Leveson has said that press reporting of the hearings will be taken as evidence by the enquiry. That means the Mail's attack on Hugh Grant and attempts to intimidate him. Couldn't happen to a nicer Dacre...

Mr Murdoch's resignation as chairman perhaps reduces the perception that BSkyB's fitness to broadcast is somehow tainted by the alleged wrongdoing at News International”

Sky News has admitted that one of its senior executives authorised a journalist to conduct email hacking on two separate occasions that it said were "in the public interest" – even though intercepting emails is a prima facie breach of the Computer Misuse Act, to which there is no such defence written in law.

Gerard Tubb, the broadcaster's northern England correspondent, accessed emails belonging to John Darwin, the "canoe man" accused of faking his own death, when his wife, Anne, was due to stand trial for deception in July 2008. The reporter built up a database of emails that he believed would help defeat Anne Darwin's defence; her husband had pleaded guilty to seven charges of deception before her trial.

The same reporter accessed the email accounts of a suspected paedophile and his wife in an investigation that did not lead to any material being published or broadcast, according to a statement sent to the Guardian by Sky, which is part-owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

More than half a million pounds has been recovered from Anne Darwin in connection with an insurance fraud over her husband's faked death.

My neighbour looks a bit wrong. I think I'll go through his bins, tap his phone and computer, and keep detailed notes on his daily routine by observing him from a small hide I've constructed in his garden. It's OK though, if anything dodgy turns up, I'll go straight to the police with it.

When will these people realise that the law fucking applies to them?

If the journalist hacked into John Darwin's email account he effectively contaminated any evidence contained in the emails so rather than aiding the case for the prosecution the journalist effectively put the prosecution case in jeopardy.
