    The wealthy have the money, so can afford to waste it on expensive lawyers. Doesn't matter what walk of life one is in.

    Society is dividing between the haves and have nots.

    So your idea is that there was nothing to hide he just did it out of his desire to help those hard up solicitors. Bless him.

    I'm glad we have the benefit of your insight Thrugelmir, otherwise we'd have all assumed he was hiding the fact that he's a sleaze and not worthy of his title.

    It would be a Triumph™ if someone could get the name of the actor who paid for a pegging from a well known prostitute.

    If I drew some money out of my Abbey account, would you tell me?

    if the guy earns millions a year what has it to do with anyone else. he's a talented person making the most for himself and his family.

    if the guy decides to go with another woman what has it got to with anyone else, apart from him, his wife and the Big Brother contestant.

    too many people love these car crash stories that get quite boring.

    True, but what I object to is rich people who think they can behave how they like and use the law to then mask their behaviour on the excuse of 'protecting their family'. I don't really care what they do, just how they use their money to try to cover it up!

    At least in this connected world they don't have a chance of keeping it quiet, so just make themselves, and the law look ridiculous! Injunctions and 'super' injunctions belong in the last century.

    I've been there. Ok, not so high-profile, but it destroys a part of you whether you're famous or not.

    So, whilst I feel for his wife and kids, you cannot seriously blame the papers / mp / whoever for this. No one forced him to take down his trousers. No one forced him to do it for, how many months? Seven, I think? There is one person to blame in this. And he is the one who thought he could cover it up with money. It's about time it was stopped. Maybe it'll make these footballers think twice about cheating!

    His name will be mud now, not because he cheated - look at Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, John Terry to name a few.... it'll be mud because he tried to cover it up! To me that says one thing - COWARD!!!
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Of course poor people behave impeccably and that is the reason why we don't see their antics spread across the newspapers.
