ANOTHER PAY-OUT AND MORE SHAME FOR RUPERT.

July 22nd, 2010 • Peter • 0 comments • Related • Filed Under

 The News of the World have been ordered to pay out yet again for their sleazy journalism.
    As I predicted on this blog back in January, the High Court in London has today awarded Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie a settlement (undisclosed but likely to be huge) for the paper’s illegal intrusion of their privacy. The Screws had bought some dodgy information, and (as is their practice) drawn the conclusion that suited their permanently warped sense of news. The wrong conclusion, naturally.
   Ol’ Rupert Rumplechops must be getting mightily pissed off with his former love, The Harridan of Wapping, especially as the finishing touches are put to a fresh major revelation about the mess his people made there three years ago when they clumsily tried to cover up their involvement in a string of phone-hacking crimes.
    And the boss in London then, Les Hinton, is now boss of Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal. That will be more than a bit embarrassing.

Oh dear! Ole Rumplechops faces another big bill.

Those creative fellas at the Screws have been making up stories – again. Brad and Angelina are going to want more than a few Schillings for the tacky little newshounds’ report on their non-existent break-up. Looks like someone in Hollywood took them for a ride – again. They’ll have had to pay a lot for a tip like that, maybe from a real estate agent who got the wrong end of the stick when Pitt bought a new place [adjacent to the one he lives in with Angelina, by the way].  

And maybe, after Max Clifford gets a result, there’ll be a whole lot more voicemail hacking victims wanting to get into Rupert’s wallet.
