Good now I have your attention, what a fun few weeks we all had. The buzz across Twitter was electric with revelations and accusations coming thick and fast!
So I was thinking about it all and wondering what has changed? The News of the World (NOTW) may have gone but in the grand scheme of tabloid Britain what has changed?
I am going to go with not much as my line. The problem being to affect change there has to be a willing consensus to do so, if you do the math then there isn't one!
Did the people who bought the NOTW undergo a 'road to Damascus' moment, I doubt this very much! You see the only people truly outraged by all the Hackgate revelations never bought the NOTW or read its sister The Sun so really how will all this affect change.
Tabloid Britain is a place where people are outraged far too often and affected very little. Tabloid Britain is a place where people mutter injustice and do very little for the community. Tabloid Britain is predominantly the people we all pretend not to be when we huff and tutt at 'da yoots'.
Most telling of all Tabloid Britain was only napping, Football season starts this week and nothing but nothing gets in the way of salacious footballers! And nothing will deter the 'Righteous' Tabloids that are left when a sniff of scandal breaks in the coming 9 months!
So does Hackgate change anything? No I think not because creatures of habit we all are and scandal is a hard habit to break!
