David Cameron...Simon, Fantastic , thanks for that.<br /><br />David Cameron <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/pandora/cameron-scores-own-goal-over-his-footie-credibility-405081.html" rel="nofollow">isn't much of a football fan</a>, but he does now claim allegiance to a team. He supports Aston Villa: they were the first team he saw, when his uncle took him to a game when he was 13.<br /><br />That got him into The Times '<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article5232268.ece?token=null&offset=84&page=8" rel="nofollow">50 worst famous football fans</a>. The paper wrote: "Man of the people Dave forgot to mention that he was taken along by his uncle, Sir William Dugdale, who just happened to be the Villa chairman at the time".Sunder Katwalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671411534003530927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985429043801017839.post-74596936913333606412010-01-31T10:54:10.435+00:002010-01-31T10:54:10.435+00:00I can just picture the briefing now -
Andy Coulso...I can just picture the briefing now -<br /><br />Andy Coulson - Right Dave, let's go over this one more time. John Terry is the England captain.<br /><br />David Cameron - Really, I thought it was that Strauss fellow?<br /><br />AC - No that's cricket.<br /><br />DC - Got it. So what's he done wrong.<br /><br />AC - He's been playing away.<br /><br />DC - Don't they do that every week.<br /><br />AC - No it's a euphemism it means he's been cheating on his wife.<br /><br />DC - Gosh, not to worry though, these things happen in a 'broken society'.<br /><br />AC - Quite but you're going to be asked whether you think he should still be England captain.<br /><br />DC - Instead of Borthwick?<br /><br />AC - No that's rugby<br /><br />DC - Right, well no problem, we all make mistakes, I believe in giving people a second chance and in your case Andy, 3 or 4.<br /><br />AC - Thanks. Not that simple though, he was involved with a team mates girlfriend.<br /><br />DC - Tricky one.<br /><br />AC - And Capello's a bit of a disciplinarian.<br /><br />DC - Who's Capello?<br /><br />AC - The England manager.<br /><br />DC - Funny name for an Englishman.<br /><br />AC - He's Italian.<br /><br />DC - Bloody typical. Under Labour it's johnny foreigner who gets all the jobs. Well when I'm Prime Minister...<br /><br />AC - If you mean.<br /><br />DC - Yeah whatever. "If" I'm Prime Minister I'll make sure the England manager is English. That'll be worth a few more marginals eh what?<br /><br />AC - Er no. Capello's pretty popular.<br /><br />DC - Why???<br /><br />AC - He's very good at his job, better than the English managers are.<br /><br />DC - Right, scrub that idea. What shall we do about this Jonty fellow?<br /><br />AC - John Terry.<br /><br />DC - Right<br /><br />AC - Well you should say that someone who trades on being voted Dad Of The Year and is a role model, should have higher moral standards.<br /><br />DC - Whoooaah, hang on a mo, we'll be in government in a few months, don't want to set a precedent.<br /><br />AC - Fair point, so what will you say.<br /><br />DC - Usual guff, blah blah blah "broken society", blah blah blah "personal matter", blah blah blah, "Greek tragedy", blah blah blah "all Brown's fault" and then I'll smile charmingly. Usually does the trick.<br /><br />AC - Lovely. Shall we get back to watching Andy Murray.<br /><br />DC - He's English isn't he.<br /><br />AC - Scottish if he loses, British if he wins.<br /><br />DC - Fabulous.Bill Kristol-Ballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909399779067445911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985429043801017839.post-41387253617862707012010-01-31T10:27:10.138+00:002010-01-31T10:27:10.138+00:00Parliament is free to legislate on privacy wheneve...Parliament is free to legislate on privacy whenever they want to, and the judges have repeatedly dropped hints in judgments that maybe parliament should do so. But until they decide to, the courts will continue to apply the old English law of confidence, modified by the right to a private life from the European Convention on Human Rights, as is their duty. <br /><br />There's actually not a lot wrong with our substantive privacy law; superinjunctions are a matter of procedures and remedies, which can be more problematic.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187238468370381052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985429043801017839.post-87692299825695275562010-01-31T10:22:16.933+00:002010-01-31T10:22:16.933+00:00I feel that it's more fundamental than that Su...I feel that it's more fundamental than that Sunder. It is a question of the limits of "judge-made law", and the separation of powers in the legal system. We can all cite examples where it seems that the lawyers (especially the House of Lords panels) have avoided making new law in their judgments. The reason for this is the law should be made by the legislature, not a slow war of attrition by Carter-Ruck. Gordon Brown and even the head of the PCC have become united in their mission to review the future of the "super-injunction", and it is only correct that the legislature - whether under under Brown or Cameron/Clegg = do this, not law firms specialising in English media lew.Shibley Rahmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707965923019234923noreply@blogger.com
