Questions are now being raised that I am determined to pursue to the very end. What was the role of the Metropolitan Police in kicking the original inquiry into the long grass? Just how extensive is the hacking?
From personal experience I know how shallow are the Murdoch empire's protestations. I was staring at the evidence showing my phone was hacked at the very moment when News International was denying it.
This whole affair should be the beginning of the most penetrating inquiry into the baleful influence Rupert Murdoch's corporation has had on our national life.
Readers will not need reminding that central to his ability to do so was the smashing of the print unions at Wapping 25 years ago.
It's a lesson that's relevant today. Strong trade unions are not only the best way to lift up wages and conditions. They also provide a counterweight to vested corporate interests. They are a vital part of a truly democratic society.
Far from being embarrassed about the unions, that's something that the Labour leadership ought to be saying loud and clear.
In any case, as Murdoch's minions are one by one sucked into the storm, I for one intend to ensure that no stone is left unturned in discovering exactly how they have immorally and illegally operated for so long, and with the support of so many other rich and powerful interests.
