The Leveson Inquiry proceeds with its business. Scandal and corruption revealed throughout the British establishment. It somehow makes the wrongdoing sound even more outrageous to have the facts rolled out in the ponderous dull style of the Inquiry.
But what will happen when the Leveson process finally comes to an end?
The Leveson website says: "What will happen after the report? How will the findings be used? It will be for the Government to decide how to take forward the recommendations in the report."
Which makes me suspect it will all be brushed under the carpet.
Heads must roll.
In particular Rupert Murdoch's head must roll.
It is obvious that foreign ownership of British media means that it is less accountable.
We need a law banning ownership of newspapers by non-British people.
If that means losing The Times, The Evening Standard and The Independent it will be a price worth paying.
We cannot tolerate the level of corruption that Leveson is revealing.
