As Leveson LJ has made his report on the press standards in the UK I thought it might be interesting to see what we here think of the phone hacking scandal of 2011, News International, Rupert Murdoch and the freedom of the press versus the pribvacy of individuals - ordinary people, celebrities, Royals and politicians too. Poasted below are links to the Leveson Inquiry Report, published today.

What do our journalists here make of Leveson LJ's report?

Is press freedom in danger - considering that if it wasn't for the press we would have no real idea of all the strange and illegal going-ons that are out there.

The Tory backbenchers are against the annulling in any way of press freedom and I have to say that I agree with them. The Lib Dems seem to want more press regulation.

Where do you stand, and why?
