Charlie and Rebekah Brooks cleared of all charges
Two years ago, in the bar of a Chelsea restaurant, Charlie Brooks told me that the charges against him and his wife would go away and today he’s been proven right.
I’ve long claimed that Rebekah Brooks has been subjected to being pillioried and placed in the role of scapegoat for the phone hacking scandal and with today’s verdict, she can now hopefully put this sorry episode behind her.
Two stories to keep beside you
Ban the bashing of Brooks
Rebekah Brooks sees off the first of five charges I am by no means an apologist for Rebekah Brooks but, equally, I have repeatedly argued that she ought not to be the sole scapegoat for phone hacking. Yesterday, after the first of five charges in her trial was dismissed, a milestone was reached and […]
Justice and Janner
Matthew Steeples suggests a report into allegations against the late Lord Janner provides proof of a cover-up at the highest level
Ms Brooks was, to many, the ideal figure to pin the blame on yet she stood firm and has proven she had no role in the shocking activities that went on at News International. May Charlie and Rebekah Brooks now be allowed to get on with their lives.

What a surprise, I never believed for one second that Brooks would ever board a Serco Van. Brooks now has the time to work on her memoir “Cinderella Liberty; Who flung the dung?” Brooks is again sitting on a gold mine.
Great news for Rebekah and Charlie. I’ll raise a glass to you both later.
Shame on you Matthew. Shame on you.
Every thing that is repugnant about life in Britain today is personified by these horrendous people….the social climbing and hideously ugly Brooks; her corpulent husband and the common little oik, Coulson.
And, of course, Cameron, who suffers from a judgment by pass thought this little Essex runt could burnish his image…turds and polish come to mind. A nest of vipers…
Well said Peter Wayde ……That this repellant example of human garbage is now “Innocent”(Ha!Ha!) is a very very sad reflection of what Britain has become…….Ludicrous.
it is in the news, some makes you happy, some gives you the blues, it is all part of the news. Brooks and Piers Morgan lost their sense of smell long time ago. The rancid smell of shit don’t even bother them anymore. It is all about the front page.
