Bish bus bosh: Was Sun attack revenge?

By Axegrinder axeblog

My mobile phone buzzes and it’s someone from Wapping to tell me that the front windscreen of The Sun’s red double-decker bus has apparently been smashed. Given that it’s parked well within the perimeter of News International HQ, whoever did it must have been staff or a signed-in visitor.

Could it perhaps be revenge for Rebekah Wade‘s email bollocking over the missed Pete Doherty scoop, which was leaked to Axegrinder?

Or does this suggest that security at Wapping isn’t what it should be? I leave it to you to make your choice, but I am happy to say that the windscreen was quickly replaced.
