Its a serious and funny business; but I dont think rich people should be
allowed to buy secrecy for 50 thousand smackers. While poorer people have to suffer in silence.

On the prem football adulterers, Why do they get married?

The internet is involved in rumours. (I dont mind TRUE gossip) But LIES
leave a nasty taste.

Myself and Lily Allen are not an ITEM. I just like her songs "An Item" who invented that phrase?

I could tell this was a GabbyLogon post just by reading the title. Hmm

Has he admitted it publicly Hardhat?

If so, Mrs B's got to deal with everyone knowing about his dalliance with a prossy (is the tart Rooney's leavings?) and having a good ol' snigger about the 'sex toy'.

How crushingly humiliating for her. AND he spent 50 grand of their joint wealth on lawyers (actually, I suspect the true cost is not far off £150,000).

If a divorce ensues that'll be another win-win for the legal profession.

According to the press, yes, he's admitted it to his mrs.

I think that this is where freedom of speech for the press is grossly unfair. None of this is in the public interests to know but because they are famous the press thinks their sex lives are fair game. They're no more fair game than the next bloke in the street.

I have interest in neither.

I hate it when news reports are cluttered up with lurid gossip about who did what (not financial or illegal) with who and who tried (using legal means0 to keep it from being gossiped about.

I'm all for more superinjunctions, if it means we get more real news and less pointless tittle-tattle and salacious yet pointless stirring. Moseley can shag 50 women and their donkeys all at once for all I care, and Andrew Marr's job is to ask tough questions on behalf of the public not conduct a perfect private life on our behalf (I don't care who he legally shags, either).

I don't give a monkeys what sporting personalities, luvvies, major or minor slebs, and chavvy z-list wannabes get up to in private, but I care deeply that those who are elected to make the law, and those who are employed by institutions that impact on the lives of others, possess at least a modicum of moral and financial probity.

It seems to me that the reporting of gossip is a very small price to pay for a free press - without which we will be in ignorance as to whether our 'rulers' are worthy of their exalted positions or whether their grandstanding and pontificating is merely a case of 'don't do as I do, do as I say'.

As for Andrew Marr - he's paid from the public purse and I see no reason why should he be exempt from scrutiny merely because his brief is to put searching questions to others.
