Max Mosley: Journalists who breach privacy deserve jail

15 June 2009

Max Mosley uses a BBC1 Panorama documentary tonight to call for prison sentences for journalists who seriously breach people's privacy.

The motorsport boss attracted international notoriety when the News of the World published footage of him in an S&M orgy with prostitutes last year.

Watching the recent screeching mobs outside a court in the recent childcare centre case I was alarmed how the media and especially the police had blatantly disregarded the rights (and the law) of possible victims by identifying the centre where alleged abuse had taken place with the media even interviewing and identifyng parents. These parents took it upon themselves to join in the throng and basically gave no thought to the impact it may have in the future on their own children, should alegations be proven.

Until a gutless government pulls into line a rampant media that repeatedly breaks all the rules and often the law-they remain a thugish and lawless entity that thrives on crime and others misery.
