The Guardian Is Still Gagged - But The Blogs Won
Advertisements [?]
Carter Ruck has stood down. The Guardian will be able to report on questions in Parliament laid by Paul Farrelly, largely because blogs broke the super injunction.

The Guardian is however still under an injunction.

The Guardian is still forbidden by the terms of the existing injunction, granted by a vacation duty judge, Mr Justice Maddison,
to give further information about the Minton report, or its contents.


It is a good thing Wikileaks exists.

Otherwise, the words Trafigura, Minton Report and Carter Ruck could never be mentioned in a sentence.

And sod the Guardian crediting Twitter. Give credit where it is due, if it had not been for bloggers, in particular the Libertarian blogger Guido Fawkes breaking the injunction, (ironically defending Parliament), there would have been nothing to tweet about.
