When the media, police and politicians are found to be in bed together nothing good can come of it. Can you trust the media? Can you trust the politicians? Can you trust the police?

This hacking scandal has made the public less sure of who is fair, righteous and ethical?

Allegations of illegal behavior, payoffs, blackmail, immoral and unethical behavior leave the public wondering who can be trusted to look out for the average person.

Really concerned Rebekah Brook's one year plan is to cause an emergency state underwhich a fasci party can take the whole enchilada Croix de Feu style. BTW, Beck, our ugly little baby thing that won't die, besides calling the youth murdered by a political opponent "Hitler Youth," has said if Obama LOOSES, we will still confront a race riot. FOX, Ailes, Murdoch...they love this stuff and likely contribute to it. But that's another heated debate that leads nowhere other than allowing them to claim victim status while homes burn, people die and the truth is slaughtered for profit..

Slow to act but quick to seek political advantage by thinking the people are more disgusted with the police than with Cameron. How delightful, the big mouth gets to eat some crow.

I can't understand why Camron wants to hire Bratton, but continue to ignore his advise. He'd advise more police and a more diversified force. Cameron says less cops is the ticket. So, is he hiring Bratton because he was hired as Kroll's CEO to clean up their damaged reputation? Kroll hacked phones of a client's takeover target they were "analyzing." Is Bratton the quintessential Clean Up Man?

Camoron has stated that some sections of British Society are sick..........Well yes they are sick, sick of cuts in services, sick of high prices, sick of companies announcing record profits and then increasing their prices yet again, sick of massive bonus's, sick of MP's making inflated fraudulent expenses claims, sick of high unemployment, sick of being involved in wars overseas, in short sick of him...........

These people are slotted into positions of power, if you think we have democracy in this country your obviously suffering delusions, all parties are the same, you can only vote in the back benchers, the Eton brigade are earmarked for the top posts from the outset and this is why we receive similar disservice across the political spectrum, till we impose an across the board ban on leadership selection in all parties we'll suffer the same garbage we've been forced to endure for the last 50 years, why is it our political leaders all land "safe" seats on their way to the top, irrespective of party, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that one out does it.

I am surprised at the level of support for the police, which is good to see I suppose. I think the Prime Ministers rating and the Mayors rating are interesting in different ways. The prime Minister is not up for re-election until 2015 in all probability, so I doubt the riots will be in peoples minds when they cast their votes. It may damage his image long term though and people might start to perceive him as a weak leader.

The effect on Johnson is far more interesting, I wonder if it will damage his chances next year of holding on to the mayoralty? Until now, he hasnt done anything spectacularly badly, the administration of London was in a good shape when he took over and he has continued what was already happening, but not added anything. I have felt that where he would trip up would be when something unexpected happend, and he isnt prepared to cope with it and dosent know what to do. I think this has happened now, but I dont know if the damage will last to next may.
