I think this may be a first for SE23.com - a link to the New York Times.

And why post such a far flung link here.

It contains a report that the News Corp gang have a plan to pay off one of their former members, Rebekah Brookes, in the sum of $11m - yup - eleven million dollars.

Clearly their leader feels that she must be innocent of all alleged charges - what other possible motive might he have for settling such an astronomical sum upon her.

So there we are - we should cease worrying - no-one's privacy was invaded - the profits of their collective activities are for the sharing.

Makes you feel safe to go to bed at night knowing your personal details were not hawked around to the highest bidder with the lowest of morals and with one singular objective - make a buck the fastest way you can.
