Common sense finally prevails

It's good to see that this country has finally come to its senses and realised how futile it is to prevent our media from reporting what we all already know. It's about time the people who make the law in the UK begin to understand that we live in the Internet age and that the laws of yesteryear no longer apply and cannot work.
I'll repeat what I have said before... If you don't want people to find out, don't do it. Simple. If you believe what is being said about you is wrong, then sue for libel. This applies to you Ryan Giggs and all the others out there with more money than sense who are under the misguided assumption that they can stifle free speech or impose their will on the millions of Internet users that make up the free Cyberspace we know and cherish.
Let's start getting down to basics - what's right and what's wrong...

Injunction madness

I cannot let today pass without adding my comments to the many thousands circulating the Internet regarding the utter madness that is the latest injunction to prevent freedom of speech in the UK.
I simply cannot believe anyone let alone Ryan Giggs can think that preventing Internet users to speak freely can possibly keep a lid on his antics. As I've said before, if you don't want people to know about it or if you're ashamed of it that much - don't do it in the first place. Simple. Now, I don't for one second believe this person is stupid - they can kick a ball around after all - but gagging the Internet...? Think again.
For anyone who thinks the UK is a country of freedom and liberty - they are wrong, very wrong. This latest round of injunctions just goes to prove that censorship is alive and well and if you have lots of money, then you have the power to censor the press and the media at large. If you don't have money - tough.
The only 'freedom' we have is in Cyberspace. Take this away and we might as well be living in China or North Korea. I am pretty angry about this whole matter, as you can tell. I am ashamed of this country and its ridiculous legal system and draconian laws. It's about time the people running this country woke up...

Lynda Bellingham

I was shocked to hear of the passing of Lynda Bellingham on Sunday. I had known she was terminally ill, but I really thought, as did man...
