Extraordinary !
Privacy Law by stealth ?. This was a complete invasion of his private life where he was doing something entirely legal and certainly not within the public's interest.
( although I do admit I got a wonderful thrill about it and I simply love the way the English are fond of very saucy slap and tickle)
I admired the way Mosley was very upfront in going to court-full marks to him. Taking a hidden camera into a person's private abode to covertly film them doing something legal is just NOT ON !
Yes..and how about journalists allow us into their private homes and film their shenanigans ?..or politicians for that matter.
Mosley should be applauded for (1) being brave enough to go to court and (2) showing us that true eccentrics are still around.

in what way?
if I remember rightly, they had a news bit in the main paper and a more reflective bit in the G2 section or comment.
surely the screaming headlines in the Mail etc were more offensive? |

Funnily enough it was the Guardian coverage that most incensed me. |

as far as I remember (it was only yesterday lol) the Guardian was pretty good on this, and I listened to Any Questions last night and most of the panel were 100% behind the judgement.
It was a very good judgement.
However, shouldn't we be told about the sexual habits and fetishes of News of The World journalists? isn't that in the "public interest", as they flog millions of copies of their rag to the public every week? |

Not one person, commentator, TV or radio show, news outlet... has dared put across the OTHER side; that this is a GOOD judgment.
Only call-in members of the public.
Otherwise everyone, from liberals to fascists, has roundly condemned this "privacy law brought in by stealth".
I discovered, in the coverage of my situation, that there is an unspoken, universal attitude that must be taken, especially in matters concerning "the freedom of the press".
Yet curbing invasion into private lives for the sole purpose of GREED (called "public interest") is never approved.
Interesting. |
