Rebekah Brooks Down the Pan

So the Ginga's gone then! Rebekah Brooks that is. Bit disrespectful that, who cares about the colour of her hair after all, but she is hardly one to make a person fall about in fawning adoration is she?

Except that they do, for the daftest things. Piers Morgan delights in the tale of how Rebekah dressed as a cleaner and hid in a toilet for two hours to snatch a copy of The Sunday Times, so that she could rush it back to the News of the World and they could steal the story.

A scoop that someone else worked hard to get. Researched and wrote. All she did was hide in the loos - in the same building - and nick it. I would have admired her a little bit if she had somehow managed to get it from a rival, the Sunday Mirror say, but in the same building? Hardly front-line journalism is it?

People have said for years that she was out of her depth, but some are being kind to her now in her darkest hour. She has said: " I had absolutely no awareness" of the phone hacking and the rest. How not? Was she hiding in a toilet the whole time or is she just lying through her teeth? We may find out, but don't hold your breath.
