Video: Paul Dacre and Kelvin MacKenzie address the Leveson Inquiry

By Dominic wireposts

The full video from the second Leveson Inquiry seminar held in London on 12 October has now gone online.

The two highlights are session one, where Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre gave his rousing defence of the freedom of the popular press (he starts about 17 minutes in).

And former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie, with his tirade against political arse-kissing, the inadequacies of Lord Justice Leveson himself and much else besides. MacKenzie’s speech starts 25 minutes in to session four.
