Hugh Grant has joined the fray against the News Corp phone hacking calamity and was on hand to deliver his personal perspective of things outside the British House of Commons yesterday. He told the BBC that Margaret Thatcher was an undignified sycophant and that every prime minister since then has basically tickled Murdoch’s belly for him.
The actor spoke about how he recorded a conversation between himself and Paul McMullen, former features editor at the News of the World, in which the journalist revealed details of phone hacking by the media, and then proceeded to belittle McMullen beautifully.
Later he joined Richard Quest on CNN’s Quest Means Business to discuss things in a less tabloidy manner, as one comes to expect from Mr Quest.

And in case you missed it, earlier today, Nic Dawes, editor of the Mail & Guardian, spoke to 2oceansVibe Radio’s Morning Meeting about the saga facing the Murdoch empire.
