Heather Mills, the former Mrs. Macca on an episode of BBC2's Newsnight this past Wednesday, she was approached by a writer for the Daily Mirror and asked for a statement about a recent spat she had with then-boyfriend Paul. When the journalist gave her a verbatim rundown of a phone call the two had, Heather promptly blew a gasket and threatened legal action if the gist of the conversation was ever made public. When informed of this two days ago, Sir Paul expressed shock, horror and a bee-line visit to Scotland Yard when he finishes his latest tour.
There have been numerous phone hacking allegations associated with Morgan, who of course denies them all. But since he did disclose in a recent book a somewhat cavalier attitude towards the practice, it certainly prompts many questions and begs many answers.
Piers Morgan - former Editor of The Daily Mirror. "Scotland Yard's jus' dyin' to meet ya".
And then there's the disclosure of letters written between Rupert Murdoch and First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, taking on a friendlier-than-usual air between Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Salmond right up to June of this year. Maybe nothing, but a curious batch of coincidences surrounding a sudden shift in support from News Of The World of Mister Salmond in a recent election and the presence of News International printing plants springing up in Scotland shortly after. Fancy that.
Alex Salmond. Allegedly in that fine tradition of one hand washing the other.
And next week? Anybody's guess.
