Married TV star wins 'worldwide' gagging order from judge
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8464639/Married-TV-star-wins-worldwide-gagging-order-from-judge.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8464639/Married-TV-star-wins-worldwide-gagging-order-from-judge.html)
So my understanding of this is that this chap ( high profile celeb married with kids) has been having it away with this woman. Things have now obviously gone Pete Tong and she is trying to sell her story and pictures...however the judge feels that she is breaching his confidence .
So he has issued this ban for eternity and to cover the whole wide world and the t'internet to stop her publishing her story ( it's a good job we value freedom of speech so highly in this country) because "breaching his privacy would damage the health of the man and his family" .
So he is not a footballer as recent similar cases have failed on such grounds rubschin:
What a complete farce noooo: noooo: noooo:

But what about his children .,....we must protect his children ::)

And how exactly does this Learned Judge intend to enforce a "World-Wide" gagging order?
Let us suppose that someone in North Korea knows who it is and posts it on the net. Does our learned friend actually expect that the North Korean Government are going to deliver up to him one of their nationals in order that he may impose sentence?
The whole thing is a farce. The facts are well known in the media and it will come out eventually. We just have to sit and wait. It will pop up on Wikileaks in time.
Meanwhile the order says nothing about a bit of speculation among friends.
Now remind me ~ does the UK have an extradition treaty with Northern Cyprus? whistle:

Mr Marr won a High Court injunction in January 2008 to suppress reports of a relationship with a fellow journalist five years earlier.
At the time, he believed he had fathered a child with the woman.
He also made maintenance payments – until he discovered through a DNA test that he was not the girl's father.
I note the woman is not named anywhere ....perhaps she is even more embarrassed rubschin:

Hands up all those who like guessing games. The kind of game that the whole family can play. Well, the hottest guessing game in town right now appears to be one called ‘who has taken out a super injunction’. Twitter is alive with rumours, gossip and guesses as to which premiership footballer, famous actor, British comedian, TV chef, TV presenter, TV actor and a few other celebrities have been doing things that they’d rather the public didn’t know about. Many of the newspapers are joining in the game too by giving out several cryptic clues as to the identities of the well-known, household name, celebrities involved.
So eyes down, look in! It’s time to play The Celebrity Super Injunction Rumour Quiz! The aim of the game is to try and match some random pictures of celebrities with a list of known super injunctions. All hypothetical of course, we’re just having a bit of fun aren’t we. After all, any answers that you might come up with here, that turn out to be accurate once the truth officially becomes known, would be pure coincidence. Right... Ok then, so off you go and see if you can also spot an odd one out ….
1. Which Manchester United footballer had an extramarital affair with
Big Brother star Imogen Thomas which lasted for 7 months.
2. Which British actor, whose wife drives a volvo, paid £195 for the personal services of Helen Wood which, she says, included the use of a sex toy … on him. Helen Wood is also the same high profile
prostitute who had a sex session with premiership footballer Wayne Rooney, which was reported widely in the tabloids.
3. Which TV chef is said to have sexually harassed one female
employee and then sacked a male employee for no reason. The man is alleging age
discrimination at an employment tribunal and also says that he is still owed wages.
4. Which outspoken TV presenter has taken out an injunction preventing publication
of naked intimate photographs of himself and his ex-wife and definitely not Jemima Khan?
5. Which two stars of a popular TV drama show, on Channel 4, had an extra marital affair. The woman involved is also said to have left the show, as a result, in around December 2010.
6. Which British comedian, actor, writer is said to have a keen interest in
BDSM and has made several visits to spanking and whipping establishments? Normally, he’s also very active on Twitter but has been rather silent of late and he was also a keen supporter of the #Yes2AV campaign.

I do like a good guessing game cloud9:
Might be a bit too tough this one though JOM ;)
You may have to dumb it down a bit lol:

So the footballer has been outed by an MP ::)
The injunction however still stands as reconfirmed by the courts this afternoon noooo:
But they can now openly discuss it in the news rubschin:

As was said yesterday by the judge involved and subsequently reported
He was doing what parliament had asked the courts to do when it passed the Human Rights Act: to weigh up privacy and freedom of expression as embodied in articles 8 and 10 of the HRA. As required by section 12 of the act (at the urging of the press itself), judges must pay special regard to the media's own codes of conduct.
Clearly the press want to have it both ways and the MP (Hemmings) was told by the Speaker that whilst his remarks were subject to "Parliamentary Privilege" he should not abuse that privilege for the purpose of sensationalism.
Many have cited similar injunctions (See Mary Bell, Jon Venables et al) where the press have respected them. Indeed their own code of conduct enshrines the right to an individual's privacy unless it is a matter of "public interest". I don't think knowing the identity and whereabouts of a child murder is less in the public's interest than which footballer or film 'star' is getting their jollies so can only conclude that the press believe that Mary Bell etc are entitled to protection from public outrage and possible reprisals whereas the errant footballers are in danger of only a lot of piss taking the next time they appear on the pitch.
Of course the learned judge is right to seek to protect the man's family .... imagine what his children will go through at school and what his wife will feel about the matter ..... but again does Mr Giggs (and others) actually deserve consideration? After all he knew that his wife would probably find out ~ most wives do know, even if they don't do anything about it, when their husbands are having an affair.
It is a difficult question indeed and one the PM has, rightly in my opinion, now sought to resolve by means of an inquiry into the law itself and the possibility of changing it.
Personally I couldn't give a fat rat's arse who is screwing who. I know of many in this village who "place the OMO packet in their window". Doesn't bother me and as the news spreads (as it will in a small community) it is a five minute wonder. Would the press be interested? Of course not ..... nobody famous is involved.
No, it's the children involved and the predictable effect on them that worries me.
-
Well hopefully the right honourable Mr Giggs will get his money back lol:
-
I don't give a feck to be honest and couldn't name most of the 'celebs' that seem so important to the sheeple... noooo:
However, what does annoy me is the principle that you can buy the law if you have the cash. That is bad and wrong and obviously not just happening in privacy cases...

Victory for common sense as muggle newspaper names He Who Must Not Be Named
In a move certain to have a major impact on the magical establishment, a muggle newspaper has today defied the power of wizard law and taken the dramatic step of naming He Who Must Not Be Named, the mysterious “Dark Lord”. Incredulous newsagent customers were transfixed this morning by the sight of the The Sunday Herald’s screaming headline “NAMED AT LAST!” accompanying a full front page picture of none other than Lord Voldemort, clearly recognisable despite his distinctive nose being blacked-out with the word “Censored”.
Voldemort, previously known as Tom Riddle, has been the subject of speculation ever since the media became aware that a famous practitioner of the Dark Arts (or “Welsh Football”) had taken out a so-called “super incantation” preventing his name ever being mentioned. Only the bravest or most foolhardy young wizards have dared speak his name, at great personal risk.

Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere
I was quite happy to remain blissfully unaware of who the footballer was. I doubt I was alone. The whole saga reminds me of the story of Socrates:
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.
One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"
Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter test."
'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.
That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say.
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness.
Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness.
Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"
The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife lol:
