The Times cartoon depicting starving Somalis with one of them saying, 'I've had a bellyful of phone-hacking...' is the most despicable, cynical attempt by News International to divert attention from what is rapidly developing into the fall of a media empire.
The cartoonist, Peter Brookes, ought to be ashamed of himself for even putting the thought to paper, let alone submitting it for publication. And what kind of contemptible low life of an editor thought this was remotely appropriate or funny.
The only good this has served is to illustrate quite graphically that The Times and The News of the World are indeed of the same blood.
The Dirty Digger continues to dig his own grave.
Footnote. I think it is worth saying that the sentiment of this cartoon may have been validated if it had been in anything other than a News International publication.
