Leaking Like A Sieve
The police are now investigating the phone hacking allegations surrounding the News of the World (NOTW) - seriously this time - and even though NOTW has closed down.
So the long arm of the law is at long last doing its job properly - is the conclusion that the public are being invited to draw.
In which case what I want to know is - how come all these leaks to the press and media are still taking place?
How do certain newspapers and journalists get to know who is about to be arrested - or what supposedly confidential e-mails contain - if these details are not being handed out selectively by the police?
On the one hand we are being told that everyone is on their best behaviour - and everything is now above board - and is being done by the book.
Yet the evidence suggests otherwise - because no one but the police are privy to this information.
The cosy relationship between the police and certain journalists - appears to be alive and well - it's just that different newspapers and coppers are involved.
What other conclusion can be drawn from events over the weekend - when a major police investigation is leaking like a sieve.
