Sir Paul McCartney, of forgotten ’70s beat group Wings, has for some peculiar reason, had his phone hacked by ‘so-called journalists’ and he’s gone grassing everyone up to the police. Including us. We got a letter informing us we’d be under investigation.
Even though we only have one PAYG mobile phone (the one with Snake II on), we do use it to get into people’s voicemails. We’ve got a great story about the not very famous comedian David Schneider, but that’s for another time.
Anyway, Macca is not pleased that we’ve been in his messages, very much in the same way his former wife, Heather Mills, was hopping mad (fnarr) that she’d had her voicemails hacked into and, of course, John Lennon’s chest was very much breached by Mark Chapman with his best gun.
Sir Paul says:
“I am going to talk to the police because apparently I have been hacked. I don't know much about it because they won't tell anyone except the person themselves.”
“I do think it's a horrendous violation of privacy. I do think it has been going on for a long time and I do think more people than we know knew about it.”
Of course, these incredibly famous people aren’t bothered about us. They only want to sue famous people. The Muccas are subsequently going after CNN suet head, Piers Morgan, who edited the Mirror from 1995 to 2004. He’s getting all this lovely stick, thereby allowing us to get off scot-free.
Naturally, Piers denies any involvement in phone hacking, despite the fact he once wrote:
‘At one stage I was played a tape of a message Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone. It was heartbreaking.’
‘The couple had clearly had a tiff, Heather had fled to India, and Paul was pleading with her to come back.
‘He sounded lonely, miserable and desperate, and even sang ‘We Can Work It Out ‘ into the answerphone.’
Aaaw! Bless Sir Paul. Although, he really should’ve crooned one of his more erratic hits. Any of these would have been great.
Still, funny how everyone is taking phone hacking seriously, given that everyone thought Heather Mills was mental for saying such a thing all those years ago.
You fickle ogres.
Meanwhile, Ringo wonders why no-one ever wants to hack his phone and has been seen handing out his phone number to strangers and telling them his pin-code for his voicemail.

Can’t stand McCartney (or his music) Hate his one-legged ex even more. Really liked Linda though. Paul was better when he was young (and more humble, too)
