*unt….bit of a wide boy

Such a shame – Newscorp and Jeremy *unt would’ve been a pure love-match

Newscorp legal chiefs Tom Crone and Jon Chapman are on ‘leaving bonuses’ of £1.5m and £1.6m respectively….which they won’t get until after they give evidence to the Culture, Media & Sport Committee. So one might expect that such huge sums of money will weigh heavily on their veracity as they offer testimony about who knew what and when among the Wapping Liars.

It does seem to make a mockery of things, does it not? And dear old Rebekah Redtop will have to struggle by, when she returns from her all expenses world tour, on a £4m payout.

Meanwhile, more details are emerging of those ‘jobs will be found’ claims for the 280 non-hacking journos lucky enough to carry the can for the disgusting Murdoch clan of nationality-changing coke-snorters. Most of the vacancies are for menial tasks in places like Bolivia and St Helena. And no former NotW writers will be given a job at the New Seven-Day Soaraway Sun….just in case they’re caught later, and thus depicted as signs of contagion.

The full story is at Private Eye.

This is how Jeremy *unt, our Minister in charge of Britain’s Culcha, wrote about Rupert Murdoch previously on Hackgate:

‘Rather than worry about Rupert Murdoch owning another TV channel, what we should recognise is that he has probably done more to create variety and choice in British TV than any other single person.’ Yes Jeremy, you can even segment sh*te if you’re a money-grubbing dried up old Digger determined that a whole nation you hate should learn to love it.

‘Like all good Conservatives, Hunt is a cheerleader for Rupert Murdoch’s contribution to the health of British television,’ gushed Rhyminge-Slang’s website earlier this year. It gusheth not any more: in fact, there is not a mention anywhere on the site of media plurality. However, there’s a rivetting piece about Jeremy discussing The Big Society with Farnham Clergy. This is what Jeremy told himself after interviewing himself afterwards:

“We had a really good discussion. I thought the most interesting question was about the role of the big society in addressing moral and spiritual issues and not just practical problems. I’m not sure I had an answer.”

Honesty is always the best policy, Jeremy.
