Actually I blame the judiciary and the last government for allowing it to happen on their watch.

What, exactly? The use of "super-injunctions", or invasion of privacy by the press?

Well it doesn't have to be an "either/or" situation, does it? :dozey:

Surely the laywers could write a law that prohibited the exposure of personal details of individuals, unless this was in the public interest.

I still maintain that Great British Red-top Journalists led us down this path. Shame on them, and all who pay their salaries.
