A while ago, someone drew my attention to a Tweet from @fleetstreetfox regarding Lord Rennard.

December 19, 2012 117 comments

Along with several other interested parties, I have spent the afternoon digesting the Pollard report on whether the Newsnight ‘Savile’ programme was pulled from the transmission schedule because of ‘pressure from above’ or not. Watching Twitter on the subject, the phrase that has been lept on with glee has been that Peter Rippon’s decision not to permit transmission was [...]

Delicious! I have taken the precaution of some screen shots, perchance the BBC should realise what they have done before you read this. It all started so innocently. Leo Kelion, one of their technology ‘experts’ discovered that feeds from thousands of Trendnet home security cameras have been breached, allowing any web user to access live [...]
