You mean people actually invite back somebody who does this? I think the worst that ever happened in my own home from somebody getting too drunk, was the guy smashing into our Christmas tree and destroying the lights and ornaments. He was never invited back. OTOH, we hadn't known him well before then, but he provided every reason not to get to know him more. One does cut a whole lot more slack for close friends, and old friends.

Derfel Cadarn Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Rumour doing the rounds that Johnson has a super injunction out blocking the press from releasing a story that he got a Canadian hairdresser pregnant, and sent her back to Canada. What would surprise people is the revelation he has a hairdresser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maithanet Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 As an American I find this entire concept of a govt injuction against publishing a story to be confusing. What is this power? How is it anything but a terrible idea? The idea of not being allowed to publish a story about government corruption or malfeasance seems very problematic. This isn't like some reporter sniffing around Bletchley Park in 1940 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe, though as I’m thankfully not a lawyer I can’t guarantee it, that the government can take out an injunction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A wilding Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 They are indeed a terrible idea, one of ways that the wealthy try to prevent us from hearing about things they don't want to to know. An example of how the UK is drifting toward plutocracy. Fortunately the internet makes them less effective than they might otherwise be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
