Sun gagged over funding probe email
Mon Mar 5, 2007 5:55 AM GMT15

LONDON (Reuters) - The Sun has been blocked from publishing details of an email linked to a police probe into political party funding, the tabloid said on Monday, barely 48-hours after the BBC was similarly gagged.

Attorney General Lord Peter Goldsmith, acting on behalf of the police, obtained a court injunction on Sunday to prevent the daily from revealing the content of the email sent between two aides to Prime Minister Tony Blair, it said.

The censored email was also at the centre of a BBC report blocked by a court order on Friday, according to the Sun.

"Attorney general Lord Goldsmith last night authorised a government lawyer to contact us and seek a guarantee the information would not be made public," it said.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman was unable to immediately confirm the report.

The BBC said on Saturday a story about the political funding scandal it was barred from running could have been central to police inquiries into a potential cover-up involving aides to Blair.

Will Scottish newspapers , which are not covered by these injunctions in English Courts, be used to leak this email, as has happened in the past ?

Why is the UK political blogosphere not falling over themselves to solicit copies and to publish the leaked Number 10 Downing Street "loans for honours" scandal email, which is apparently the cause of the Injunction served on the BBC by the Attorney General Lord Goldsmith ?

Surely the issues about "public interest" and the difficulties about authentication of any such alleged document, the chances of predjudicing any criminal court case, and the risks that publishing a tracebale version online to the whsitleblower confidential sources within Government, the Labour party, the Police or the Judicial system are exactly the same as in the Bush/ Blair "bombing Al-Jazeera" memo ?

We will not be publishing any such alleged copy, if we are lucky or unlucky enough to get hold of a copy.

The chances of us or any other bloggers getting hold of such an email before the mainstream media seems to be very remote, but the ethical issues remain the same.

About this blog

This weblog comments on NuLabour's anti-democratic and authoritarian policies and political manipulation. We will try to deconstruct some of the NuLabour propaganda, disinformation, media spin and leaks.

Nothing has changed with the unelected Gordon Brown, who took over as Labour Party leader from Tony Blair, and became Prime Minister, without being elected, not even by the Labour Party, let alone with a political mandate from a General Election.

Now that there is a Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition government, this blog will continue to watch out for any NuLabour creepiness and control freakery, attempting to ooze back into political power and influence, under the unpopular Ed Miliband, who personally shares the blame for all of NuLabour / Labour's policies. .
