Footballers super-injunction

[Shaggy]

The question was from Rob Harris from AP. As far as I know it was Sky who picked up on his comments and reported them initially.

Just got an sms from my bother, he is a bit dim, he was one of the masked thugs. He thought they were going to get Giggs.

[Lecter]

2 things, Giggs wife is gorgeous & I actually think ferguson trying to ban that reporter was fine.

Apparently Fergie cant ban him from the Friday press conference

Thats a UEFA sanctioned PC and only they can bar people from them (apparently)

[dom9]

Masked men attack photographers outside Ryan Gigg's home

Published 20:26 24/05/11 By MirrorFootball

Cars were vandalised today in a suspected attack targeting photographers outside the home of Ryan Giggs.

A group of masked men damaged the body work, slashed tyres and egged the vehicles parked near the footballer's mansion in Worsley, Greater Manchester.

Press attention on Giggs, 37, intensified yesterday when he was named in Parliament as the married footballer involved in a controversial privacy case.

Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming used parliamentary privilege to name him as the Premier League player who took out an injunction over his alleged relationship with 28-year-old reality TV star Imogen Thomas.

Since then a number of paparazzi photographers have been camped outside Giggs' home, which he shares with wife, Stacey, and their two children.

Six cars were targeted shortly after 3.20pm in Worsley, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Several men wearing balaclavas burst out of a Ford Transit van and attacked the vehicles before fleeing the scene.

A police spokesman said officers attended and inquiries are continuing.

Anyone who witnessed the incident should call GMP on 0161 872 5050.

Wow



He looks sheepish.

[Neil Young]

Just to get back for a moment to the boring fundamental issues at stake here, the media's focus on injunctions (super or not) and freedom of the press at the expense of celebrities is a useful diversion from the widespread use of phone hacking by the NOTW and other national newspapers.

It also serves to muddy the waters as it conflates the two issues, one where the media is seen on the side of the public (freedom!) and the other where the journalists and editors have broken the law and there seem to have been attempts by directors to cover up the facts.

All for the sake of what exactly?

By the way, why did Rebekah Brooks (formerly Wade) decide to divorce ex-husband Ross Kemp? Funny how that all never made the papers.

Freedom of speech, oh sure.

Surely someone must have got a photo of the van - number plate and all?

[Neil Young]

If only someone there had had a camera...
