News of the world bites the dust
p2pnet view – P2P | Crime | Politics : – The News of the World — or “news of the screws”, as it was popularly known – has shut down its presses after 168 years of (often) scurrilus revelations.
Owned by Australian media dinosaur Rupert Murdoch, its demise came in the wake of a phone-hacking scandal of epic proportions, even for a publication infamous for reporting scandals, such as John Profumo’s affair with ex-showgirl Christine Keeler.
Profumo was, at the time UK minister for war.
Another of Keeler’s lovers was Soviet naval attaché, Eugene Ivanov, who was under MI5 surveillance.

I am wondering if Riper Murder and his son are going to go to prison or not.
