Over on my scandal site I’ve been pandering a bit, just lately, to all the rabid royal watchers out in internet land.
It was thus engaged, doing a follow up on the royal phone screwing scandal, when loe and behold, up pops an international conspiracy.
Okay, I usually avoid those like I avoid royals, but it was too good to pass up.
The base scandal involves the royal rumour journalists at Murdoch’s News of the World. Apparently they were caught out with their phone screwing (message intercepts) after they were found consistently picking up bits and pieces known to only a few people.
Enough one and ones added up to the fact that these blokes were listening in somehow. Apparently it’s easy enough if you know how.
Anyway, to the conspiracy. The intercept weren’t, we are told, reserved for the royals, celebs and politicians were regularly tracked as well.
One of these calls is said to have revealed a plot from within Britain’s Labour Party to oust the erstwhile Tony Blair, PM.
So having found this gem lackey goes straight to Rupert, who in turn contacts Tony. Now the head of Britain’s government didn’t say. “Phone intercepts? Come on old chap that is highly illegal!” No, instead out Tony went to his best mate George W Bush.
But they had to have a plan, so while Tony was in California, after visiting George, he hunkers down at Murdoch’s castle with the proprietor, some guy named Schwarzenegger and some other heavies.
Next thing George and Tony wander off on hols to take a break from all the wars they’ve been fighting and! What do you know, some terrorists, maybe; were going to blow up some planes, maybe; with bottles of diet coke or whatever, if they ever got passports and tickets.
Okay, so I wouldn’t bet the house on it; but it’s a neat story, all the same.

I'd say yes, if I could find some eliable sources. But like I say, it's a delightful story.
