I'm not sure about the current status of the super injunction which we've probably already broken simply by talking about super injunctions in the same page as the inscrutible and wholesome Mr B.

Efforts were made to try and quell the tabloid press from reporting on this in order to save embaressment. Irony would have been duly noted if John Profumo had subsequently taken up a stage career and performed in the part of a doctor based at a lido.
