Andrew Marr

Turns out that a Labour politician is [allegedly] the real father of the child Andrew Marr was paying child support for.

What a Balls-up.
 
I had a dream I went to his house for tea. Seemed a good guy in that, not that the super injunctioning sort. Enjoyed his History of Britain stuff as well, in real life.
 
Can't believe he paid maintainance for 7 YEARS before he realised he wasn't the father. Has he never seen Jeremy Kyle??
 
There cant be many public figures who dont have any skeletons in the cupboard.
 
Who would give a shit? :lol:

Anyone remotely bothered about their own freedom of expression.

These super-injunctions are setting a legal precedent. In theory, councils or companies can now use injunctions to prevent people in dispute with them from going public (it's already happened, apparently).

Also, if you were to have it off with someone rich/famous, they can take out an injunction to prevent you talking about the relationship - even though it should be a basic right for you to be able to talk about all aspects of your own life if you choose to.

As for Andrew Marr...how can he, as a journalist, question politicians or lawyers on this increasingly important story when he himself has resorted to a super-injunction. He should resign.

Agreed and added a bit in bold.

Regarding Marr, agree entirely, a complete and utter hypocrite. he should be sacked before resigning.
