The Guardian is gagged

October 13, 2009 3:02 AM

"The Guardian has been prevented from reporting parliamentary proceedings on legal grounds which appear to call into question privileges guaranteeing free speech established under the 1688 Bill of Rights.(...) Today's published Commons order papers contain a question to be answered by a minister later this week. The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who has asked the question, what the question is, which minister might answer it, or where the question is to be found." Meanwhile Twitter is doing the whistle blowing and the trending topic #trafigura is rather popular.
