Ex-Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson and ex-News International executive Rebekah Brooks will be charged in connection with payments to police and public officials.
While both are being charged as part of Operation Elvden, I would like to know why both haven’t been behind bars already.
I think it was in 2003 when both were sat in front of a parliamentary committee and Brooks openly admitted to MP’s, journalists and the watching public that she did pay police for stories.
Sitting next to her Coulson jumped in and tried to explain it away but it was too late she’d already admitted it, yet neither faced any charges and both walked free and carried on with their lives, despite acknowledging they were criminals.
Hopefully this time round they’ll be charged for their crimes and receive sufficient sentences so both can learn they can’t do what they like and expect to get away with it.
