"It is obviously impracticable to imprison them all."
Darn. All you thousands of people who named alleged football romancer R___ G___ (Ryan Giggs!) aren't going to be prosecuted. Also he has been named in Parliament. Also, this is being referred to as "one of the biggest acts of civil disobedience in modern times" and that just doesn't feel very good, in the long view of history.

"'The court's duty remains to try and protect the claimant, and particularly his family, from intrusion and harassment so long as it can.'"

It's a good thing the court's supporting this particular family unit, cause Giggs sure wasn't.

And my opinion of professional footballers was so high before this. What are we going to tell the children?

It is, however, in keeping with the grand tradition of British sex scandals being the most boring and inane in the universe.

What's the big deal? I couldn't pick Ryan Giggs out of a lineup of two "football" players. This is America, after all.

@boyofdestiny As long as the other one's David Beckham, you'd be fine?

(I've now exhausted my knowledge of footballers …)

Yeah. This is.

Not the reposting of all those DRM codes in violation of the DMCA. Not the creation of the anti-kettling app. Not the Minnesota Pro-Union Protests. Not Tahrir Square. Not Tiananmen Square.

THIS is one of the biggest acts of civil disobedience in modern times.

Got it.
