Guardian Gagging Order Defeated!

Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger confirms law firm Carter-Ruck have backed down on their gagging order against the paper:

arusbridger Thanks to Twitter/all tweeters for fantastic support over past 16 hours! Great victory for free speech. #guardian #trafigura #carterRuck

It’s a monumetal victory for the Twitterverse and free speech. Now join me on Thursday outside Carter-Ruck’s offices:

To protest against the Guardian Gag, ordered by Carter-Ruck, blocking reporting of the goings on of our OWN PARLIAMENT (and for no other reason than the protection of corrupt private enterprise) we are going to GAG THEM

Silent flashmob, come stand silently out side the offices of Carter-Ruck (map below), gagged with a piece of black fabric.

We won’t be breaking the law, they, and the people they represent are.

Nearest Tubes: Chancery Lane, Faringdon.

Well done everyone on Twitter. Together we undid the best efforts of an unscrupulous law firm and their industrial polluter client.
