Leveson Inquiry meets Twitter meme
The proceedings in the Leveson Inquiry into press standard and Murdoch staff’s alleged phone hacking being held in Court 73 make compelling reading, but the internet wags of Twitter have created a meme that’s almost as riveting: #popleveson
A snapshot of the conversation on Storify:
Leveson inquiry meets pop lyrics in hilarious Twitter meme #popleveson
Twitter wags use artists’ own lyrics to interrogate them in the style of presiding judge Lord Justice Leveson, who is leading the inquiry into press standards and the phone hacking scandal. And thus a meme is born.

Marvellous Twitter Wit. Ha Ha
LOVE this!! – thank you for sharing.
Bearing in mind the impecunious state of your finances, Mr Simon, I wonder if you could advise us how you funded your visits to the whores on 7th avenue?
You claim that you only knew the defendant by his screen-name a.k.a “Big Spender” and knew nothing of his true identity? If that was the case Ms Bassey, how was it The Daily Mail photographer was able to take these photos of you leaving The Ritz together?
