Wapping execs show they are on the ball

By Axegrinder axeblog

Wapping was a few executives short of a full boardroom this week, according to my spies at News International.

As Axegrinder sharpened his nib, a host of Liverpool fans were planning to make the pilgrimage to Athens to watch their team in the Champions League final.

Among those lined up for the charabanc to Athens were NI chairman Les Hinton, News of the World editor Colin Myler, The Sun’s Bizarre editor Victoria Newton and a handful of others lower down the food chain.

“I think there were a few execs who realised they’d missed out on a great brown-nosing opportunity by not going,” whispers my stay-at- home nark despondently.
