hugh grant is absolutely brilliant

[Ianjcarroll]

Mr Murdoch, you are the lowest form of scum......... You deserve to be locked-up. capitalist scum bags, all of you..... Lock them up, like you would any normal person....

[227060]

@smileynaz1 maybe he should b PM for real

[midianholic]

Back of the net, Hugh.

[Donald6899]

Hugh Grant, you were brilliant. Scotish twat

[hayesism]

@Ianjcarroll Full stops divide sentences, not arguments. I assumed that you were suggesting capitalism is Murdoch's crime because that was the closest thing you made to a specific charge. I mean I can't think of another reason you included the word -- it isn't dirty and there's nothing wrong with it. And you've still not nominated a specific crime. Locking people up without charge, as you advocate, is authoritarianism, no matter how much you deny it.

[HarrysSecret]

Hugh should be doing some kind of current affairs/political chat show.

He's quite good at pinning his opponent down with tricky questions.

[Ianjcarroll]

@hayesism i never said he should be locked up because he is a capitalist... notice the full stops after locked-up..... what he presides over is an empire of lies put down on parchment for the enjoyment of the feral minded.. you know what i mean!!!! Authoritarianism is not what i am about at all, and how bold of you to suggest such a thing. if you only knew my friend what really go's on behind closed doors of news rooms, if you only knew.... i myself have over 20 years experience in this.

[hayesism]

@Ianjcarroll On what charge? Being a capitalist is not a crime. I agree with you that he should be treated like a "normal person" -- but you can't just lock up a normal person because you disagree with them. You have to prove they've committed a crime. It's not Murdoch, but authoritarians like you who are the lowest form of scum.

nice one Hugh! :-D



[Godzillaismybitch]

"...Are those politicians going to prioritise their relationships with the press, or their responsibility to the public..." Are you having a fucking laugh? Page ONE of how to be a politician - whom do you represent? THE PUBLIC. No wonder Murdoch owns all these spineless bitches, Jesus Christ alive.

[Godzillaismybitch]

@doire7 fuck them, he wins a moral victory anyway.

And, anything Murdoch 'n' Friends DO decide to write about Hugh Grant will now be disregarded by the public as cheap retaliation against Hugh Grant for speaking his mind on a TV show in a free country (the horror ¬.¬).

The only shitty part about all this is that EVERYONE involved in phone hacking SHOULD be convicted and banged up, but mysteriously most of the charges will be diluted into something absurd and most will walk.
