NEWS UPDATE:
David Cameron has just agreed that there will be a public inquiry into the phone hacking scandal and that there should be a wider one into media regulation more broadly.
This is no time to relax the pressure - meet by Nelson's Column on Thursday at 5:30pm - we'll go on to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at 5.45pm for a freeze flash mob to call for an immediate pause in the consultation on the proposed News Corps takeover of BskyB!

As well as the massive support via online petitions and the debates in parliament people have an opportunity to voice their displeasure in preson. Why should we put up with the shoddy, dishonest and downright disgraceful journalistic practices undertaken by News of the World and supported by senior staff still in place at News Corporation.
Flashmob outside the Dept of Culture. Media and Sport, we'll have a creative action planned too so stay tuned for updates.
Come along, bring friends, share this event and don't forget to bring a phone since we may need to leave some voicemails on Ruperts mobile asking him to stop tapping our messages.
