Privacy order in Employment Tribunal

The link is to a Daily Mail story that has a privacy order as part of an Employment Tribunal.

A celebrity chef won a privacy order yesterday granting him anonymity over claims he mistreated two employees whom he later sacked at his business empire.

The ruling means that he cannot be named at an employment tribunal later this year brought by the female and male members of his staff.


I will be looking for the judgment for this. Superficially this looks wrong.

Indeed, this looks wrong, John.

Once again: a privacy order is used to hide unethical behaviour to paint a good image.

Mainstream Media still seem to think that gagging orders are ok. They don't realise that they are used not only to cover unethical behaviour such as unfair dismissal or an affair outside marriage but also CRIMINAL activities by public authorities!

John, I have heard on the Grape vine that an MP has applied for a Super injunction and that Sir George Young will be investigating the matter, is there any truth in this

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
