This is a totally unacceptable, and will make even more difficulty for David Cameron PM, this man was getting hundreds of thousand in payments from News International whilst working for the Conservative Party, what sort of message does this send out to Joe Public

Now, how exactly will the PM spin this?

Either he is a corrupt and utterly bought politician of the lowest of orders, barely bothering to conceal his contempt for the system of government or possessing any ethical principles at all...OR he is gullible, clueless, lazy (in terms of making sure adequate background checks are done) and a total pushover for any glib smooth talker who will buy him a slap-up dinner.

Whichever it is, Mr. Cameron is not fit to be in charge of a popcorn vender at a movie theatre, much less head of a government.

Just maybe having politician­­­­­­s, media, police and billionair­­­­­­es in bed together is not a good idea.

Society has lost trust in politician­­­­­­s....­.­.­.­.­.

Society has lost trust in police .........

Society has lost trust in the media.....­­­­­­...

Society has lost trust in the wealthy...­­­­­­.....

When ethics and morality has been lost by the media, police, politician­­­­­­s and billionair­­­­­­es where do people turn? ........ This hacking scandal has exposed illegal, immoral and unethical behavior of police, politician­­­­­­s, media and the wealthy...­­­­­­.....­.­.­.

It needs to be cleaned up and prosecuted so the public can have trust in its institutio­­­­­­ns.

Has there been a cover up going on for years?

We need to restore ethics in the media, police, politician­­­­­s and the wealthy.

Society has become less ethical. Both individual­­­­s and institutio­­­­ns need to be cleaned up.

Corruption by the elites should not be ignored or covered up

David Cameron must step down.

This is insupportable.

Totally in agreement.

Cameron failed miserably to do any due diligence in Coulsons appointment how can we be expected to trust him ever again
