In the unlikely event that you haven’t already heard this, con­sid­er­ing the *crosses self* blo­gos­phere and Twit­ter are on fire with it:

The Guardian news­pa­per has been blocked from report­ing on a ques­tion being put to the House of Com­mons tomor­row, by Lon­don solic­i­tors Carter-Ruck rep­re­sent­ing their client Trafigura. This explic­itly goes against the long-established right of the media to report on the House of Com­mons, and thus on our right to know what our elected rep­re­sen­ta­tives are doing on our behalf. It is a wor­ry­ingly suc­cess­ful attack on the free­dom of the press, and nat­u­rally the inter­net has taken it upon itself to get the word out, at the expense of Carter-Ruck’s rep­u­ta­tion if nec­es­sary. (Trafigura’s rep­u­ta­tion is prob­a­bly dead already.)

The ques­tion that the Guardian is for­bid­den from report­ing on is believed to be “ques­tion for writ­ten answer” num­ber 61 on this list. The Minton Report referred to in this ques­tion can be found here, on Wik­ileaks.
