Hacking thing has been ludicrously overblown

[Undisputedtruth]

I think the main point MNH was trying to make is that Coulson, when he was in public office, was required to report any received income from other sources under the Special Adviser's code of conduct to avoid any conflict of interest issues. This omission raises questions about Coulson's integrity and activities.

Andy Coulson's payout: a problem for the Tories?

So was about one's integrity only ! what about others.

Big mistake, in my opinion, of including the charge of illegally accessing the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler against Rebecca Brooks and Andy Coulson.

There's enough evidence to convict them of wrong doing without this charge, that, given it's emotive nature and the Guardian's incorrect facts, may see them get off.

It would be ironic if the Guardian's misrepresentation regarding deleting of emails allowed two Murdoch kingpins to walk away Scot free.

Will the BBC do the same for their sh!tty journalism re- paedophile rings? They should.

interesting developments no?

It also appears that the global press is interested but most other British papers strangely muted

worth pointing to Louise Mensch's take on it

The DV level of security clearance checks bank accounts and requires changes reported I think.

So the security officer would have asked for an explanation.

I was under the impression Coulson never underwent DV clearance but instead was subject to just the 2nd tier SC or SCE clearance level.
