It absolutely must be done. There seems to be an anomaly in the law concerning settlements. Hugh Grant also had to settle bcos the rules, as they stand, favour those with money to offer at the expense of truth and justice.
A final note on this…Whilst I am disgusted that at the front of it at least it appears that a lot of money has bought some relief to the Murdoch corporation but I smile when I think that the people involved in those crimes might not sleep so soundly tonight about the future..
There surely isn’t anyone on the planet, even Mars, who doesn’t think that this outcome isn’t a golden opportunity to investigate, charge & convict the vicious uk political media monsters who have betrayed our people to feed their greed through their tawdry trade in lies?
A police force that arrests peaceful climate protesters while ignoring the criminality of Al Fayed, NGN, PPE contracts etc - how exactly is that “policing by consent”?
Just like medicine, engineering, accountancy etc journalism needs to be a regulated industry with a professional body with ethical standards, academic requirements, and continuous professional development totally INDEPENDANT of the media orgs that employ said journalists.
they lied to parliament so that is enough cause and crimianl accepted action at long last ... should spark a number of actions, which no press wants so wait for the Meghan hate to double ... wonder will the Mail, Mirror, telegraph call for it ? course not all the same

He says the practices were “industrial in scale”.

If crimes were committed, that can properly be investigated by the police and CPS, regardless of a settlement, all well and good
But Parliament has enough to deal with, surely
