My first thought was Liam Fox, there's a lot of smoke around that guy at pretty much all times, plus he was running the MoD, although that would be too public-interest for a superinjunction. Maybe Bercow-related?

Boris having an extramarital affair hardly constitutes a 'dynamite revelation' really.

Matt DC, Sunday, 2 June 2013 17:57 (ten years ago) link

whole thing feels a bit overplayed by the Mail hacks, wonder if there's some actual bad news they want burying

Dream scenario would be Clegg and someone but I understand they're both Tories.

splittin hairs there Matt

x-post

What, that they're all doing the cash for questions fiddle.

It has been said that they are middle-aged figures and that the affair has now concluded. It does not involve anyone serving in the cabinet.

Boris having an extramarital affair hardly constitutes a 'dynamite revelation' really.

Yeah, surely Boris having a dalliance is on the dog-bites-man end of the news spectrum?

This guy must not think anything of long prison sentences.

Nathan Barley?

I guess we just have to wait for tomorrow's French/Italian/American papers to be published

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:28 (ten years ago) link

they're not politicians but they're close to the pm

clue's in the link

prolego, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:41 (ten years ago) link

Going to spend the rest of my evening watching all that guy's youtube videos.

oppet, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:41 (ten years ago) link

(two pairs of initials in the html)

(this is the clue i'm seeing being floated around)

they're not politicians but i guess this posed a conflict of interest?

prolego, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:42 (ten years ago) link

OH SHIT.

Matt DC, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link

If it is them, is it really something that could 'bring down Cameron'?

oppet, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link

Alan Carr and Rebecca Black?!?!?!

emil.y, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link

AHAAAHAAAHAHAAH

Too late to never become the story, but still, if that's true....

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link

WHO WHO WHO?

waterprick (stevie), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link

I don't see how it could sink Cameron, it's not any worse than anything we already know about these people but fuck it's an unpleasant image.

Matt DC, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link

OH SHIT I JUST FIGURED IT OUT and really what would this have to do with Cameron?

waterprick (stevie), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link

[obv we can't really have this conversation here]

waterprick (stevie), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link

It just further confirms Cameron's lack of judgement in hiring him in the first place. There's also the irony of those associated with the news of the screws having a super injunction out on this. Other than that it's just a distraction.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:53 (ten years ago) link

Conflict of interest I can see, but yeah, not sure how it's more devastating than anything else?

xp

emil.y, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:53 (ten years ago) link

Oh, and here I was, thinking it was the marching powder at a particular wedding that was going to do for DC.

Old story, entirely unrelated

Matt DC, Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:55 (ten years ago) link

TBF these tories are rather vanilla in their sleaziness compared to the early 90s lot.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:56 (ten years ago) link

okay the furore is making more sense

waterprick (stevie), Sunday, 2 June 2013 18:57 (ten years ago) link

I have a lazy "tap that" gag ready to go, someone let me know when it's safe to do so

If we said that a certain soap actor cum fake tv hardman had been cuckolded we'd be about right, yes?

I like it.

Despite clean-shavenness, always suspected SACTVH had the benefit of a sumptuous ginger beard.

on the sidelines dishing out sass (suzy), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:28 (ten years ago) link

I'd always thought they were both bearded.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:30 (ten years ago) link

This superinjunction shite making all Brits go ohh shhhh all the time cracks me up. What a ridiculous medieval law, Christ.

Random ASMR Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:30 (ten years ago) link

But then I am a bit sour because i haven't figured out the initials yet :-(

Random ASMR Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:31 (ten years ago) link

click on Matt DC's old story which has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:33 (ten years ago) link

OIC :)

Thanks Ed

Random ASMR Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:34 (ten years ago) link

(Not the place but this superinjunction just makes me giddy. Would the UK ask for me to be extradited I were to say it out loud here?)

Random ASMR Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:35 (ten years ago) link

try it and see

too busy s1ockin' on my 乒乓 (wins), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:36 (ten years ago) link

the great thing about superinjunctions is they are almost completely unenforceable once their existence becomes known because they don't really bind anyone outside of England and Wales

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:37 (ten years ago) link

oh now you've done it

too busy s1ockin' on my 乒乓 (wins), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:39 (ten years ago) link

Yup

Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:39 (ten years ago) link

Stet may need to be careful if he heads south of Gretna

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:40 (ten years ago) link

This doesn't seem like that much of a bombshell, tbh

Hearing moyes confirmedare we hearing m (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:50 (ten years ago) link

I didn't put my ass on the line for "not that much of a bombshell" ;_;

Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:51 (ten years ago) link

can honestly say it hasn't lowered my opinion of any of the parties involved

Doctor Who's on first (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 2 June 2013 19:55 (ten years ago) link

(Not the place but this superinjunction just makes me giddy. Would the UK ask for me to be extradited I were to say it out loud here?)

They'd probably start w/me, tbh.

stet, Sunday, 2 June 2013 21:31 (ten years ago) link

though if I had to share a cell w/youtube guy I'd probably choke myself on his glasses to escape
