But this is a matter of trust and for too long we have seen hacks being constantly allowed into the last chance saloon and failing to turn up to AA meetings! For the good of our society this must cease!
Please lobby your MP to vote against the government on Monday!

Cameron at Leveson




A no of people comment on the "We're all in this together!" text, but what surprises me is the no of times David Cameron seems to have forgotten vital meetings and discussions. Some I can understand, but others not and what this says overall about the PM is disturbing and I fear he may well have put himself into a corner!

Downing Street Aide attempting to Intimidate a BBC Journalist

Was rather shocked by this but imagine it goes on more than we think, and hat tip to Guido Fawkes for copying it and putting it on his site.
This not only shows the pressure the PM is under, but that they are running scared and aware of the potential damage. The fact a Downing Street Tory hack dashed out of Downing Street and was trying to intimidate a BBC Journalist here shows they are trying to get a grip on the situation, albeit by going the wrong way about it!
Cameron should sack Hunt, but the fact he hasn't and had a cosy friendship with Rebekah Brooks and is getting nasty over this makes you wonder how much he has to hide!
