Rebecca Brooks

I think Rebecca or is it Rebekkah should certainly be made to pay for all the misery that scurrilous rag she edited caused over the years. I think she is much too ugly to even think of spanking!

Well, she is married to a racehorse trainer, so it's not impossible she's already in receipt of the occasional cropping, which no doubt she enjoys immensely. I think a more fitting punishment for her Sundry muck-raking sins would be to pose for page 3 every day for a year with transcripts of all her private conversations printed alongside.

Confession time: in Tesco's they lay out all the national papers in piles on a display table, and every chance I get I pick up copies of the Mirror or whatever else and put them on top of the Sun - if even one deluded reader chooses something else that day, I feel my work is done. And I'm not even a Liverpool fan.

I like it. Every little helps! LOL!

Sounds like the underground campaign when Tony Blair's autobiography came out - slyly moving it in bookshops and libraries, for example to the fiction or horror sections.

Apparently she is going to be prosecuted. A sacrificial lamb if ever I saw one! If the Murdoch's don't join her in the dock I shall lose my faith in British justice entirely! Not that I have much faith in it anyway!

Believe me, it's not just British justice.

British Justice has rarely stood martyr in the face of political expedience down the centuries. But Rebekkah's editorial policies were as cynical as anyone else's while she had the power, so if she is hoist on her own petard she won't be entitled to much sympathy. I suppose someone will compose an opera about her one day.

I certainly have had similar thoughts about Rebekkah, but it's complicated because I could also forgive her anything for that shade of hair. Am just finishing a story in which a certain Elaine McClintock, daughter of the New Zealand media mogul Roger McClintock, suffers a certain loss of face
