Phone hacking allegations

Will you be boycotting the News of the World over the alleged hacking of Millie Dowler's phone? And is it better to go bigger with engagement rings?

At 1- Will you be boycotting the News of the World over the alleged hacking of Millie Dowler's phone?

Its very rare that journalists are shocked by the behaviour of other hacks, but the claims that an investigator working for reporters at the News of the World hacked the phone of the murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowler, did just that.

The police are now investigating the case but how do you feel about the paper and the press in general? It's the biggest selling sunday title in Britain but people such as Lily Allen have come out and said she would boycott all titles owned by Rupert Murdoch, is that something you would do?

Or do you think that its naive to think this sort of thing doesn't go on? If you want to read all the details in your paper are you surprised that journalists break the rules to deliver it? Would a boycott of one paper hurt the biggest media organisation in the world? Are you genuinely angered by this? Messages on Millie's phone were allegedly deleted leading her family to believe she was still alive. Would you ever buy the paper again, even when the football season starts?

After 2- We'll be exploring how Asians deal with death. And- Is bigger better when it comes to engagement rings?
