"The Prime Minister has already signalled he is minded to accept the report if it is not "heavy-handed" or "bonkers" but he is being squeezed on all sides. " I doubt Leveson would draft something bonkers, given his intellectual capacity. And the word 'heavy handed'; well without knowing what the PM means, it can mean anything it wants to once the report is produced.
Now just read this "
Some of his Cabinet members, including Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, and Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, are openly against state regulation, while the Liberal Democrats and Maria Miller, the Culture Secretary, are pushing for a "tougher" option to keep the press in check. "
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS want to keep the press in check! LIBERAL!!
So the word LIBERAL no longer means Liberal in the old sense. The word liberal now means to "reduce someone's freedom". It used to be to "increase someone's freedom".
THIS IS DOUBLESPEAK.
Like good old Pontius Pilate "

Sources said the Prime Minister is now considering a free vote in the House of Commons allowing MPs to follow their conscience over the issue. The Government could see itself defeated if the Liberal Democrats team up with Labour to push for tough regulation. "
So the church has to 'get with the programme'; where as the House of Commons is being allowed to 'follow their conscience'
The art of politics is to use a reasoning for the outcome you are looking for.
It seems to me the original aims of the Leveson enquiry have all but disappeared.
In a world whereby we rely on one's conscience to curb one's behaviour, as well as laws to put absolute parameters on such behaviour, such a system works if the individual and collective conscience somehow (not knowing how) keeps to such curbs. But when the collective and individual conscience decays, the weakness of the law shows itself.
If our laws become equal to our own conscience we are living in a terrible world.
