BBC injunction lifted (link)

I have to say, I did not think that the injunction could withstand the blogger power which did not bow down to the pressure being applied to the mainstream media. The Guardian has got back some of its credibility as the guardian of free speech which has in the past wilted somewhat on exposing abuses of prisoners, and its not so Comment Is Free anymore. A combined effort by bloggers and the mainstream media finally opened the can of worms the government attempted to bury.

Why don't we go the whole hog? Anyone fancy a revolution? On second thoughts, I am sure that John Reid already has a law and plans to deal with two or more people getting together for a social occasion...

For once the Gov. were unable to keep a cap on an issue. Good.

Yes, I think it's a bit like a fizzy bottle of pop. Shake it about a bit and the lid blows off.

Didn't John Prescott have the same trouble with his zip fly a while back? *ho ho!*
