In other words, who you gonna blame, the hard-working criminal or the lazy beat cop who couldn't be bothered to enforce the laws? Which we happened to break?
Put me in Rebekah's dress, slap me pink and chase me out of town, but I'd have to agree with that editorial. Not because the hacking is innocent, far from it, but because the rot goes all the way to the Met's and the Yard's top. And beyond, if we are to believe some comments. Certain politicians belong in that dock as well.
