And thats the reason why I resigned. David Cameron's former spin doctor Andy Coulson was among seven people in court earlier charged in connection with the phone hacking scandal. Find professional Andy Coulson videos and stock footage available for license in film, television, advertising and corporate uses. Youre a state-school-educated Essex lad. And thats just not where I am. The key to it, I think, with therapy is you have got to find the right person. Thats the key; youve got to get the right therapist and not all therapists are right for all people. The judge hearing Coulson's trial was critical of the prime minister, pondering whether the intervention was out of ignorance or deliberate, and demanded an explanation. And one of the ways of doing that is making sure everyone is wearing the same clothes when they arrive. They take your clothes when you go to prison, which I think is sensible. I just wanted to see them. I wasnt concerned because obviously it wasnt true, so I wasnt troubled by that, but I knew that my family would have read it. Actually, the most common refrain was Its not like the House of Commons, is it Andy? Not that I was ever an MP. Coulson Brothers now has the largest capacity on the Muskoka lakes, with five barges capable of transporting any size or weight. The judge himself, I think, said right at the start, British justice is on trial and when you are the person in the dock, I think you know that if this goes wrong its going to go badly wrong. . But I accepted the system. What conversations did you have with your older boys? So, I knew at that point that Id be going to prison and that was obviously not where I thought my life would take me. Which it was. Andy: Well I think for most people, not all actually, but most people who go to prison it's the kind of beginning of the end because yes youre in a van, yes youre going to Belmarsh, but you know now you are on the road, actually, to the end. Jane: OK, and finally you asked this of all your guests, the three crisis cures, if you like, and you know the rules; it cant be a person. [2], Coulson started work at 18 as a junior reporter on the Basildon Echo in 1986. Jane: So, tell me, what was a typical day at Belmarsh? Jane: Does David Cameron get the silver medal? And as a result of that I met a large number of prisoners because I was helping them put their CVs together. I have to say, everyone through that process, the prison officers down in the cells at the Old Bailey, could not have been, frankly, more friendly. Andy: Its a wretched moment and you know immediately really that youre going to be going to prison. Mar 2016 - Oct 20182 years 8 months. But Ive never done it in any detail other than, of course, over a very long period in a witness box in the Old Bailey. I cant say I succeeded in that regard, but that was certainly the instinctive approach that I took to it. The saddest thing in prison is when youre queuing up for the phone, because thats how the system works, you have to wait to be able to use the phone. That must have felt weird, being the focus of the media storm? In an interview with the Press Gazette in 2005, he said that "Tabloid newspapers in this country do more for its people than any other newspapers in the world". The work ethic amongst us all is very clear. Do you sort of feel, oddly, that all that crisis brought you closer together? [20], He became deputy editor of the News of the World, the Sunday sister paper of The Sun, in 2000. And then youre off and youre into the admission process which, again, is not especially pleasant, I have to say. And I just thought to myself, how the hell did I end up here? Andy Coulson is the former spokesman for No 10 who reached the highest levels of his profession - before coming crashing down as a result of the phone-hacking scandal. [36] Kate Robertson of One Young World told the Guardian "He can't do One Young World work at the moment, that is absolutely clear". So ask me what my biggest regret is, I would absolutely say it was the decision that I took to have my two oldest sons, not Finn, come and visit me in Belmarsh, because it was only a couple of weeks after that visit that I got moved. And that just didnt happen. I wont ever be at peace with it, I suspect in one sense, because it hurts. Coulson edited one of. In 2005 at the age of 16, Patrick Collison was the recipient of the 41 st Young Scientist of the Year for his work with Lisp. [4][5] The overall impact from his tenure came to be known as the "Coulson effect". Andy Coulson is Former Editor of News of the World, Former Director of Communications, Downing Street, and an expert speaker on communications, crisis management and reputation. Jane: You are just talking there about your absolute love of that job at Downing Street. There were a lot of agendas being played. Andy: Yeah, I dont wear it like a badge but I dont hide it because its true and theres nothing I can do about it now. Andy: No, no, I had a bit of sarcasm, quite understandably really, a bit of joshing. A thoroughly depressing experience, with barbed wire around you and over you, actually, to stop helicopters coming in. And I could equally say, why on Earth did you do that, Andy? Andy Coulson (Andrew Edward Coulson) was born on 21 January, 1968, is a Journalist, newspaper editor. What did crisis teach you about friendship? And I managed to get down just in time and before you know it youre off driving through the city and I just remember looking at the bright blue sky really. I was an editor of the News of the World for four years. Thats how I sort of see it really and thats how I see life. The judge added that it was for him, and not the jury, to decide on this aspect of the case and that the Crown's legal submissions had failed to satisfy him that Coulson's evidence had been sufficiently relevant to the Sheridan trial. [51] He was questioned under caution, and later that day released on police bail until October, but made no comment on his release. I wanted them to visit me in an open prison. Andy: In the jobs that I did I never really wanted any profile. Jane: You dont really talk about yourself very much. Andy: Yeah, my view was that they had absolutely every right to be at the end of my drive and they had every right to try and get a picture of me and I had every right to avoid it. Certainly, when you find yourself in crisis and thats also, more importantly, just not how I see it. [21], Coulson resigned on 26 January 2007 over the News of the World phone hacking affair which would several weeks later see the jailing for four months of the paper's Royal correspondent Clive Goodman. Never mind my resilience and my crisis, the truth of the matter is it was as much a crisis for them and for Ellie as it was for me. David Cameron appointed Coulson as communications director in 2007. I think it was wrong. I had plenty of offers and I just didnt. [42] Coulson has denied these latest claims. And so invariably youre stood behind another prisoner as he makes his call and the amount of times that that prisoner would then turn away from the phone with tears streaming down his face was frequent. Was there ever a point through all of this, the trial or prison or any of it, that you cried? Trusted, high impact counsel, campaigns and crisis management for leaders, from Andy Coulson, Jon Steafel, Susan Adams and team. Andy: Yeah, I have occasional grey days. Coulson was name-checked by Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) in an episode of This Time with Alan Partridge (Series 02, Episode 02) during an introduction to a segment about law and order. (listen here). Were going to put you to work. I think, as you say, if she had decided enough was enough I dont think there is anyone who would have blamed her for it. Andy: No, I prefer not to, really. My mum, who has had a lot of difficulty in her life, is an amazing woman and shes incredibly resilient. Jane: So you just sort of top up when you need it? The main thing for me is that bitterness bullet, youve just got to keep dodging it, because bitterness really does send you only one way, it will only ever send you backwards. As a result we spent inordinate amounts of time just sat behind a door. And then I was told its 18 months and before you know it, youre through that green door and youre handcuffed and youre taken down to the cells. Id start with that, I think. And I totally accept that and I am very sorry for it. Is that why you resigned? His pay was 140,000, the highest paid special advisor. Jane: I mean, two of those jobs there that you mentioned, the powerful jobs, obviously they do bring their own sort of sets of criticism with them. But as I said in court, I made a lorry load of mistakes as an editor. Entirely self-inflicted, entirely my fault. Andy Coulson, the former Downing Street Communications Director and News of the World editor, has given his first detailed interview about the scandal that ended, in 2014, with a spell in HMP. I was all over it. And thats absolutely not how I feel. I dont know how long you can give it but I want you to stay and be in Downing Street with me, which was, I have to say, enormously flattering. Andys been upfront about that aspect of his CV during this podcast series and, indeed, has talked openly with his former prison mate, the England cricketer Chris Lewis, but hes never discussed his own crisis in any depth, until now. Coulson married his wife, Eloise, in 2000. And keep the smile on my face and move myself and my family forward every day, which is exactly what we do, its exactly our attitude. Weve made a lot of cups of tea for journalists standing on the end of our drive over the years, quite happily. Jane: So, youve known the power and privilege of being a newspaper editor and advisor to David Cameron. What was the apex of your crisis, do you think? I think there are probably people who think that I should still be in prison. I think it probably did. His brother and co-founder John Collison scored the highest-ever score received by a student for the Irish Leaving Certificate. [60][61], Coulson was to face a retrial, together with the News of the World's former royal editor Clive Goodman, after the jury failed to agree a verdict on two other charges of conspiring to cause misconduct in public office in relation to the alleged purchase of confidential royal phone directories in 2005 from a palace police officer. He added that the case against him had been a "waste of money". There have been the odd conversations. Coulson Partners offer strategic advice that moves the dial.
