let the baseless speculation begin!



LINK


quote:

An England footballer has obtained a super-injunction to prevent the media revealing details of his private life.
He obtained the legal order on Friday night after discovering that a Sunday newspaper was planning to publish an exposé.
The star is the latest in a string of high-profile figures using draconian privacy laws to block the media from reporting on matters they would rather keep secret.


However curiously it states

quote:

The existence of the latest super-injunction - so called because the media are not even allowed to report details of their existence - is in the public domain now only because a newspaper on which it was not served published a report about it.


Not that super then.

lol I have no idea.

It will come out sooner or later. The internet will see to that. Some journos at one of the big sunday papers know all about it.

On an aside, these super injunctions really are a horrific insult to liberty. I'm not that bothered which member of the England team is shagging some hotty behind his wife's back, but the first super injunction was used to prevent the publication of a story about a company who dumped hundreds of tonnes of toxic waste off the coast of Africa, it was so toxic people down wind of it got burns.

Anyway, now that rant is over, I'm going to guess, Gerrard, the rumours have been out there for months. If not him, maybe an outside shot on someone quiet like Lennon? Hmmm.

I can't believe they can just block news like that from getting out. Maybe they should work that hard at not fricking their teammates x-wives or hookers instead of messing with the free press
