Saturday Seven Up
Last week was a monster of a week with super-injunctions, and the breaking of them, driving readers here to find out more as the papers held back for fear of Schillings. Twitter triumphed beating Schillings and the judges with a little help from transparency campaigner John Hemming MP. In a chilling legal environment we kept readers up to date with the battle and made the case against Schillings forcefully.
This blog has also been at the forefront of the Huhne hunt, pushing it along and tracking every development in a story which is now entering its fourth week. You have to admire Huhne’s limpet-like quality in the face of adversity. He spins even faster than he drives, yesterday The Telegraph fell for his line (Guido was sceptical from the outset) and it took until yesterday evening before Vicky Pryce got her rebuttal out via Michael Crick. We’re eagerly awaiting what could be the fourth Sunday of newspaper coverage tomorrow…
All this newsflow made last week the busiest week of the year so far, Monday alone saw 104,923 page views from readers keen on discovering more about super-injunctions and the latest developments in the Huhne saga. The week saw 119,737 visitors making 348,984 visits to view 582,110 pages. Thanks to you we’re Britain’s favourite blog, the one you love and they hate. The top stories last week in order of popularity were:
- Bet Giles Coren Wishes His Tweets Were Sub-Edited
- Hemming Names Giggs In Parliament
- Super Injunction the Movie: Twitter v Giggs
- Another Sunday Savaging For Huhne
- Hank the Teaching “Pilgrim”
- Sexy MP Site Titillates Parliament
- Sweet Dreams Are Made of This…
You’re either in front of Guido, or you are behind…
Juthtine hath made me the happietht man in the world! Now all I need to do ith make her pregnant and I’m guaranteed to become prime minithter! OK, it didn’t work for Gordon but I’m thure it’ll work for me!
I didn’t break any injunctions. I just called Rod Christie Miller possibly the most useless lawyer on the face of the planet.
Guido will still be here when he is gone.
Next year we will be millionaires Rodney

The BBC (Today, Radio 4) and now repeated on BBC News 24 are attacking Sharon Shoesmith. A mention of Ed Balls but no critism of him by the BBC. Another example of labour bias from the BBC.
Let the unusually quiet Ed Balls pay her compensation.
That’s what you get for pandering to “Daily Mail” readership for a quick headline political win instead of following “proper procedures” under the disciplinary code…….
Has the Grauniad gone out of business yet ??
Not while it continues to avoid paying its fair share of UK tax.

Humphries was determined not to allow her to make her point about the utter bollocks that is Ofsted and its reports saying whatever happens to be convenient at the time. Humphries is a c’unt.
and so is she so they were well matched. She made her point repeatedly but seemed to want to talk about anything other than her own responsibility.
No, she repeatedly tried and he repeatedly prevented her. It’s as if the liblabcon Establishment are scared of what she might say.
If Huhne worked as hard for UK debt reduction as he does to save his own skin, we would be out of trouble in no time at all.
How is he working to save his own skin? It looks to me as if he is getting on with the job, possibly taking the odd five minute break to enjoy the sight of the world and his (soon to be ex) wife making prats of themselves
How foolish of me to forget that he is the saviour of the world. If he is prosecuted, it will be the crucifixion all over again.
Gaia, Gaia, lama sabaqtani?
Well said, Paragnostic! I promise to make no references to (((Mick Hucknall))) today for that.

Wiki lists ‘third world debt’ among his personal interests.
He obviously couldn’t give a shit about UK debt.
4 billion UK citizens can’t be wrong.
How did you get the true figures? They’re supposed to be secret.
A lot of those hits are mine coz there is not a lot else to do down in this dusty cellar with all the noise going on
“4 billion UK citizens” Does that include the postal votes?
’4 billion UK citizens’
Sounds like a ZaNu Labour wet dream.

I don’t give a fuck about baby p. Just give me my £1m compensation.

whoosh! old over the head stuff from tat. Anonymous, for he has run out of sockpuppets. lol
You’ll have to start using deliberate spelling mistakes like Billy.
As LW would probably have said, “It all depends upon what you mean by deliberate.”
Mong alert!
which won’t be much as he bought his house at the peak of “Brown’s Boom”
err… I mean bubble, which started in America of course.
Rumours abound that you set up the whole baby P episode so you could claim unfair dismissal.
Don’t forget that Shoesmith had previous. Baby P wasn’t the only child death under her reign at Haringey and she’d already had one report that was resignation material.
Having said that, only Balls would eschew the proper procedure to hand the incompetent twat a golden goodbye on a plate. If I didn’t know better, I think that Balls cocked it up to see another socialist all right, but that’s unbelievable conspiracy theory, innit?
Anyone know what the useless hag is doing now?
Yes, he’s shadow chancellor.
So her name’s Florence? I won’t tell Gil. Your secret’s safe with me.
Please tell someone who actually gives a shit
Florence, eh? She’s the one in Canterbury, or is it another slag?
Nah! Magic roundabout
She’s in Love with Florence, But what about Zebidee? Boing! Time for bed everyone.

I can never work out nowadays where the dissenters, who post here, come from.
This time, last year, it was nearly all Labour apparatchiks. They now wallow in their own Slough of Despond and maybe a good many of these newer oiks are displaced LibDems who thought their party was to the left of NewLab.
Whet they all share in common though is a combination of deep bitterness together with a complete lack of humour. What dreary lives they must lead.
The advertisers don’t mind
That’s because they’ve shed-loads of benefits to spend
Continued good luck to you, Guido. Like you, I have no difficulty in listening to views that are contrary to mine.
However, Dr Johnson’s saying, ” What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure”, has never been as true. That should count for all strands of opinion. (Billy – kindly note.)
I think you meant slough of despond rather than Slough but never having been there you could be right!
John Betjeman tells all you need to know.
You can read it either way, pet.
‘This miry Slough is such a place as cannot be mended; it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore is it called the Slough of Despond: for still as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there ariseth in his soul many fears, and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place; and this is the reason of the badness of this ground.’
John Bunyan, The Pilgrim’s Progress – Harmondsworth/Penguin edition, suggest you refresh your memory, ducks.
Slough: twinned with a town in Latvia. Populated by people from Poland.
At least the Poles are Christian…
touchy! touchy! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!
seems like someone does mind
and has been told by his CCHQ paymasters that Hague is off limits
now go do as you are told little doggy and bite huhne’s ankles some more
You got it wrong on Huhne, Thick as Thieves, so I see you’re back to your old tricks of throwaway sockpuppets and stealing others’ monikers.
It’s not dreary. We smash windows and threaten minimum-wage shop assistants.
Have you not realised yet who these people are who post on here or where they come from ? They are the angry “silent majority” who lurk beneath the veneer of the “Big Society”
Breaking News : Gill Scott Heron Dies in America at the age of just 62
Singer/songwriter Heron is credited by many as the inventor of rap music !
RIP Gill
Clearly they don’t make ‘em there as they do in Rochdale…
Mornin ar cat
Hi mate! Load of bolleaux eaters in this morning, I see.
Dont know about you mate but i couldn’t raise a feckin smile over that list of MP’s
I had pointed out that it was an example of the fallacy of the false dilemma. Why choose anything when you don’t want any of them?
He was executed, I hope?
Gil Scott Heron was fucking brilliant and rap hasn’t anything to do with it. Winter in America, Military and the Monetary, Angel Dust etc etc – the man was a marimba genius.
However, he invented rap, for which the only acceptable punishment is death.
Invent seems perjorative and Heron merely spoke to young black Americans to turn them away from guns, violence, class A drugs, misogyny and crime yet gave them a funky baseline and poetry. Did Elvis invent rock ‘n’ roll, did the Beatles destroy it?
Up until Grandmaster Flash all was OK – it all seemed to go bad round about the time that ‘Wham Rap’ came out.
I blame George Michael for the decline in rapping standards.
Gil Scott Heron, however, was pure jazz with a bit of poetry on top, and a fine musician.
Latht night I took Juthtine up the chutney chuffer. Thhe thaid “Too fatht, too deep”.
I’ll be the decider of that.
Are you certain it wasn’t, ” are you in yet?”.
Bollocks Guido you aren’t at the forefront of anything, you are just saying ooh look Crick says this and oooh the sunday papers might say something else. All of which we can see for ourselves.
Crick’s piece is a classic bit of dishonesty. He pretends to be denying a story that Vicky was “not cooperating” with the police . The story said nothing of the kind, it said that she was not confirming her claim – a completely different thing. Of course she is cooperating because she has belatedly realised what a brilliant job she has done of painting herself into a corner/sawing off the branch she is sitting on. She is between the Scylla of self-confessed perjury and the Charybdis of wasting police time. She has been so busy feeding her husband’s goolies into the mangle that she never noticed her left tit getting caught in it and in her efforts to extricate it she has now got the right one trapped too. So of course she is cooperating with the police in a yes sir no sir please don’t send me to prison sir kind of way. Cooperating doesn’t however mean confirming her story
As to the “net closing in” suggestion, the filth were always bound to ask questions of the guests at the LSE and guess how much info they are going to get from it. How many dinners you had in 2003 can you remember in detail, or indeed at all?
Oh and Crick’s idiot cunning list of suggestions to the police, all of which occurred to the rest of us weeks ago, omits the biggy which is mobile phone location records
not a fan then?
Mobile phone records are only kept for a year.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/27/data_retention_law_passed/
Mobile phone records are only mandated to be kept for a year.
There – fixed it for you.
I’d be unsurprised to find a data centre somewhere in Cheltenham with call logs dating back to 2003 and before, especially for ‘persons of interest’ such as Huhne.
Apart from being the first to identify Vicky Pryce as the driver, first to place her at the LSE on the night, debunking the Telegraph story claiming Vicky wasn’t cooperating with the police and putting in the complaint before the Electoral Commission etcera. You seem a bit rattled.

A fantastic piece of detection my dear fellow !
I’m not rattled, i’m just a window licker waiting for the pubs to open. Rattlement is saying things like oooh the papers have got an affidavit and then oooh well its not an affidavit but it is in writing so it must be the killer blow.
I think the people who didn’t identify the Unnamed Woman the first time the story broke were the people who still think a fat bloke dressed in red comes down the chimney once a year. But congrats on the scoop.
After Guido put the crosshairs on me I was gone in days.

Yes. I don’t believe the comments are genuine.
You probably made up this one, too.
I find the Sky news presenter who’s on now rather biased. He was interviewing a spokesman from Amnesty Int and he asked if it wasn’t ott of them to call Guantanamo Bay a gulag. The spokesman said no but the presenter said whatever its flaws it’s not like a gulag. Keep your neocon bias to yourself buddy!
Do you work for the BBC you coked up bastard?
Don’t think he knows what a gulag is – bless.

Why is it that virtually no-one can spell John Hemming’s name right? Remember: there’s only one John Hemming!

Whomsoever it was who wrote the Guantanamera song should sue them all for copyright abuse.
I believe anyone should be able to freely
stealuse any copyrighted material in any way they like.I believe that copyright should be granted only on the same terms as patents – if you haven’t made money in the first 17 years, then it’s into the public domain with it. That’s pretty much how it worked when introduced – and it has been perverted by legislators ever since.
Exceptions to be made for exceptionally fine music, such as Hurry On Sundown or Masters of the Universe, of course.
On the other hand, “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)” speaks for itself…
Оn thе оthеr hаnd, “Mоnеy’s Tоо Tіght (Tо Mеntіоn)” spеаks fоr іtsеlf…
The Internet muddies the waters somewhat.
If you find a photo on the web and you wish to use it on your own website or in a magazine without paying royalties, how would you know if the photographer hadn’t made any money from it for the first 17 years of its existence?
As it stands, you cannot legally use the photo. Dave is looking to change this (the last Labour government originally suggested the change, and the Tories opposed it, until they took over and did a u-turn).
“I looked for the copyright holder but I couldn’t find the origin of the photo” is now to be a legitimate
excusereason for not paying royalties.Oi Cat – you promised not to mention that – luckily I dug out the Dusty Springfield as a mindbleach
Didn’t realise the proposal was to be able to use stuff willy nilly – I bet that doesn’t apply to stuff owned by friends of Mandy and Treasonmann who put the proposals together under the wise counsel of lawyers for Sony, Disney et al.
I’m dead against that bit of it then – if people can’t be arsed to go out and take their own photos, then they should be forced to have a text-only website (caption competitions excluded, of course).
My objection to copyright is the abuse of it at the behest of the music and film cartels, not to the creators being properly acknowledged and compensated.

That’s my new yacht down the shitter.
Mail on Sunday just repeats information already reported this week, no new killer evidence to support the allegations.
The really silly bit of this week’s story is an attempt to show that its unlikely Vicky Pryce could have reached Stansted in time based on an asseration that she might not have left until 10pm and based on journey times calculated by satnavs which of course assume that she stuck to the speed limit.
