I read that NI gave Rebekah Brooks £1.7m, a paid-for office in London and a chauffeured limo as a severance package.

That'll teach her.

You really have to wonder what kind of 'relationship' her and the Murdochs had/have??....

He hasn't been the only one who's come out looking totally incompetent from this whole sorry episode....His dad, Brooks, Coulsen, they've all looked like non-managerial material through it all....By all accounts working for News International as a journo is like being a 8 year old in a candy shop, without the shopkeeper being there - a licence to do all the things you know you shouldn't do, but suddenly can.

And to think our PM thought that Coulsen was savvy enough to have at the heart of Government....

None of them are remotely bothered about looking managerial. They couldnt give a toss if the average viewer thinks they're a bit thick. Its all about not giving the game away. From their point of view "looking totally incompetent" is the preferred outcome, at least compared to "self incrimination".

......and, ultimately, it makes people like Cameron look like the real losers for actually employing them after their NI employment stint??.....

Anyone following Levenson, if you have the opportunity, you might want to follow @benfenton on Twitter. He'san FT journalist, but tweets independently. Currently at the enquiry.

And, since it's entirely relevant ... Is this the Murdoch press deciding it will not be alone in the spotlight?
