Curious

A strange oddity from the House of Commons yesterday:
John Hemming (Birmingham, Yardley) (LD): In a secret hearing, Fred Goodwin has obtained a super-injunction preventing him from being identified as a banker. Will the Government hold a debate, or make a statement, on freedom of speech, and whether there is one law for the rich, such as Fred Goodwin, and another for the poor ...
Is being described as a banker so offensive? Or is there something else involved? I doubt if we'll ever know ...

I hope this comment is legal but the Sun has been banging on about some sort of sexual shenannigans by someone in the financial world.

These super injunctions are an absolute disgrace and it is to be hoped either the courts or Parliament does soemthing about them. Secret justice is way down the slippery slope.
