A bit like Julie Andrews flashing her bangers in the movie S.O.B., seasoned Leveson-watchers were stunned on Wednesday afternoon when the cerebral judge dropped the F-bomb during his inquiry into phone hacking and media ethics (check out the #leveson timeline just before 3pm). In Lord Justice Leveson's defence, he was quoting from a Guardian article in which a Tory insider was reported as saying "I'm going to fucking get him this time", referring to former Scotland Yard counter-terrorism chief Bob Quick. Still, as BBC correspondent Ross Hawkins pointed out, good job the news channels weren't covering the inquiry live at that point.
