Piers Morgan the next on the Leveson chopping block?

Let's hope so.

[Mr_B]

Hasn't he already been there via live link, and with a copy of his book on display ?

[Teppic]

Morgan revealed to be a lying ? Who'd have thunk it...

[Stu R]

He's as good as immune IMO.

[EDLT]

He's got a permanent Get Out of Jail Free card, like Tony Blair.

[Gun]

I would love it if he were.

Or Paxman likes telling a porky pie?

I wouldn't like a poll on who of those two is less likely to lie if I was Peers......

I'm sure the BBC won't him as interesting as they have the rest of the celebs that have been before the Leveson enquiry. After all, he's a leftie so he can't be evil.

Why is Morgan immune? What is the 'get out of jail free card' he has?

[moparmick]

It's called socialism, i believe leveson is the left's very own mc carthy trials. You could say, to blunt the power of centre right media, which then leaves them unfettered access to indoctrinate the proles.

A US visa, a toothless enquiry panel, a [presumably] seriously good legal team and undoubtedly a list of names to gladly throw under the bus, would be my guess.

OK, but don't the Murdochs have all of that as well? And, with the exeption of the US visa (which shouldn't protect a British citizen from the law here, anyway) so does Rebekah Brookes.

Probably, but Morgan's an irrelevant at this jucture (if only due to chronology), and the spotlight's not on him. The Murdochs and Brookes are what they want as they're slap bang in the middle of it. The way I see it the latter stands to be the fall girl for the former, and probably all they'll get beyond some scumbag private detectives and spin type people.

Still can't see her doing any serious time though - as much as I'd love to see it - and the chances of anything happening to Teflon Piers off the back of some hyperbole by a BBC lacky isn't happening. Ghostbusters couldn't get to the bottom of that much slime - Brookes is an open book by comparison
