Phone hacking: Andy Coulson and other NoW staff due in court

Last edited Thu Aug 16, 2012, 06:58 AM - Edit history (1)

The prime minister's former communications director, Andy Coulson, and six former News of the World employees are appearing at Westminster magistrates' court to face phone-hacking charges on Thursday morning.

The seven former News of the World journalists, plus the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, are due to appear at the court in central London at 10am on Thursday morning.

They are the first people to appear in court in connection with phone hacking at the News of the World since Scotland Yard reopened its investigation in January 2011.

Coulson and Mulcaire will be appearing in court alongside Stuart Kuttner, former managing editor of the News of the World, Ian Edmondson, former assistant editor (news), Greg Miskiw, a former news editor, Neville Thurlbeck, former chief reporter, and James Weatherup, former assistant news editor.

Necessary routine - they'll all be referred to Crown Court, for trial by jury , if necessary at their own reguest.

edit to add : case was adjourned until 26 September at Southwark Crown Court http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19280154

Such gear don't quite agree with me. I recall discovering Diamond White cider on a hot sunny afternoon at a craft fair. I drunk the cold can out in the sun and promptly fell asleep on the grass.

7.2 seems to be available. I did search last night for the gear you mentioned and it only seemed to be available from Holland.

It's not subtle and I'm surprised that T-i-B hasn't been on here already accusing me of crimes against beer.

I only tried it one night out of curiosity. Honest.

There are some magnificent strong beers out there, and some that are utter filth. I will however post something from The Daily Mash which is all kinds of awesome. David Bowie's real Ale Blog!
