Trinity Mirror now in the Phone Hacking Spotlight

Just to show there's no bias against the right wing media, BBC Newsnight has uncovered evidence of phone hacking at the Sunday Mirror. If the allegations are true then the Sunday Mirror's owners, Trinity Mirror, must be wondering just how big this story is going to get, and if they may be forced to take action similar to News International.

The programme's source said the technique of phone hacking was used on a daily basis. As this story has broken with plenty of time to change the front pages of the Sunday Mirror's rivals, I wouldn't be surprised to find a number of papers leading with this story tomorrow.

After the problems of his press outlets in recent weeks, Murdoch has had a pretty good week. Firstly there was the foam pie incident in the parliamentary committee room; as usual, the hard left going straight to direct action without thinking about the consequences; and now this story. Both of these events have taken the heat away from News International and it won't take much for the public to turn to thinking a plage on all your houses when it comes to the tabloid press.

I'm sure this will be added to the public enquiry, and I also suspect there will be more revelations soon.

Blogging from an Android

So, I got a new phone as my contract was coming to the end. It's a HTC Desire S, and it's running the Android operating system.

What this all means is I can now blog from my phone, using a lovely application, and therefore I hope my Blogging will become much more regular than it has been recently.

I'm actually currently on a training course to train other people, being held in Yarnfield. So it's a perfect opportunity to test the app out.

Hope this works!
