I care not for this. Nor do most of the populace I'd imagine. A few MPs targeted by l33t hax0rs from the NotW and it's getting more parliamentary time than say... cuts to STFC budget. GTFO.
Lord Prescott of Kingston-upon-Hull is demanding a judicial review of the Metropolitan Police's decision to end its investigation into allegations of phone "hacking" by the News of the World. But the big man's contribution has been dismissed by the policeman who ran the original investigation, Andy Hayman, as "another episode …
I would like some croquet investigation please.
Perscott's lament:
"Ive been waiting here for so long
And all this time has passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say.
Why don't you touch me, touch me,
Why don't you touch me, touch me,
Touch me now, now, now, now, now..."
"another episode of Lord Prescott's rants. You know, he's nothing special."
I know cops can have an attitude, and generally don't want to know your opinion as to the time of day, but that was by some margin one of the coldest and definitive statement of "couldn't give a fuck", even for a cop. Clearly not a Prescott fan.
Exactly, using back-doors or using a list of default PINs is not hacking. Hacking is circumventing security. So if you enter the correct password you're not hacking. Hacking would be gaining access without entering any password.
I guess technically if they were brute forcing the pin by going through all the possible combinations then that would be comparable to picking a lock.
As people always say (especially when privacy is invaded) you've nothing to fear if you're law abiding.
probably that his hideous legover was exposed by fleet street and secondly Top ex Cop Andy Hayman deeming his hissy fit a rant and him 'nothing special' live on air during Nick Ferrari's show.
I just wish his hissy fits didn't end up costing the UK taxpayer huge amounts of cash. Hasn't he fleeced us taxpayers enough already? We have to pay him and his odious wife cash for the rest of their miserable lives to keep them in the lard to which they've become accustomed.
It's not even as if he was any conceivable use when he was actually 'working' either. About the only thing he was ever any good at was fetching a G&T on boats and rabble rousing.
Hasn't he heard of peeing off gracefully and vanishing up his own cloaca? Maybe someone should clue him in.
So its OK to spy on the personal communications of the public at large (IMP) and turn a blind eye while nefarious commercial interests (Phorm) do the same, but an entirely different matter when Their Right Honorables are on the receiving end?
You reap as you sow, Mr Prescott. Your Government made (in their eyes) snooping and spying on personal communications not only acceptable, but desirable (in the name of "security"). Now you blubber because the boot is on the other foot and, it hurts?
Stop blubbering. You only have yourself to blame.
THAT was the 1337 h4X? Two-Jabs was too dumb or lazy to change his default PIN, got pwned, and - hang on, that's the part where he was turfed out of government for being incompetent, right? I mean, that is what happened - he's not being let near grown-up scissors, open flames or legislation, right? RIGHT?
Woooooosh - and they all miss the important bit and shit on JP
You lot should be pleased someone is prepared to fight the plods over this one.
The cops look like they have been leant on - big time - and are resorting to 'It's only that Presciott bloke moaning again, no need to take him seriously'.
By falling in line with the police and Murdoch and Coulson (or 'sucking' a big one as some might say) you are agreeing that it's O.K. for both the press to hack as they please in to anyones account - yes, yours too - and that it's also no big deal as far as the police are concerned.
even wft? isn't enough this time - you've been pwnd by Murdoch and Coulson and supplied your own KY. Fuckatrds - just hope it doesn't happen to you, you've just sanctioned it.
We are not pleased that someone has been abused. We are pleased that the shoe in now on the other foot and he is getting the same crap the public has been getting while he was supposed to be serving them.
It's not who cares it was only Presciott, it's...
Ha, Ha, how do you like it eh? Not so fun is it? Getting some idea of why we were getting mad now?
But I expect he is not thinking "they can't do this" but something like "they can't do this to someone important like ME"
.. and I mean by John Oates.
Whilst no fan of Prezza, this article is one-sided. Andy Hayman the rozza from the yard is no longer of that parish. He now worships at the church of St Rupert; which interestingly enough owns the News of the Screws. So Andy Hayman saying anything about this is pure propaganda; perhaps like some (and only some) of those screaming protest on the opposition benches.
.. and don't you think that Yates of the Yard is intimidating new witness by interviewing them as suspects and not witnesses. (Something stinks there).
... and it is still illegal under RIPA to listen into other peoples communications. I don't want mine listened to. I presume everyone standing up for Hayman et al doesn't mind, I do!
That Prescott's government let this one slide at the time without too much action being taken. It seems that at the time the fat boy and his buddies were happy with the action taken by the police. So why would he (and other's in his party) be shouting about it now? Could it be because there is the potential for some political mileage to be had from embarassing Coulson and his new boss?
Cynic? Me?
I wonder whether Prescott will get the justice that his Government's dictatorship denied to everyone else, including myself. All Labour are is a bunch of self serving scroungers who only believe in enriching themselves whilst pretending to represent the working man.. Fuck Labour, they are FINISHED. Full stop.
