Rupert Murdoch and his 'empathy'

‘On a recording of a meeting with staff, Murdoch admits he was aware of the practice of bribing public officials’

‘Rupert Murdoch told staff in a secretly recorded meeting he knew for decades that his journalists were bribing officials.’

“Rupert Murdoch has shown understandable empathy with the staff and families affected and will assume they are innocent until and unless proven guilty.”

A somewhat different position from the one he (Murdoch) showed to the Irish family of 19 year old Michael Delaney who, close to his home in Wapping, East London, was crushed under the wheels of a News of the World transporting TNT lorry, the firm which like Murdoch himself, originated in Australia as Thompson National Transport and with which Murdoch has long maintained a close commercial connection, and the firm Murdoch used to break the 1987 print union strike.

The driver of the TNT lorry did not stop until he was at Heston Services, near Heathrow, some 20 miles away from the killing.

At the inquest, Michael’s family was distraught at seeing the lorry driver and the investigating police office at lunchtime laughing and drinking at a nearby pub.
Many individuals working for the Metropolitan Police, including several who resigned in connection to allegations of impropriety, went on to work for Murdoch’s News International, owners of the Sun and News of the World newspapers.

Some of these individuals, including a News International newspaper editor in 1989, Andy Coulson (former ‘advisor’ to UK Prime Minister, David Cameron), along with former Sun editor Rebekah Brooks, have been indicted on matters relating to the News International phone hacking scandal, a scandal which caused much distraught and pain to the family of murdered teenager Millie Dowler and connected to which the activities of News International employees impacted upon and jeopardised legal proceedings relating to same.

The police officer in charge at the Wapping dispute subsequently resigned for ‘a matter of impropriety’.

Unfortunately Michael Delaney, or Millie Dowler are able to put on record their views regarding the conduct of News International employees or police officers connected to their own deaths, in the case of Michael Delaney relating to the circumstances of his death, in the case of Millie Dowler relating to the corruption regarding bribes paid to corrupt police officers.

That’s because they’re dead whilst most of those connected to scandal in turn connected to each issue are very much alive, and until recently, quite influential in some quarters !

As in the same way as re matters connected to the banking sector..........in relation to these killings, in turn connected to corporate filth, will we see justice...... will the families of 19 year old Michael Delaney and 13 year old Millie Dowler ever see justice ?

She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love over night
Hey man, what's wrong with that?
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When she took him home to meet her mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood

Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie you're gonna cry

All right, what's all this about?
I love her, man
Oh yeah, man, let me tell you
I don't want no honky in my family, you dig?
No honky in my family

See what I mean
Louie really caused a scene
He did, I tell you
Ain't no diff'rence 'tween black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean

Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie you're gonna cry

There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to his mama and papa
Louie had a terrible fright

What's goin' on?
Well, we're in love
Now listen, let me tell you
I don't want no spook in my family
Get it, no spook in my family

See what I mean
Louie really caused a scene
He did, I tell you
Ain't no diff'rence 'tween black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean

Louie Louie Louie ....
