Oh Dear - looks like Beckie is cleaning house - Charlie Brooks claims the bag!!

<snip>
Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.

The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.

The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of the prime minister David Cameron.

It is understood the bag was handed into security at around 3pm and that shortly afterwards, Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.

8. You can't make stuff like this up!
I'll tell you honestly - they are making so many mistakes at this point, that it really shows PANIC.

That they are so panicked tells me some ugliness is about to come rolling right on out into the open.

24. When you're convinced you'll never be caught
Or if you're convinced that your cause is not just right, but righteous, you don't think you'll ever be called to account, except in some fawning memoir. When the forces of justice are actually closing in, a career full of privilege and prerogative doesn't just fall away to criminal cunning. These people have been world class at being just this sort of overreach for so long, they simply lose all that carefully cultivated control (or illusion of control) when events finally catch up with them.

My wife informed me of that, and I trust her completely when it comes to hair coloring.

23. I guess when you are used to thinking you are untouchable...
You might do stupid things like dumping evidence... but to do it so close to home is about as stupid as it gets.

This requires a constant, uninterrupted supply!

32. such an odd news item.
I am guessing it isn't anything - except good old poetic justice in the sense that she has over seen the hounding of folks and going through every little detail for a story - and now is on the receiving end of the treatment.
