Hacking Judge Partied at Murdoch's Daughter's House-

Cameron is Screwed

'Good Morning and welcome to today's roundup of the Phone hacking stories! With all the stories breaking I'm not sure if you all see a need for a write up like this. Rec it if you like it and if the results are good I'll keep doing write-ups. I'm reading the news anyway so I don't mind but it does take a bit of time to do the typing.

First: The London Evening Standard is running an article saying that the judge Prime Minister Cameron appointed to oversee the hacking scandal has ties to Rupert Murdoch. Ends up the judge has been two parties at Murdoch's daughter's house and out to dinner once with the son-in-law.

This is VERY bad for Cameron. He will have to explain his choice now and it only makes him look even more tied to Murdoch and his minions. I have been saying all along that Cameron will have to step down over this. I think appointing this judge gets him one foot closer out the door. (it is interesting to note: The Evening Standard hasn't been following this case much but the way they word this story still seems to shelter Murdoch. They don't say "Rupert Murdoch's daughter's house" they say: " Justice Leveson has attended two evening events at the London home of PR boss Matthew Freud - who is married to Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth" as though they are distancing him from Murdoch.'
