Right so after today we can name Ryan Giggs as the Premiership Footballer CTD who supposedly had an illicit affair with the Big Brother Semi-celebrity Imogen Thomas.

Giggs had taken a super-injunction out on the media to prevent them and us from outing him as the person who took it.  We are now legally allowed to name him.  Super-injunctions are a particularly interesting topic in the UK at the moment, it seems if you have enough money and you’re a footballer you can prevent the media from reporting who you are if you’ve done something you don’t want reported.

It seems that once it’s been outed by an MP we can say all we want about him.  It was revealed last week that CTD aka Ryan Giggs had taken legal action against Twitter to attempted to gain access to the 75,000 or more people who had named him on the social networking website.

It will be interesting to keep abreast (ha ha) of this story in the next few weeks, lets just hope that some more MP’s out them and then we can name and shame them for what they have/haven’t/might not of done.
