We will be in touch
So thanks to the MP John Hemming spilling the beans in Parliament we now know that Ex RBS head Fred Goodwin had taken out a super-injunction gagging the media referring to Fred as a 'Banker'.
Do these things serve any useful purpose, apart from rich people trying to hide their shame?
Try calling Stoner an accountant, I dare you. 😀
[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/or-do-you-just-wait-patiently-on-the-branch-of-an-acacia-tree ]I don't like this whole "super injunction" malarkey. If you live in the public eye, and if your lifestyle is funded by some (or all, in the case of public servants) of that public, then if you're caught bumming an octopus then on your head be it.
Wailing that "it might affect my family life" is all well and good, but surely you shouldn't have got all jiggity with a cephalopod mollusc in the first place? [/url]
the injunction is primarily about another matter (howzyerfather) as far as I have read. Hemming only mentioned the banker bit but didnt touch on the main part of the injunction.
This'll be because Fred Goodwin had an affair with a married woman banker at RBS around the same time as the UK Banking system was going tits-up then.
Not that I really give a toss what he gets up to, but I don't see why he should be afforded such privacy.
how very dare you.
Any more of that kind of thing and you'll find my boot injuncting your arsehole comrade!
Anyone know why the judiciary appear to be issuing more of them?
Right to privacy under the human-rights act or something else?
really only been doing it in high profile cases where the existence of an injunction is enough information to identify who did what.
hard to comment when you no nothing about it really or the reason for it.
Actually forget that where would STW be with that as a mantra
After leaving the tower of cards formerly known as RBS, Goodwin joined RMJM for some reason known to no man. Interestingly RMJM is very publicly and acrimoniously imploding at the moment.

Fine legalese, comrade... but I am not deterred. With the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, I am ready for the fight.
Besides, I've been hung for less. 8)

CRC are looking for a new finance system, maybe he could help.
I rather think they won't need Fred the Shred to offer them any assistance.
It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
