• 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.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

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.
