A question of success

Former journalist - you have not kept up to date - telling the truth is no defence, read the Simon Singh case. How do you feel about journalists who strive to bring the truth about corruption only to have the likes of Schillings attempting to prevent the facts coming into the public domain as with Denis Christel Sassou-Nguesso. The good thing is that every time we debate privacy and libel in the UK the very thing the Claimants have sought to conceal is regurgitated and some injunctions have spectacularly backfired – Trafigura, Tiger Woods. Sharon Stone, Ashley Cole, Frank Warren, Cherie Booth and Naomi Campbell have all used CFAs. The common denominator is that these are wealthy people for whom the CFA was not intended and by their avarice lawyers have killed their own cash cow
