Just as the Norwegian terrorist attacks were starting to get seriously embarrassing for Britain there's been a new development in the News of the World (NotW) phone hacking scandal. Today (28/7/11) it has been revealed that the private investigator employed by NotW hacked into the telephone of a woman called Sara Payne.
In 2000 Sara Payne's 8 year old daughter Sarah Payne was murdered by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting. This prompted the NotW to campaign for and win the so-called "Sarah's Law" which allows parents to go to the police and check if someone - like a new neighbour - is on the sex offenders register of paedophiles and sex offenders. In a sickening publicity stunt the then Labour government appointed Sara Payne to a paid government advisers role.
Due to having no qualification other then having had her daughter murdered Sara Payne didn't exactly give value for money in her government advisor role and Sarah's law does make it very difficult for Britain's stable of pet paedophiles to operate discreetly. So this latest development is to promote discussion about those to issues. I just thought I'd mention that in case anyone got confused and thought it was being done out of concern for Sara Payne.
