Another premier league footballer takes an injunction out

Why is that exactly ? :? If you had an affair in your town or village could you stop the community gossiping about it ? Would you be able to take out a super injunction to stop the slapper involved naming you ? Even if you could apply for an injunction would any court grant you said injunction ? Giggs is doing what so many footballers before him have done and what so many more will do in the future and that is living off his name and celeb status. They are exploiting the fact that they are famous and can nail chicks all over the place and while each and every one of us would love to have the chance to do so as well, I dont think he should be able to use that very fame that is getting him his action to then prevent the world knowing about it

Btw that is not me defending the money grabbing whores who exploit their chance to make money in kiss and tell stories but with regards to these star footballers my feelings are "dont do the crime if you cant do the time" 8)
Because we have a charter of human rights that should be adhered to. Once you start disregarding one right you're putting all other rights at risk. No matter what your views on high paid celebrities are, they have just as much of a claim to these rights as you or me.
There is no right to privacy in British law.
Historically there isn't a right to privacy in English law so actions were based on breach on confidence. But the HRA 1998 which gave effect to the EConHR has allowed the right to privacy to be incorporated into English law, so yes we do have a right to privacy now.

The self obsessed footballers for living off their "celebrity" status and splashing their wealth on whores like this one, often hurting their own wives and kids in the process. But also the dirty skanky little whores that will suck any famous cock if they think they will get a few free nights out or a car or holiday out of the dimwitted celebrity and can then sell their story to the scum that is the tabloid media. :evil:

If this cuntsore wants to do the "moral" thing then take no money for the story. Yeah, right... :roll: :evil:
Having read all the comments on this, I reckon this is the best one :lol: 8) :wink:

But seriously, all this talk about Imogen Thomas being hurt sounds like a load of bollocks to me and she just wants the tabloid money, but the injunction is a fucking joke as well. These footballers are supposed to be role models, and in this case this one appears to be married and have kids and how this twat can get away with cheating on his wife and being just a shit dad and bloke really defies me, the system is a joke imo :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Why does this Imogen bird want to shop the chap she had an affair with?? - what's the point?

Surely there's no moral reason to want to tell the world... which surely means her only motivation is financial, by selling the story? or am I missing something? :?
The usual reasons,Money,and publicity,and of course,"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!"

The "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned",is a quote from Shakesspeare,and basically means that if you fuck a bird,then dump it,she turns into a vicious,vindictive mare,worse than anything that "hell" could produce.

Apparently Imogen Thomas is struggling to launch her new pop career. So Far she's unable to announce any Giggs. 8)

Did anyone see the picture of Ryan Giggs in the Mail today?? It was taken at the Man Utd end of season dinner and he's looking every inch the top family man he always claims to be, with his ever loving wife beside him. Bless!

I wonder why the Daily Mail decided to print a picture of dear old Ryan with his ever loving wife, rather than all the other Man Utd players that were there???? :shock: :shock:

I don't know how much his super injunction cost but his wife didn't look as if she was about to give up on the WAG lifestyle anytime soon.

You can speak of such "right" in terms of philosophy or law. In either case there is some, I would argue. One of our PM's once said "there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation." ... I don't think there's place for media in there either.

My understanding is that the super injunction was paid for by the club......

Footballers make a lot of money out of their image and Giggs (like Tiger Woods) plays on being the "squeeky clean family man". If this image is false then I think this is in the public interest.

PS morally speaking, I don't think Imogen Thomas cashing in on something she is good at is any worse than some less than talented footballers screwing season ticket holders for another 6.5%....
