Tweeters Attempt to Break the Super Injunctions

There are reports that users of Twitter are attempting to break the super injunctions.

It’s now getting to the point, where someone with a super injunction might think of doing an Andrew Marr for the money.

Suppose you are an well-known actor, athlete or a footballer say, who has had a brief dalliance with a Z-list celebrity. But your wife is perhaps a sensible woman who has forgiven you and has warned you about future conduct.  Remember, strange as it may seem, there are a lot of women married to celebrities, who very much manage the  family’s finances and often have a serious career in their own right.  Perhaps you just want to act or play football and get on with your life. So you strike a deal with the Z-lister and sell the story. After all, in a footballer’s case the season is almost over and you can find a nice island hotel to hide for the summer.

So someone will take the money, settle with the Z-lister, write a few articles and run.

Once one has done it, the others might fall like a pack of cards.

You have to admit that probably keeping a super injunction going is not a trivial business and costly in terms of both time and money. The bill might hurt more than the adverse publicity.
