Oh, Albion, still making us feel good about America after all these years.
Why does quitting the job you committed gross horrific crimes in automatically make you exempt from being charged with these crimes?

Also, laughter at Murdoch's completely genuine concern for labour.

So a key informant was shot dead, with no explanation, and those aren't suspicious circumstances? I assume they mean it's a suicide, but can't confirm it yet. I notice the stories quote neighbors saying he was paranoid, and talked about wiretaps and conspiracies, laying groundwork for the 'mentally ill suicide' explanation. Although when there actually was a conspiracy involving wiretaps, I'm not sure that should count as evidence.
Any reason for the title: "British police murder whistleblower"?
|
baleen - 2011-07-18 Because he was murdered. He destroyed the careers of some very powerful people in the law enforcement and intelligence community and was going to destroy more. Of course he was paranoid, he was being followed constantly. He also exposed bribery across the police force. This is the kind of thing that people are routinely murdered over. Best case scenario if he wasn't murdered he was driven to suicide by the prospect of being murdered and constantly shadowed everywhere he went.

"Mr Hoare, [...] claimed last week that NOTW reporters bribed police officers to track targets for stories using mobile-phone mast technology.
...
Mr Hoare apparently told a reporter last week that he had been injured the previous weekend while dismantling a marquee put up for a children's party. An accidental blow from a heavy pole used to erect the marquee had had broken his nose and badly injured his foot. "

Seems like an accident prone kind of guy.
