Uh, how did Jim Morrison supposedly help this guy?

Are we supposed to just allow this guy to use Jim like that?

Why would this guy even be investigating the News International?

Is this what the film The International was based upon?

Wow, this guy is an MP - an elected member of Parliament! Pretty cool. Obsessive, but cool. I wonder how his constituents feel about his far-flung intellectual pursuits? One would guess they probably wish he'd just tend to local matters, like getting pot holes in the street fixed, or helping the unemployed.

I wonder if this bit of the article is accurate? I'm not recalling an incident of Jim getting his teeth smashed:
[Watson] attended a shareholders meeting of Murdoch’s News Corp in Los Angeles and, after raising questions there about the phone hacking scandal, he set off to commune with Morrison at the Townhouse bar in Santa Monica, in whose basement sits a live venue where Morrison once tripped and smashed his front teeth.
