I'm guessing from the conversation they must be "the court says you can't discuss me and the naughty things I did (allegedly)." Oh please give me a break. But, yes, I'm with the commenter who said they do want to know about some of it because they would so like to know who screwed them out of their hard-earned money!femminismohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259380168965137800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-32331958977155732102011-05-22T13:51:38.812+02:002011-05-22T13:51:38.812+02:00Laura: the fact that super injunctions make the ne...Laura: the fact that super injunctions make the ne'erdowells looks even shabbier almost makes them worthwhile having in my book.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-32827091628595281172011-05-22T13:31:00.665+02:002011-05-22T13:31:00.665+02:00In light of Freddie Goodwin's downfall this we...In light of Freddie Goodwin's downfall this week (slayer of Royal Bank of Scotland), super injunctions are remarkably ineffective as well, promoting such hyper-speculation that the truth will out eventually when certain individuals can no longer stand the pressure. And of course when it does come out, the rich b***ard who tried to silence everyone (doubtless using bank funds to do it) looks even worse than if he'd just fessed up to the affair that that his mind wasn't on his real job in the first place.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-88989774280649131092011-05-22T08:40:35.879+02:002011-05-22T08:40:35.879+02:00Phil: injunks = ASBOs.

I heard on the news tonight that a footballer "outed" on Twitter by an mysterious Tweeter as having had an affair and then bought himself a super injunction to cover it up is demanding Twitter hands over info as to the mysterious Tweeter's identity. Now, I saw those Tweets when they first came out and didn't give them much credence. Now, of course, this stupid footballer has all but proven them as true. I know the identity of the footballer, by the way, but dare not name him here in case I'm in contempt of a super injunk. Which, of course, I am.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-55897625412471411982011-05-21T23:09:33.492+02:002011-05-21T23:09:33.492+02:00Well said Steve.
