Phone hacking: Brooks and Coulson to face charges

Eight people will face a total of 19 charges relating to phone hacking, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

They include the former News International chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the PM's ex-head of communications Andy Coulson.

All eight are charged with conspiring to intercept communications between 13 October 2001 and 9 August 2006.

Blimey, not exactly blessed with a sense of irony, is she. How many people did she put through the ringer when she was chief of the Murdoch inquisition?

I will be celebrating the charges with cheap lager. A conviction will be pure Moet and Chandon.

And I hope they cause LOTS of embarrassment to Cameron et al (after all, he employed Coulson!)
