DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE IN ENGLAND:



Why the English media could go to jail for reporting on the olive oil trysts of Elton John’s husband

It has gay threesomes, a Canadian, olive oil wrestling and one of Great Britain’s most legendary celebrities.

But while Americans, Scots and anybody with an internet connection can read the salacious details of Sir Elton John’s open marriage, a controversial injunction could put English and Welsh journalists in jail if they report the same.

“This is an absolute farce,” British MP Philip Davies, a member of the Commons’ justice select committee, told U.K. media.

The story, as reported last week in the New York-based National Enquirer, is that David Furnish, the Canadian husband of Sir Elton John, has carried on a lengthy affair with British businessman Daniel Laurence.

The three-page exposé detailed trysts in luxury hotels, threesomes and even a bout of olive oil wrestling, but despite Enquirer claims of Furnish’s “betrayal,” the whole affair appears to be in keeping with the couple’s open sexual relationship.

Nevertheless, before the story could hit the U.K. tabloid-sphere, John secured a court-ordered injunction barring any mention or his or Furnish’ names in English or Welsh media.

Before the Court of Appeal, lawyers for John argued that the couple had never courted publicity over their private life, and that releasing details of their sex life would be “devastating.”

Instead, English newspapers have merely attributed the story’s details to a “well known celebrity couple,” leaving thousands of Britons to journey online and solve the mystery on their own.

At times, the term “celebrity couple” could be seen trending suspiciously close to the terms “David Furnish” and “Elton John” on social media.

On Sunday, the couple’s names hit the pages of the Sunday Mail in Scotland, where newspapers are subject to a different legal system than in England or Wales.

“It is not about the stories they are trying to stop but the absurdity of trying to prevent a free press identifying them when the whole world already knows who they are,” read an accompanying editorial.

As British sources have noted, the consensual proclivities of David Furnish are generally of little interest to the mainstream British public. But the story has gained nationwide traction as a battle against a “draconian” pre-digital age law.

“Should press freedom be curtailed by the rich on the grounds that they don’t want their children to be embarrassed?” wrote blogger Paul Staines, who writes under the name “Guido Fawkes.”

Staines, who operates outside the jurisdiction of the injunction, joined the Sunday Mail in reporting the couple’s names, which as reported only as “PJS” and “YMA” in English media.

Privacy injunctions are a touchy subject in Great Britain, where they have been criticized as a tool for the rich and powerful to hide damning or even hypocritical details of their private lives.

In 2008, for instance, BBC presenter Andrew Marr obtained an injunction gagging fellow journalists from reporting on his affair with a female colleague.

In that case, Marr had obtained a “super-injunction” which, unlike the Furnish and John injunction, had barred British media from even mentioning than an injunction existed.

British reporters derided the measure as a “touch hypocritical,” and Marr later expressed embarrassment when the injunction came to light.

Should an injunction be broken by an English newspaper, they could be up on criminal contempt of court charges, which carry the possibility of jail time.

Even English or Welsh citizens who name John or Furnish on social media could be subject to prosecution.

There is one possible work-around to the law, however. If a member of the House of Commons were to mention Furnish and John’s names during a debate, they would be protected from prosecution by parliamentary privilege.

That was the case in 2011, when Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming named soccer player Ryan Giggs as having obtained an injunction to bar reporting on his alleged affair with a former Miss Wales.

“It’s absurd trying to hold back the flow of information in the digital age by using a court order that can only go as far as Hadrian’s Wall,” said Hemming, who lost his seat last, in response to the current publication ban.

Hadrian’s Wall, of course, is the island-girdling Roman-era stone wall constructed just south of the Scottish/English border.

An unnamed MP was reportedly planning to break the mystery surrounding the latest “celebrity couple”—until House of Commons speaker John Bercow announced a crackdown on any members looking to “breach the terms of any injunction/super injunction.”

In the past, celebrities have questioned the utility of an injunction since—as in the case of PJS/YMA affair—they merely serve to attract additional attention.

In 2011, Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson lifted an injunction that would have barred his ex-wife from writing about his personal life.

“Injunctions don’t work, they’re completely pointless and unbelievably expensive,” he told The Independent.

Just read the story and maybe it should be run for public health reasons.

While children are being used as a shield, I'm inclined to go with the public interest here. The potentially damaging part of the story is not that middle aged men had a threesome and paddled around in olive oil.

The Enquirer reports that British businessman Daniel Laurence claims he had three encounters with Furnish, including one that involved “risky sex”. Elton’s lawyers deny Furnish had unprotected sex with Laurence. The unprotected sex allegation is particularly damaging because Furnish helps run Elton’s AIDS Foundation.

The only time homo stuff like this should make the news is when one of the people doing homo stuff is a closeted politician or other notable public figure who does poo poo like campaigning to make homo stuff illegal.

In that case ya make it a big huge spectacle, otherwise nobody should care about any of this bullshit.
