I can't believe in this day and age, a journalist is trying to get away with what Dan Evans has said about his actions in the phone hacking debacle. His excuse is that while he made a legitimate phone call, the buttons on his phone stuck and he accidentally accessed the voicemail account of the person he was calling.
For someone who earns their living from creative writing, this is, apart from anything else, just plain lazy. Surely he could have come up with something better, like "while I was making a legitimate call, my budgie flew over and pecked random numbers on my phone's keypad". While still incredible, this would at least have been so random that it could almost have been believed.
Oh, and by the way, if anyone did believe him, i've got a lovely tower for sale in Paris.
