I'm surprised a bloke this fekin ugly and uninteresting actually applied for a superinjunction blocking us from finding out hehad an affair. You'd have thought he would have wanted everyone to know!!!

I guess we need to know who he's been poking.... she must of been kind of desperate if this was the best she could do. Imagine being the 'marriage wrecker' of this quality of catch....! I'm guessing shes not appearing in Nuts or Zoo magazine with her tits out any time soon.....

Hislop was very good this morning on R4 about this.

Journalists blocking other journalists from doing their job is pretty hypocritical. Marr now recognises this and admits that it was probably not the right thing to do.

Hislop was on R4 this morning, saying Marr (pre injunction) had written a piece stating they were bad etc etc.

Hislop, basically called him out on being a hypocrite for a number of reasons.

I loved the comment from Marr about why he sought the injunction. 'I had my own family to think about'

Ashame he did not think of his own family while his trousers were around his ankles.

The utter cretin.

Politicians and media people have far more in common than they do differences.

Didn't everyone know this anyway?

Personally I think what Marr gets upto is his own business. Its not as thought he's selling himself as a relationship expert to the public. I don't view him as someone in public life just because he presents the odd TV programme.

Politicians are in a different position. If the deputy PM is shagging his secretary, or a minister is fixing his nanny's visa, that shouldnt be injunction-able.

If Andrew Marr can have an extra-marital affair, there's hope for us all.

There's "media" and there's "media". It's probably too broad a term in this case. Marr is a political commentator and pundit who, as part of his profession, passes judgement and comment on the behaviour of politicians.

For example, I couldn't care less if Wayne Rooney or Jordan gets up to all sorts of things in their spare time.

But if a journo - especially a high profile o0ne - is going to criticise and castigate others for their morals (or lack of same), they had better look to their own behaviour first.

And, if they do "lapse", the LAST thing they should do is try and stop fellow journalists doing THEIR job.

I heard it was due to video evidence of him bending over and being bummed by various leading Labour cabinet ministers and heard screaming, 'Thank you Sir, please my I have more!'

So goes the rumour. Neither party ever confirmed. The kid isn't his...

I don't think Marr does pass judgement in his role. He might ask a question of a politician, that the public want to ask, but that's different from being a Glenn Beck sort of individual using a TV show to give his own views.

I guess it just comes down to your views as to whether you care (or want to read about) peoples affairs in the papers. I have absolutely no interest in it. It's tabloid rubbish. I just put Marr in the same caption as Jordan and Rooney as you mention - don't care, not interested.

And I wouldn't.

Marr's presentation style, views, comments, etc matter.

Rooney's and Jordan's don't.

I think there is a fundamental difference. Listen to Ian Hislop's interview on Radio 4 this morning.

Yeah, that's my first and lasting thought too. Always for "the familys sake" though isn't it? Bit like spanky (max mosely for those who don't follow F1), who sordid little tale was so embarrassing he had to launch a sanctimonious crusade against the evil sick journo's who caused so much distress to his poor family.
