London - (Rotten Ass Mess): The News of the Screws buggered over three thousand people according to a High Court judgement delivered today.
But the phone buggery case cost parent company News International one million pounds after the judge said senior publishing executives' behavior had been disappointing, immoral and probably illegal.
The judge's remarks were immediately relayed to Prime Monster Gorgon Brown who instructed his minions to phone all those named by the judge and offer them safe seats in Labour Party heartlands.
Two former hacks were jailed over the case and over 100 Rupert Murdoch employees received substantial bonuses in the paypackets in recognition of skating on extremely thin ice and getting away with it like they always do.
