Interesting story here. Essentially UK newspapers were unable to report a story ebcause of legal action which seems rather heavy-handed, the editor Tweeted his frustration and, because teh legal system has not caught up with the 21st century (some might say teh 20th!) others who knew what the story was about but were not subject to the legal injunction were able to publicise teh story. (Which is now known to more people than it would have been if not injuncted in teh first place.)
