The Prime Minister said he believed the Leveson Inquiry, rather than a separate probe, is the right way to investigate the Government’s exchanges with News Corp as it is ‘far tougher than anything the civil service could arrange’.
Mr Cameron admitted discussing matters with Mr Murdoch’s son and top News Corp executive James Murdoch at a Christmas party at the Oxfordshire home of then News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks.
Asked whether he was embarrassed that he was even at the party, Mr Cameron said: ‘Clearly, after all that’s been written and said about it, yes of course one might do things differently.
Asked whether he was embarrassed that he was even at the party, Mr Cameron said: ‘Clearly, after all that’s been written and said about it, yes of course one might do things differently.’
Under scrutiny: Jeremy Hunt faces damaging allegations that he supported News Corp’s bid when he was supposed to be impartial.Mr Cameron said he did not recall the exact details of his conversation with Mr Murdoch but that it concerned the recent controversy over Business Secretary Vince Cable’s comments that he had ‘declared war’ on News Corporation.
‘What I recall saying, although I can’t remember every detail of the conversation, is saying something like: clearly that was unacceptable, it was embarrassing for the Government, and to be clear from now on this whole issue would be dealt with impartially, properly, in the correct way, but obviously I had nothing to do with it, I recused myself from it,’ he said.
Mr Cameron admitted that he courted Murdoch newspapers in opposition, but said it was ‘no great mystery’ as he had tried to win over many media outlets.
‘The thing that people are asking is was there some big deal, some big agreement between me and Rupert Murdoch or James Murdoch that in return for support for the Conservative Party I would somehow help their business interests or allow this merger to go through,’ he said.
‘That is not true. Rupert Murdoch said it under oath at the Leveson Inquiry, James Murdoch said it under oath, I will say it under oath.
‘I did want the support of as many newspapers and television commentators for the Conservative Party because I wanted to take the country in a different direction.
‘When it comes to the Murdoch newspapers, I was trying to convince a set of newspapers with largely centre-right, conservative views anyway, that they would be better off with the Conservative Party running the country.
‘There is no great mystery here – that is what I was trying to do.’
Mr Cameron said it would be ‘wrong’ to sack Mr Hunt because his special adviser Adam Smith – who quit on Wednesday as the row grew – had been ‘too close’ to the Murdoch empire and ‘acted inappropriately’.
A group of Missouri Republicans introduced a legislation last week called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
The bill, if you didn’t already know, would prevent schools from teaching any type of gay history.
The purpose … to prevent teachers from teaching it because those against it believes it’s a choice and not a sexual preference you are born with.
NewsOne columnist Michael Arceneaux wrote his thoughts on the issue in a column. Below is an excerpt:
I was introduced to AIDS, and subsequently, gay people at the age of 6, following the death of a relative. The words gay or homosexual weren’t the terms used to describe same-sex lovers, though. The word faggotwas, which from its very utterance of the word in all its hate-filled tone, instilled a great fear in me that would last well into early adulthood.
It would be years before someone bothered to declare that gay people, which I knew secretly included myself, were just folks with a sexual orientation outside of the norm. Such is a lesson I wish was instilled in me much sooner in my life, which is why I find it rather pathetic that Republican lawmakers in Missouri are going out of their way to prevent such not-so-outlandish facts from being shared with school children – particularly at a time when little by little gay Americans are inching toward wider acceptance.
What was going on in that prison? Mike Tyson says during his three years in jail for rape, he got a prison official pregnant. He says she did not have the baby. Tyson, who recently performed a one-man show in Las Vegas, mentioned this to ESPN as one of the subjects he left out of the show. Back in 1992, Tyson was sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping an 18-year old woman. He was released in 1995 after serving three years.

RETIRED/BORED HUSBAND
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women – she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:
Dear Mrs. Harris,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people’s carts when they weren’t looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women’s restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, ‘Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away’. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway
6. August 14: Moved a ‘CAUTION – WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, ‘Why can’t you people just leave me alone?’ EMTs were called.
9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the Store suspiciously while loudly humming the ‘ Mission Impossible’ theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his ‘Madonna look’ by using different sizes of funnels on his chest.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, he yelled ‘PICK ME! PICK ME!’
14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a
fetal position and screamed ‘OHNO! IT’S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!’
15. Took a box of condoms to the check out clerk and asked where the fitting room was?
And last, but not least:
16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, ‘Hey! There’s no toilet paper in here.’
One of the clerks passed out.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED!
Thank you for this posting.
At a time when intentions manifest at warp speed and our everyTesting the Beliefs you Hold
There are some simple tests you can apply to your beliefs. One way to
tell if you have beliefs that don’t serve you is to hold a belief in
awareness and ask yourself if the belief empowers you to reach the
highest and best in the universe or does it bind you to dense realities
that limit and disempower you? Pay attention to your feeling state when
you focus on the realities your beliefs create. Do you feel angry or
agitated or do you feel happy and at peace?
Here is another test. Imagine you’re holding a belief in your hand. Does
it feel heavy and leaden or do you feel yourself lift off the ground as
you hold it? What brings you down is a belief you can let go of. What
lifts you up is a belief that holds the power to lift you to your
highest potentials.
Everyone Deserves Love
One reason some hold disempowering beliefs is that they feel they don’t
deserve to be loved and empowered. Unfortunately this is a core belief
that can disable a lot of empowering beliefs. The solution to this is
simple: adopt the belief that each person, as a spark of spirit, is
deserving of the best the universe has to offer. Each person inherently
deserves unconditional love and the blessings of the universe. So long
as you sincerely believe good things are the birthright of every person,
you’ll be able to extend this belief to yourself as well. When you
believe you deserve the best the universe has to offer, each day becomes
a joyful journey along timelines where you experience ever expanding
realms of love and bliss.
expression reflects our inner world with perfect transparency, it is a
good time to visit the beliefs that determine the shape and form of the
realities we manifest. Our beliefs narrow or expand our field of
potentials and determine the timelines we will move along. As we move
further into the new time, the power of our beliefs becomes more
profound than ever before.
Beliefs are filters we place on reality. Everyone holds beliefs about
themselves, about others, the nature of reality and the universe. Some
beliefs empower us while others disempower us. The good news is that
it’s just as easy to hold an empowering belief as it is to hold a
disempowering one. It’s just as easy to believe in a world that radiates
the unlimited love and blessings of spirit as it is to believe in a
world where pain, suffering and struggle are our fate.
Shining the Light of Awareness on Beliefs
You can examine your beliefs to see if you hold any that are holding you
down. For a time you may choose to become a detective of your life to
shine the light of your awareness on your beliefs. Ask yourself what you
believe about your potentials and your love-ability. Ask yourself what
you believe you deserve.
It is also helpful to ask yourself how you see others and the world
around you. Do you believe others love and support you, or do you
believe others use you toward their own ends and abandon you when you
need them most? Do you believe the saying that ‘no good deed goes
unpunished’ or do you believe the good you do returns to you tenfold?
Do you believe in the divine wisdom of the universe or do you believe
you are a hapless pawn in the hands of a hostile and punishing god? Are
you a victim or an empowered being who creates your own realities? The
identities you hold offer important clues to your beliefs.
Your Beliefs are Real and True for You
Any belief you hold is real and true for you. If you believe you’re
unloved, you will live your life as if this is true. If you believe
you’re loved for the unique qualities you possess as a human being, you
will feel loved and you will live your life accordingly. When you feel
loved you will love. When you love, you open the door for more love to
flow into your life.
Testing the Beliefs you Hold
There are some simple tests you can apply to your beliefs. One way to
tell if you have beliefs that don’t serve you is to hold a belief in
awareness and ask yourself if the belief empowers you to reach the
highest and best in the universe or does it bind you to dense realities
that limit and disempower you? Pay attention to your feeling state when
you focus on the realities your beliefs create. Do you feel angry or
agitated or do you feel happy and at peace?
Here is another test. Imagine you’re holding a belief in your hand. Does
it feel heavy and leaden or do you feel yourself lift off the ground as
you hold it? What brings you down is a belief you can let go of. What
lifts you up is a belief that holds the power to lift you to your
highest potentials.
