A lot of what Paul said was true. Celebs are now just starting to jump on the bandwagon and using it to get noticed. Paul also raised a few good points. Steve is a celebrity, he walks down read carpets and thus attracts the papers to him.

As distressed staff prepared the final edition of the News of the World, the Church of England today threatened to withdraw its Ł4 million investment in the company unless 'senior managers' are dealt with over the hacking scandal.
The Church's ethical investment advisory group said it had written to News Corp describing the behaviour of the News of the World as 'utterly reprehensible and unethical'.
It said the closure of the paper was not a 'sufficient response' to revelations of malpractice which included allegations of illegal payments to police officers by journalists and the hacking of an estimated 4,000 mobile phones.
The church's condemnation came as it emerged:
Chairman Rupert Murdoch is flying into Britain to personally handle the crisis.
James Murdoch could face criminal charges in America under its corruption law over alleged payments made to UK police.
Andy Coulson, David Cameron's former Downing Street spin doctor has talked for the first time since his arrest.
Labour has demanded the government appoint a judge to lead the inquiry into the hacking scandal.
The church's advisory group chairman John Reynolds has insisted that the News Corp board takes 'all necessary measures' to instil investor confidence in the ethical and governance standards of the company.
A statement said: 'We cannot imagine circumstances in which we would be satisfied with any outcome that does not hold senior executives to account at News Corporation for the gross failures of management at the News of the World.'
The Church Commissioners holds shares worth around Ł3.76 million in an Ł8 billion investment portfolio.
Professor Richard Burridge, deputy chairman of the group, insisted that the threat of pulling its investment could have an impact.
He said: 'If we don't get a satisfactory answer then disinvestment comes on to the horizon, but you can't go straight to the nuclear option, you have to engage first.'
He added: "I would love to think that Rupert Murdoch lies in bed at night quaking in fear of the Church of England but I fear that may not be the case.'.

Good for the CofE .....

While I naturally feel a little for something that has been going for 168 years,I totally agree with you and it would have been appropriate for them to go out with a lot more decency by saying sorry to all that have been offended by the events of some near 10 years ago now and since.

Obviously they are unable to answer to as to the investigations going on but certainly to have shown some humility and acceptance that no matter who the staff are now, that the paper at that time got a lot wrong.

A very hacked off NOTW Journalist has apparently wrote Rebekah Brook's personal contact number on Twitter, if it's true oh dear.

What a pompous Madam she is though, I don't know how she can sleep at night or have the audacity to not even at least offer her resignation.

Murdoch says he still has total support for her, what a really ignorant person he is too.

Sadly she'll just get a new number and genuine calls will be diverted by some asisstant no doubt

Nice to see some form of remorse from them

I expect they'll make a lot of money tomorrow from their final paper. I know a lot of people are refusing to buy it but I probably will, just because all of the money is going to charity and also it's something to look back on. Mum still has newspapers from when I was born, 9/11 and 7/7. It's always interesting to look back at them.

Yes,they will, sadly I know people who are going to buy it tomorrow,they say mainly because it will be a part of history and it has a pullout of the first ever News of the World from 168 years ago.

The only bit I like of what they are saying is that it's now part of history,the past,no future.

I wish the Daily Star and the Daily Fail would join it, tacky and vile papers.

The NOTW
has a great History - even if you do not like it.

I've heard that the American government's getting stuck in now as well, I'm not usually keen on other countries dabbling in our affairs but when it comes to Rupert Murdoch I hope they rip him apart. He's a cancer to the industry.

[joeysteele]

From talking to people,it was a good paper ages ago, like most press it has swayed away from real news to making or inventing its stories at times.

Now it has paid the rpice for believing it was invincible,I doubt it very much but it would be nice to think other papers will now look internally at themselves and seek ways to regain some decent reporting and editorial competence.

It has a history yes, thankfully though now, no future, that is one good thing to come from this scandal for starters.

[joeysteele]

I know it's too much to hope for but I would love to see the fall of the Murdoch empire because of this too. Maybe if he keeps praising Rebekah Brookes and she gets brought in more to this, it might have some effect as to that starting to happen.

I bought the final one (well, the money for it is going to charity, so why not?) They have a pullout of the first ever front page, was weird reading it lol

I was tempted to get it just to see the old headlines and the first edition but I thought I would be being hypocritical after all I've said about them.
I guess it would have been interesting to read the first edition,I didn't know the money for todays sales were going to charity though.

I don't really buy papers anyway.

Two current and two former Metropolitan Police officers will be quizzed by MPs in public later about inquiries into phone-hacking at the News of the World.

Assistant Commissioner John Yates, Andy Hayman and Peter Clarke will appear before the Home Affairs Committee.

MPs are expected to ask them why the initial investigation, started in 2005, failed to uncover evidence of hacking of crime victims' voicemail messages.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers will also appear before the committee.

She is leading the current investigation into phone-hacking, Operation Weeting.
