Post details: Did Guido just do what Guido claims he did?

12/03/07

Did Guido just do what Guido claims he did? English (UK)

No. He gives the false impression that he's breaking the story at some personal risk Simon admits to falling for it at first:

if the Attorney General does want to serve an injunction, you know where to find Guido

The truth appears to be that he's merely providing the bluer unedited version of speech originally paraphrased by the BBC and appearing thusly at Order Order:

Oh ****, Levy Has Asked Me To Lie For Him

It's not clear he's even seen the document, but I choose to trust he has, since he tends to get stuff from time to time. He's just also prone to exaggerate in his own way.

Anyway, the BBC broke the story having got their day in court:

the BBC was granted permission to report the reasons an injunction was served

Guido and the rest of the world can take this as a signal that they won't be getting in any trouble for reporting the same facts.

Sometimes when there's a lot going on in your head its nice to get it out on paper. Paper's too old fashioned so this programmer does it online. I'm 25 living in London and trying to develop an intelligent opinion about how the world should work. I'm not all there yet, so do help me out.
