Now it seems there are claims that unidentified editors have attempted suicide and that some managerial personnel at British news organizations have hired personal security guards.
Claims of everything such as "newspapers been doing this for hundreds of years" to cozy relations between press and London police was recent. A news editor being loaned a retired police horse is an incident providing some comic relief to how close the relationships are.
Big deal. It was hushed up as long as could be, now the cat is out of the bag so why is anyone resisting it at this point in time.
It was widespread. The press and the coppers knew it. Each made money from the relationship. Each found it convenient to overlook the extent of what was going on but neither side was ignorant enough to believe it was one rogue reporter and one rogue private investigator. Not even members of the public believed any such nonsense. So why now do we have the arrest of Rebekkah Brooks and her husband on some predawn raid? I guess its the old joke of why you should never trust a policeman: you never know when he will turn honest.
