"I am Spartacus"

[fpb]

Right. This is a bit late, now that Wikipedia is in on the act, but I still want to do it:

Ryan Giggs, the Manchester United football star, committed adultery with Imogen Thomas and then tried to forbid anyone from hearing about it by the use of a "super-injunction" - one of the corrupt British judiciary's worst outrages against freedom of speech. Now sue me, you spoilt, overindulged, cowardly little bully.

I know I'll get a sensible answer from you. I have not from anyone else I've asked about this.

Why do you think we have a right to know about this? The public being interested s not the sam as being in the public interest. Do you think there is any right to privacy? You may be quite accurate in your description of Giggs, but he is not the only person who would have felt pain had this been plastered over the front pages of the papers.

The press wax lyrical over freedom of the press and the fact that only the rich and famous can get super-injunctions. Their outrage is not about freedom of the press it is about MONEY, and to be blunt only the rich and famous need super-injunctions because the press don't write about the the foibles of anyone else.

I have little sympathy for Giggs, but I do for his family and his kids and lets face it, its takes two to tango and there is something offensive out of Miss Stubbs using her 'indiscretion' to try to make money.
