Myler's away from prying eyes

Colin Myler, the News of the World editor, might not be into S&M - but his paper came out a little bruised from today's judgment in the Max Mosley trial. So, while yesterday the paper vowed defiance and Monkey was led to believe Myler would take questions on the steps of the court, this morning's performance was a little more sober. Instead, Myler simply read a prepared statement - purely for the benefit of the TV cameras since a written transcript was handed out and emailed to reporters immediately afterwards. After delivering the statement in a monotone, Myler ignored all questions - including whether he would resign - and walked back into the building. Monkey hears a News of the World car was waiting by the back door to whisk him away to Fortress Wapping. Perhaps he was worried the press might invade his privacy.
