Rebekah Brooks has affectionately entertained would-be prime ministers, of differing hues, and duly endorsed each at will inexplicably, in exchange for what might sell newsprint. Advantage was gained through the currency of privileged information bought and sold, through the medium of the Metropolitan Police, such a routinely acceptable practice that the exotic goddess of newsprint, failed to deny the practice, when asked about it by a parliamentary committee.
On the back of the high moral tone adopted by the Prime Minister on the routine theft of parliamentary expenses, Cameron failed to recognise the pitfall of an even greater scandal in waiting, and for which he hoped to gain electoral advantage and indeed did gain electoral advantage.
An ebbing and flowing of dodgy dealing and expertise in information flow between the Metropolitan Police, routinely bunged by the news media as they schmoozed the political classes seeking electoral advantage, all trading in a common interest in classified dodgy info, the price determined by the biggest purse found in Wapping, East London.
