Looks like Rupie is sinking lower and lower (if that’s even possible), because he’s in deeper hot water than he has been (if that’s even possible).  The Guardian is reporting that there are around 600– count ‘em, 600!– new allegations of phone-hacking incidents at Rupert Murdoch’s defunct, defiled, and disgraced News of the World.

Detectives are examining an estimated 600 fresh allegations of phone-hacking incidents at Rupert Murdoch’s now closed News of the World on the back of fresh evidence obtained by the Metropolitan police from a suspect turned supergrass.

Further details are expected to emerge on Monday morning at the high court during a hearing relating to the existing litigation by hacking victims against Murdoch’s News International (NI) – hours before MPs are due to vote on joint Labour and Liberal Democrat amendments that would introduce a backstop law to stiffen regulation of the press.

Sources say Scotland Yard detectives believe they can identify as many as 600 new incidents after obtaining the phone records of an insider who is now being lined up as a crown witness.

Recently there was a slew of new arrests, and now this.

The revelations come at the worst possible time for David Cameron as he prepares to battle in parliament to protect the newspaper industry from what he fears is excessive state-backed regulation.

Is there a good time for Cameron? Or Rupert for that matter…
