Paul McCartney Says He Was 'Apparently' Hacked, Will Talk To UK Police

Source: Huffington Post

Paul McCartney announced Thursday that he will be contacting British police after allegations surfaced that his phone messages may have been hacked.

The former Beatle told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour, "I’ll tell you that when I go back after this tour I’m going to talk to the police because I apparently have been hacked," according to the Wrap.

McCartney's announcement comes a day after his ex-wife Heather Mills alleged that a journalist working for tabloid publisher Trinity Mirror had admitted to hacking her phone in 2001. Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, she recalled receiving a phone call from a journalist, who quoted word-for-word a voicemail message that McCartney had left her.

McCartney remarked, "I don’t know much about it, but I do think it’s a horrendous violation of privacy, and I think it's been going on for a long time and more people than we've heard about knew about it."

A fucking Beatle.

The one who would be the most likely to kick the shit out of you if you wronged his family, from what I know about all four, which is a lot.

This just got real... -er.

Fuck him - I hope he dies painfully from gout

You do know about the secret room right?

Apparently it's at all levels

This is a rival to Murdoch's News International. The Mirror is a rival to The Sun. The parent company, Trinity Mirror, also owns some local newspapers.

If it helps, Mirror Group Newspapers used to be owned by Robert Maxwell, who rivalled Murdoch in general nastiness (he stole the pension funds of his own employees, but wasn't found out until he drowned in the early 90s - never been worked out if he just fell from his yacht, or killed himself (there are inevitable conspiracy theories too, but without anyone with opportunity having a motive)).

Shit, there's a SECOND paper doing this shit?

I include the Express because the owner, Richard Desmond, is a pornographer who even withdrew from the toothless Press Complaints Commission earlier this year; to him, integrity is a foreign word, and he heavily controls what goes in the paper:

But it sounds like he's done some rotten shit...

For a laugh, the top BBC interviewer reminding Tony Blair of some of Desmond's titles, after Desmond donated to the Labour Party:

Desmond hates being reminded he still owns TV porn channels as well as his 'respectable' papers and magazines, so it seems worth getting it associated with him.

McCartney remarked, "I don’t know much about it, but I do think it’s a horrendous violation of privacy, and I think it's been going on for a long time and more people than we've heard about knew about it."

You're damn right they knew!

Blue Meanies take note.

writing about it during the divorce. He's also the one who introduced McCartney to Mills. Boy is he in trouble.

The shocking part is, I'm NOT shocked by this.

:wtf: If Piers is involved in this, he may as well kiss his career goodbye!

Thanks for the thread, onehandle.

The Fabs show the Lizard Of Aus what they're going to do to him and his buddies.

is Heather Mill's allegation. :sarcasm:

So what took her 10 years to report it ?

.... and then Rupert hacks his phone.

...there was three.

Its the Mirror Group : not News International.

More lucid of what's happened here too : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-1441365

"Spies Like Us" (a perfect description of Murky Murdoch and his fellow criminals)?

Murdoch is a "Fool on the Hill."

Sir Paul needs some "Help"!

In the meantime, these allegations are quite shocking, and those responsible will face punishment.

McCartney Mills full divorce ruling: Extracts.

In his full ruling on the McCartney divorce, the judge was highly critical of Heather Mills's evidence. Mr Justice Bennett wrote:

"The husband’s evidence was, in my judgment, balanced. He expressed himself moderately though at times with justifiable irritation, if not anger. He was consistent, accurate and honest.

"But I regret to have to say I cannot say the same about the wife’s evidence. Having watched and listened to her give evidence, having studied the documents, and having given in her favour every allowance for the enormous strain she must have been under (and in conducting her own case) I am driven to the conclusion that much of her evidence, both written and oral, was not just inconsistent and inaccurate but also less than candid. Overall she was a less than impressive witness."

"I have to say I cannot accept the wife’s case that she was wealthy and independent by the time she met the husband in the middle of 1999. Her problem stems from the lack of any documentary evidence to support her case as to the level of her earnings."

"inconsistent and inaccurate".......how polite of the Judge :rofl:

Doubtless others will also want an explanation of how come she waited 10 years to come out with the allegation.

For instance, if McCartney was a drunken wife abuser, why didn't she ask for sole custody of Beatrice? Her publicist says all the allegations were false because HE left HER. However, that doesn't get Piers Morgan off the hook for listening to, and then writing about what was a private voicemail. Anyway, I'm rooting for Sir Paul, and could care less about the ex.

This is getting more interesting by the day. I wish our media would cover this story instead of the Jeffs stuff.
