If she really didn't know what was going on at her own newspaper, she should have been sacked. If she did know it was happening, she should have been sacked. Whichever way you look at it, her being awarded £3.5m is a slap in the face not only to the victims of the phone hacking scandal, but also to the people at NOTW who had nothing to do with the hacking and lost their jobs anyway. How much do we think those people will be getting?

Also in other walks of life,people who resign and leave lose any pay off they would have been entitled to normally.

The Dowlers are naturally angry, Rebekah Brookes is either a good liar or incompetent,either way she should not get this pay off at all but certainly not until,or more to the point 'if' she is totally cleared of any wrongdoing or major blame after the full Police investigation.
