On the Ropes - Andy Kershaw 1:41pm on 28 Apr 2009 I note the Grauniad's report, just posted. My (overseas) edition of The Times has a full centre spread about A Kershaw, referring to the proposed braodcast. Was this pulled from later editions of The Times? And I repeat my earlier comment that sometimes an injunction banning a broadcast will also ban the broadcaster from mentioning the injunction as the reason for the ban (because if 'a court order' or 'legal reasons' is given as the reason for the ban, the identity of the person seeking to stop the broadcast will usually be obvious - although the lack of reason often leads, as presumably here, to guesses as to the identity). I am being kind to Radio 4 here and assuming that is the reason for the lack of reason. I hope I am right and that it was not discourtesy or general disorganisation.
On the Ropes - Andy Kershaw 10:06am on 28 Apr 2009 One imagines that the broadcast was pulled because of an injunction by one or more of those possibly affected - and those persons may even have objected to that reason (or even just 'legal reasons') being given for the removal. The law is most annoying at times but we are stuck with it. I remember being surprised, when I first saw the schedule, that it was included - I am not wholly surprised that it has been removed with no reason given.
