Silenced.

Has anyone else noticed that the news suddenly seems to be full of ‘gagging orders’?  Is anyone else unsettled by this and wondering where they all suddenly came from?  Have I missed something?

Am I the only one who thinks it is NOT OK for people to do what they like and then have people silenced about it?

I for one don’t care what a footballer or a ‘household name television personality’ does in their own time*.  I also think that if they cultivate, and make money from, a ‘family-friendly image’, which the potential revelations could ruin, then they should kind of, um, suck it up.

Maybe not top of the breaking news list, but I am intrigued by all this.  It brings back memories from the ‘Law’ portion of my journalism course (we had a kind of bingo system where we would score points every time the lecturer mentioned Gillian Taylforth or Tom Jones or Englebert Humperdinck).

I think it is all very dangerous and fishy.

* I would like, however, to know who the ‘world famous married film star’ is.
