The issue of super injunctions (SJ’s) has annoyed me ..

Why do people in the public domain demand privacy ?

Most of the people who are suggested as having an SJ have become rich and famous because we the lowly British public has paid for something for which ultimately they have got money from, whether it is paying to see them play football, subscribed to SKY, bought a shirt with their name on it, watched them on TV or at the cinema or even voted for them. Therefore I think we have a right to know what sort of person they really are. We can then make a decision as to whether we want to continue to contribute to their wealth !

I know that sometimes this information could embarrass their family but then they should thought about this before doing the things which they know were wrong and want to hush up now. They ultimately are the ones who have created the embarrassment for their family and therefore should feel regretful and apologise !

I especially dislike the politicians that moan about wanting more privacy. They seem to think they are the ones setting the terms of the deal by which we vote for them. This is wrong. They are not, we are. If they want us to vote for them then they should accept that they need to be totally transparent. If they don’t accept this then get out of politics.

This is a democracy. If a person wants us, the public, to put them in a position of power then I think we have the right to know exactly what sort of person they are. How can we trust these people if we don’t.

It may or may not matter that a politician has had an affair or does something morally questionable but it is for us to decide, not the politician.
