In cricket terms Cameron is really on the back foot

[malaise]

A good ball could dismiss him plumb lbw but the old guard is bowling some lollypops to keep him at the wicket. :evilgrin:

Foreign Secretary William Hague has defended David Cameron, saying he was "not embarrassed" by the extent of the PM's dealings with News International.

Mr Cameron has met its top executives 26 times in the 15 months since he became prime minister, it emerged.

Mr Hague defended the PM's decision to entertain Andy Coulson after the latter quit as an aide over the News of the World phone-hacking scandal.

A list of engagements released by Downing Street shows that Rebekah Brooks, who quit as News International chief executive on Friday, had been entertained at the prime minister's official residence Chequers in June and August last year.

All of Margaret Thatcher's dirty deeds with Murdoch will come out before she croaks (maybe she's lucky that she's suffering from dementia). Tony Blair should be running scared as well, but Cameron is in deep trouble.
