Let's have a thread about the gagging order on reporting parliament because everyone else has one and we wouldn't want to be thought of as shirking our internet responsibilities.

Paxman's got to pay

The Newsnight action is mentioned here.

I think that generating a big Twitter/internet furore was exactly what the Guardian was attempting in the first place, and that's probably the BBC covering it's arse by covering the coverage rather than the toxic waste story itself.

from that bbc article: "ever since the Spycatcher case in the 1980s news organisations which knowingly breach an injunction served on others are in contempt of court, so the corporation too felt bound by the Guardian injunction."

so carter-ruck only needed one injunction to shut everyone up!
