Ex Prime Minisiter Gordon Brown Fears His Phone Was Hacked
Gordon Brown has contacted the Police to state that his mobile phone might have been illegaly listened to while he was in Government.
It is not clear as to whether he believes his message box was listened to or his actual voice transmission.
If it were his speech transmission than it would not be simply journalists but that would have to be the MI5 or their equivalent. as mobile phone calls in these modern times are scrambled and cannot be over heard.
If he thinks it was his message box then of course he must take some, if not all, of the blame. Any one with a message box needs to set a pin number so it is private. That I would of thought was pretty obvious to most people!
I can see why Gordon Brown might be very concerned after his childish outburst on Sky TV when he called his own supporter a bigot.
Perhaps he was simply concerned that his thinking in how he thought he saved the world would be shown as an absolute failure for that is exactly what it was.
Or perhaps he was worried that his latest stealth tax was going to be made public.
It is understood that Blair has even complained about messages that he left on other peoples phones when he was PM during the years 2005 to 2007 when Gordon Brown was Chancellor.
The mobile phone hacking scandal has to date centred on the "News of the World" paper which has always claimed that this was the work of one rogue reporter.
Clive Goodman "The News of the World" former Royal editor was jailed in prison with a private detective in January 2007 having both been found guilty of interceptiing phone messages.
During the last three years the CPS Crown Prosecution Service and the Police have maintained the stance that there was not sufficient evidence to bring a case against anybody else.
