The notion of an injunction sounds ridiculous and as if invented to garner attention to try to suggest the book will be worth reading because it is so groundbreaking an injunction had been declared. 

I don't wonder whether it will ever be published because of some alleged injunction I wonder about lack of interest or the finished product being poor.

It does sound ridiculous.

The comment "media blanket ban" is the campaign team saying they aren't releasing information to the media.

There is no injunction, not sure where that has come from? But the article stated that the book will be released next August. It will be 30 years since the murders and I assume that's why the date was chosen.
If that is true then why was THIS August first chosen?

Because he didn't know how many times the launch date would be changed? I can't see anything sinister in it. Stuff happens. We're not always in control.

An injunction was only one thought that someone here during this discussion. If you trace back you will see that that was only the reason it was brought up. It was nothing that anybody concerning the book had suggested.
I think PH said in his pm to Jackie that the authorities were trying to stop him publishing the book. But that came from himself not from anyone here or any demented supporter or even the campaign team. So let's nip that one in the but before some over zealous guilter starts accusing anyone again and forms a lynch mob.

April I was answering Caroline's post who said that it was going to be published next August because that would be the 30th anniversary of Bamber's conviction. I replied that if that was so, then why was the intended date of publication THIS August past? Personally I just think he's stalling and if he's not careful as scipio said people will just lose interest altogether?

Quite honestly Grahame, I don't know ANYONE here who DOES think there is one although I've seen the word bandied around this afternoon. However, when it was stated that there WAS NO INJUNCTION, Neil asked "How do you know that" which can only say one of two things A. From where and whom did you get that information or B. You don't know everything.

I don't think there would be an injuction , because to do that you would need to know specifically what is in the book and presumably that is not known.

As only his publisher and solicitor are privy to that knowledge, it's highly unlikely, Jan.

How do you know?

Because the article states that the book is coming out next August, it mentions nothing about an injunction and I imagine the reason next August was considered is because it's the 30 year Anniversary.

I have no idea but probably it needed 'some' rewriting then further reviewing to include whatever it is he found out.

I'd go with that - if things keep getting leaked, I guess that doesn't help with submissions.

However, when it was stated that there WAS NO INJUNCTION, Neil asked "How do you know that" which can only say one of two things A. From where and whom did you get that information or B. You don't know everything.
Neil was quite correct in what he said. We, in fact nobody would know if there was an  injunction even if there was one. His question was quite a legitimate one and also a legal one, because if an injunction was taken out on this book then it would be illegal to even mention the fact.
I don't think that Neil actually believes there is one? The only dramatic language used in connection with the publication of this book is that which has been put about by Harrison himself. First we have that dramatic pm to Jackie where he complains that the authorities have been hounding him trying to stop publication, then we get his dramatic claim that he had received a death threat against him if he did go ahead and publish it. In fact all these alleged people who have been threatening him have come from him and him alone. The actual people to have suffered persecution are those whom he has implicated causing these people to be accused by some on here with absolutely no proof whatsoever and all this upset and unjustified persecution of these individuals on here has come from this man alone. Personally I think it is all just hype on his part?

OK, fine - believe what you like but there is nothing to even suggest there is any kind of injunction. If you don't know what's in the book, you can't really talk about it so what would be the point of an injunction. I think if there was one, he'd have said so in the article.

Caroline I have said myself that I do not believe that there is not an injunction. But you cannot deny the fact that all this has originated from Harrison himself. He is the person of interest here, nobody else.
