Didnt Andy Coulson once work as an adviser to Cameron ?, and wasnt there a lot of fuss about Cameron sending and recieving Emails off Rebecca Brooks ?,
If that is the case maybe friends in high places could come in very handy for them.

the rich allways get away from justice
Hi shipmates, people in high places are above the law, in the U.K. if you get caught with hand in the Till or doing naughty stuff, you will not be gulity due to your "friends" they are countless examples of this happening today that is what they call the rules of power, one for all us!!! and the one for them. Old saying money is good but good powerful friends are better. or when the Sh-- hits the fan make sure none lands on you.
