  • Mosley wins privacy case

    Jul 24, 2008 11:47 AM

    Motorsport boss Max Mosley has won his legal action against the News of the World, which had claimed that he took part in a Nazi-style orgy with prostitutes.
    Mosley, the son of 1930s Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley, had claimed invasion of privacy against the Sunday paper, and was demanding punitive exemplary damages. He admitted to a sadomasochistic sex session in a London flat, but denied any Nazi connotations.
    High Court judge Mr Justice Eady ruled that the News of the World did breach...Read the full article

    Quite right so; this was a despicable violation of privacy. Pitty he did not win exemplary damages as well.

    He's a disgrace for having sex with consenting adults? and the invasion of privacy has been ruled in favour?

    Well done for taking it to them and having to live through the sh!t being dealt all the while this has been going on.

    Caeser ruled with an iron hand, then with a wooden foot and finally with a piece of string.

    Exactly right. A total immoral, arrogant waste of space. F1 needs sorting anyway and I suspect he'll be gone at the end of his term next year.

     Yes, he is a disgrace.  Married for 48 years and messing around with prostitutes.  A disgrace for that.

     Also I can't see how he can carry on in his role.  Already the King of Spain, Crown Prince of Monaco and the Barhain Royal family wanted nothing to do with him.  Not sure who's going to want to be pictured shaking his hand now?

    "Let ye who is without sin cast forth the first stone " (or something like that.)

    Mosely may be rich, powerful or whatever. The point is that the tabloid press could do this to any of us at any time. Destroying people's lives when they have done nothing legally wrong on the feeble justification of ' public interest' is simply wrong.  

    The Red Tops are not the guardians of the public interest; they are commerical organisations that aim to make a profit out of humiliating people. That is what sells newpapers. 

    I would welcome the the day if and  when Rupert Murdoch  receives a dose of his own formula for  commerical success !

    Mike - there are no winners here. The NoTW is out of order and Mosley is too. A sordid little tale.

    Mike is right and now I must confess.

    My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanise, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrote, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

    I deserve to be treated with respect and dignity though.
