I don’t think bloggers have an essential entitlement to anonymity, and there are cases where there is a public interest in naming. I don’t think it’s true of Nightjack, though: blowing his cover probably exposes more case detail than his anonymous posting did, which kind of blasts the Times’ argument.

Not at all surprising, given the direction in which the law has wandered over the last 10 years, but… still quite staggering when you think about the contradiction.

Perhaps we should call for a public inquiry into this strange state of affairs. ‘Public inquiry’ of course being shorthand for ‘pantomime of action behind closed doors, led by someone handpicked by the powers that be, to reach a useful conclusion’. It’d be strangely fitting.
