Secretive Marr in Action

As Labourlist point out, here’s Andrew Marr in action, while using the courts to keep discussion of his own life off of the television and out of the papers:

The politics of that story aside, Marr was not the right person to be seeking the truth. Was the BBC officially aware of the conflict of interest?

    I always knew she wasn’t my child. As I always too Alice up “the back way”.

    Heard Ian Hislop interviewed on the Toady programme about the Marr super-injunction; it seems that Private Eye had much to do with the legal challenge to said injunction.

    I’m slowly developing a cautious respect for Hislop. Despite the slightly scurrilous nature of the Eye, he does seem to be one of the more insightful and straightforward of the current crop of MSM journos.

      Except he’s now fully signed up to that most unfunny Marxist comedy fest with the other socialist shrils and luvvies.

        Engineer says:

        He also presented a couple of series about Victorian achievements on’t box which I felt had rather more depth than most such televisual offerings.

        As for HIGNFY, on the few occasions that I do bother to watch it, Hislop does seem to be equally rude about all political stripes – he does seem better balanced than most of the BBC’s so-called comedians.

        Up sh1t creek says:

        Did Hislop actually talk some sense about super-injunctions and how parliament are bone idol about sorting the issue out once and for all?

          The problem is – it is no good Call Me Dave stating that this is a matter for Parliament when he, and his predecssors, have failed to do anything about them. The judges are merely filling the vacuum created by our idiot politicians. They can hardly complain about them in the light of their complete failure to act.

      Sir William Waad says:

      I wish the Eye were scurrilous. These days it is far too close to aspects of the Establishment, for instance with its pandering the public-sector union members and its ultra-safe political jokes.

      Sally should know that looks are not everything.
      In her case, looks are nothing.
      Can you imagine the love child of Sally and Andrew?
      Best not, I think.

    Sorry Guido, but if you expect me to watch a clip of the sick-making and cringeworthy McBust, that wrecker of our finances and deficit-denier in chief, forget it. The only clip of him that would interest me is seeing him led away to a long prison sentence.

        What about that clip of crash fucking up the Labour election launch on the steps of Number 10. you may recall he uttered the phrase along the lines of “the people are the servants of the Government” Freudian slip if ever there was one.
        It went downhill from then on .

      She’s denied this categorically, so she will be forced to take potentially ruinous legal action if people keep saying it.

      Cant see she would risk that if she’s lying.

    OllieReeder says:

    Talking of hypocrisy…

    Has anyone else noticed that the Guardian – that standard bearer of the fight against outrageous super injunctions – somehow neglects to mention that the Mrs Marr who presumably agreed with her errant husband’s decision to gag the media, is in fact one of their own leading columnists?

    Spooky or what?

    Oh, and they have made sure that there are no comments allowed below their reporting of the Marr case. Presumably to prevent anyone pointing out this tiny inconsistency…

    Just shoot the fuckers says:

    I’m not a royalist but I think police or royal security should gun down any muslim c unts trying to protest on Friday. If we can’t even have a royal wedding in our own country without a bunch of stinking bearded fucks shouting abuse, then we might as well call it a day. What the fuck’s the point of armed royal guards if they’re not going to take action? Gunning down a few of these muzbot c unts will send a message that we won’t put up with their shit anymore and will prevent more of these benefit scrounging c unts coming over here.

          Just shoot the fuckers says:

          The only p*aceful muslim is a dead one. That’s not rhetorical, just an actual observation. While alive, they’re loud fuckers, whether it’s killing people or those fat toothless muslim women ululating like freaks every time one of their retarded kids martyrs himself. Most parts of the world, people grieve if they lose a child. In muslim countries, the death of a son who blows himself up is treated as cause for celebration.
