A court that grants a pointless injunction merely brings the justice system into disrepute. The injunction was pointless because there are victims not bound by NDAs who are perfectly free to speak out and name Green (presumably as long as they can overcome likely threats and bullying). Gagging a newspaper whilst they are free to speak out is absurd. The injunction went against the public interest. As for this: "We have many wild and lurid allegations about his character and behaviour but nothing of substance. There are several here happy to abuse the man because they do not like him and have read unsavoury allegations about him in the gutter press." That is simply nonsense. Green's reputation as a workplace bully, as a man who makes very poor business decisions (BHS, anybody?), as a man who serially creams off billions from his businesses to increase his already-boundless wealth, and as a very poor person-manager, goes back a very long way, well before this latest outrage. We do not "abuse" him because we don't like him (as you do to Corbyn, and YOU have very little to go on with regard to that, though it doesn't seem to stop you), but because people like him need to be fully exposed in the public interest. Odd that you, of all people, have the brass neck to castigate the "gutter press" when that section of the media, along with the worst gutter-blog on the web, provides your personal favourite source of first resort.
