“It is different if the story has some bearing on the performance of a public office or the correction of a misleading public impression cultivated by the person involved. But … that does not apply here.”
The Independent Press Standards Code, to which the Sun on Sunday subscribes, Mance noted, requires editors to demonstrate an exceptional public interest to override the “normally paramount interests of the children”.

There is no exceptional public interest in this story, just prurient interest by some members of the public and an agenda by the newspaper to continue as they have in the past pre Leveson. The fact that it has been printed in other jurisdictions is irrelevant. The press have a duty to abide by the decisions of the court and to adhere to their own industry's standards code. If the injunction is eventually lifted it would send a message to the tabloids that they can wind the clock back to pre-leveson times and invade peoples privacy when ever it suits their agenda.”
That's simply not true though .
If the person is fronting a campaign promoting safe sex and is happy to constantly push that agenda by funding it and raising funds AND naming it in his own honour then it's hypocritical of the person to be involved in an open marriage where one or other partner is NOT taking the very precautions that they are happy to lecture everyone else on .
I'm all for privacy in the normal circumstances , but sometimes those screaming and paying for privacy are being huge hypocrites . As in this case , in my opinion .
If the foundation wasn't involved then I'd say "So what ? It's worth a curtain twitch or two, but really their own business " .As it is I think they are HUGE hypocrites and those contributing or raising funds in their name can't be happy . Well I wouldn't be , that's for sure .
