It appears that calling someone a ‘skank’ in a blog can be costly. In a precedent-setting court case, a Manhattan judge recently forced Google to provide the identity of an anonymous blogger who had trashed former Canadian supermodel Liskula Cohen on the website ‘Skanks in NYC’ by being rather rude about her. I wont repeat the libel.A case of Fendi handbags at ten paces, methinks.The moral of this story? Nothing but nothing’s private in cyberspace. In other, less skanky news… The Institute of Chartered Accountants last week declared that recession in Britain is ‘at an end’. The ICA’s Index of Business Confidence posted the biggest rise for two years, peaking at 4.8 by the end of June – up from -28.2 in March. Additionally, the Institute predicts that the UK will grow by 0.5 per cent during the current quarter.So are the squints right? Is the recession on its way out?
