Really I don't know why he is bothering
You would think he would have better things to do
And spend more time with his family
Not bump the bank accounts of lawyers

Getting bored now
In my opinion
Getting bored now
Getting bored now
So CTB....still wondering who you are!!!

Crime is the main reason I'm so interested in this subject. I remember a few years ago a particular scratter tabloid telling us to buy next weeks copy. They were going to give us the low down on a particular alleged criminal. Next week? Nothing! Maybe the journalist ended up in some concrete constuction. I want investigative journalism. I want to know who is responsible for financialcrime, trafficking drugs, prostitutes, children, or whatever they do nowadays. I don't care about footballers and escort girls, or the faux freedom of information argument. it is shitty, lazy, safe, journalism designed to titillate the brain dead.

There is a down side for these high profile celebrities........

 

Now there is no cash reward from the red top tabloids for the kiss 'n' tell stories for the wannabee Z list the women may not be so willing to succumb to their charms.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'd be more than happy for the gutter press and the 'kiss and tellers'  to lose out and for us got back to some sense of privacy and trust, for all concerned in these situations 

I don't want to know about these people's private lives, but I do worry that the freedom of expression will be affected if we let the courts rule. It needs some sort of middle ground which is acceptible to both sides. Btw., I don't think the footballer really deserves his privacy. He is supposed to be a role model, well known for being a good family man. He's none of that and IMO has therefore forfeited his rights.

I disagree! If anything Giggs, and Scholes for that matter, are known for rarely being in the news except for football reasons.

They are now....and what does rarely mean?, only once or twice?......and do we pat them on the back for that?

the average person may not be concerned with twitter knowing what mucky doings  he's been up to, but most average people   would have the same desire to protect themselves and  those close to to them

 

So if you've shagged your best friends mum and 'er next door saw you and is  bound to blab,  it'd  be nice to geta super injunction to ensure she kept her trap shut, eh?

So you check your back pocket and come up  with a  scrumpled fiver and  a furry bit of chewing gum, its just not gonna cut it , is it?

That's really what I mean GJ. My jaw dropped when I heard who it was and I would feel the same if I heard this about Scholes. If I was a youngster and a fan, I'd feel a bit let down.

Silly guys..,,you're out there!

And serve them bliddy well right, same as us plebs would have to face up to our lesser but equally as important audience.............

Mine didn't...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up will be a revelation of Sh*tarito having a lesbian affair with Lindsay Lohan

Pahhh!

Ah, I see that's kinda my point....you'll never stop gossip and tittle tattle, that's one thing, having it all over the press and going 'world-wide' is another, (isn't it assumed that it was a journalist who put it on twitter?) Oh and if yer best friend's mum fancied a few thousand quid from the press and a spot on This Morning I'm guessing they wouldn't be much interested?

It should be left to the House of Commons to decide on these "Injunctions" Only if they pose a threat to national security should they be allowed, not to the dick happy megabucks tossers who seem to think they are above everyone else.

OFGS.....It was an affair!!!!!!!

 

What the bleeding (language Timothy!) hell has that got to do with the Government?????????????

What makes me mad is that this story has taken over from the other main stuff still on-going today, ie- Japan and Libya. Mountains out of molehills IMO .

It is up to the Judges to grant these injunctions as we stand. Money folk who can afford it get it, poorer folk can't. This stinks of a 2 tier system IMO.

Exactly......Don't know about Japan and Lybya, but the Potholes in this Country need looking into,....... Diversion tictacs methinks.

Potholes yes- Maybe the Govt will have some spare money now the troops have pulled out of Iraq.

No they wouldn't, lol.

 

My point was that in a democratic society some are able to pay to be protected by the law,if they have deep enough pockets.

 

It's wrong.

Democratic society? Pah! Shirley you mean Market economy! It's all geared towards academic success or skills which are sold in the Market. Thus certain people are able to purchase bigger cars, houses, and tasteless and vulgar shieght in general. The same applies to the law. Individuals can buy law. Added to this I understand the Tories were going to start messing with legal aid, if they haven't done so yet. We have a family saying where we point at an imaginary chart saying. "you are here! But it's mainly visual and doesn't work on a thread like this!

I find it amazing that in this day & age that people can be banned & placed in jail for freedom of speech... dont want your indescretions to be made public? dont shag around.......knob

Blimey! It was Ryan Giggs! I didn't see that coming! I had Kevin Davis in a double with Johnny Depp.

giggs named in the house of commons this afternoon

 

rumour mill is saying gareth barry of manchester city is the other player who recently took out an injunction to stop details of an affair being made public

Still hope Giles Coren gets jail.

 

Just because.

Whose Giles Coren?

Anyway, the law has been made to look like the ass it can be. Publish and be damned comes to mind.

"Gilou" Coren plays in goal for Tottenham Hotspurs.

 

Erin, that's brilliant.

Found it on another forum ,its was to good to ignore.

Super Injunctions and Contempt of Court

On 13 May 2011 Coren attracted more controversy joking about a Super Injunction by posting on his Twitter feed: "god, ANOTHER injunction tonight. another footballer. and SUCH a boring one. F***ing shit midfielder... he's yet another very ugly married man who's been carrying on with a gold-digging flopsie he should have seen coming a MILE away...". Then on 14 May he tweeted "Gareth Barry looks remarkably relaxed when you consider that... first touch for gareth barry... not according to what i've heard... time for a bet. what chance Barry to score? tiny fiver on barry to score at 22-1. wdv been nice to get a double with giggs in the match before.. Barry's been pulled off...". This was later deleted but was archived.^[30]

Various UK papers reported on 22 May 2011 that a journalist could be jailed over Twitter comments about injunctions and its referral to the Attorney General Dominic Grieve.^[31][32] Later on Twitter Coren acknowledged he could face jail.^[33] Coren was named as the journalist facing prosecution in the House of Commons by John Hemming on 23 May 2011

Funny I always thought Ryan Giggs was a bit of allright, but when I look at him now, he is pretty yuk

Thanks.

 

It's the hair!

@ VEGGIE

 

I wish somebody would give all of them a smack and remind them what they are supposed to be doing. Jeewizz. I'm sick of those self important people. I know some people in this country perpetuate this carp by buying the magazines and papers, but please, enought already.

Shambles
