John, To suggest that any story has been suppressed is to assume that their was a story in the first place,

The from what i've seen the STORY of the secret-affair has not a shred of evidence to back up the THEORY that their was ever a secret-affair in the first place either way each to their own i couldn't care less,

As i said before it's not what's in the headlines we need to be worried about,

The thing that worries me is what was going on whilst everyone was talked about the secret affair,

It looks like this story has been suppressed. Remember Andy Hamilton on HIGNFY (the one where they gave him a cushion to sit on). They were talking about Peter Mandelson's new book and Andy mentioned Mandelson saying to someone "They call me the Prince of Darkness - how ridiculous!!!!"

Just then his mobile rang and he was heard saying: "This news must be suppressed"

I think it was another one of the medias non-stories. They seem to be all the fashion at the moment. They imply something interesting has happened in order to sell newspapers.

Well, what happened? Have I missed it? Or was it just a bubble in a bucket of fresh warm cow's milk?

Agree with that, AnnC :-) Private Eye have been largely correct over the years. They do take loads of chances, but usually cover their backs pretty well.

I was watching Ian Hislop and Paul discussing Super Injunctions on HAGONFY last night on Dave - and they were very funny. No doubt what Hislop felt about suppression of stories like the "footballer" and "reality star".

I do think some posters get an awful lot of pleasure in taking the pee out of another poster. I feel sure that meets an emotional need within their own psyche. They assume that the person they target is strong emotionally.

Or maybe they don't give a cuss because the other poster is too engrossed in dismantling radiators

Where on earth did that come from?

I am enjoying listening to the radio this evening - great song at the moment - can't remember the artist but I think it was Imagination - however the song is called Just A Delusion or something like that - wonderful

I am not the expert that one or two seem to think. I ask more questions that I answer.

I am wondering if a super injunction was placed on this affair 3 years ago that is still in place. And the Mail on Sunday (see OP) nearly blew open a can of worms that has lain dormant for 3 years.

I think Private Eye know full story. I think the Cornish blogger who sent you tube videos all over the place has several facts wrong.
