• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

PHONE HACKING
From the June 2023 issue of Prospect magazine

This co-relates with 'Morgan was aware of hacking, court told', front page today's (London) Guardian.

Not a lot to do with writing but a great deal concerning ethics, friends in High Places, and scapegoating. Fascinating, though it helps to know something of the background since not much is given here.

I wish I'd seen Elton John and Prince H side by side on a public bench inside the court eating their sandwiches together!


Full disclosure: I have never hacked a phone – but I was shown how by a close contact at one of the newspapers that has always denied being involved.
