The Met is clearly either corrupt or incompetent. This being Britain I would normally have opted for incompetence as the explanation, but I'm not sure now....

Today's challenge is to see how many phone-tap jibes we can aim at Kevo before it gets boring. For me they're becoming funnier with every instalment. Bunny, you’re missing the point.

"If that had happened I would know about it," he said.</i> What bloody cheek! Does he expect anyone to believe that his company would pay out £1 million to hush up court cases without telling its main owner? After this and the Damien Green incident I think all public figures should encrypt their communications, starting with their e-mail (which is pretty easy with PGP). I'm seriously considering encrypting my own e-mail! Murdoch told Bloomberg news last night that he knew nothing about the payments. “If that had happened I would know about it,” he said.
