True. She is a scapegoat. All she has done is "serviced" her master. Will he be arrested? Then again will everyone who supported them by buying their papers too?
RS, "I was only acting under orders" hasn't been a valid defence since the Nurenburg Trials.
The real law she broke was to be in charge when the paper stopped supporting the Labour party.
All the labour supporting papers had endemic hacking as well.
She must have known that it was a bad idea to piss off the people in power. The mistakes she made were firstly to think her new friends would protect her against her new enemies and secondly to think that the Murdochs could or would keep her out of trouble. She's lucky; in the old days that sort of political miscalculation lost you your head.
RS, I refer you to B's comment. Maybe she is a scapegoat, so what? That doesn't mean she and people in a similar position don't know perfectly well that they are wrecking people's lives, that was their choice and they must know that some of them would cop for it.
SB, no, News Intl was a playground bully who played off Nulab against Blulab, until they reaslied that they could gang up against News Intl and finish them off.
B, she wouldn't have lost her head, she'd have had a date with the ducking stool.
I suppose the titfer might be described as her torting hat. (With apols to J K Rowling and others).
FT, haha well spotted, you can almost see its eyes and mouth.
"B, she wouldn't have lost her head, she'd have had a date with the ducking stool."
or the stake. Tony Blair would have been the stakeholder.
