F1 » Mosley seeking tougher media privacy laws

Lisa is right. We all need protection from a tabloid press which routinely destroys people's lives - not just the rich and famous, but ordinary people. Mosley is doing us all a service.

The News of the World spent four days in the London High Court trying to establish that Mosley had done something illegal. They failed miserably and ended up paying record damages and about 1 million pounds in costs. The judge found that it was the News of the World that had acted illegally, not Mosley.

What Mosley does as president of the FIA has nothing to do with his case against the newspaper. You may not agree with the former but all sensible people will support his stand on the latter.

Moseley deceived his wife and children. No amount of moralising can cover up his sordid betrayal of his family. he also dragged his sport through the mill by not resigning and has become a figure of fun lampooned endlessly. He must go.

richard i have written a post in reply to lisa (whoever you are calling yourself) but for some reason it has not appeared on the list of posts. I find youre comments insulting to everyone who trys to look after their children & family and protect them from evil people(do you not agree).The fact that max is for all this privacy stuff is just another indication of how people in official capacities who have gained financial status try and bend the law to their own benefit. It seems to me richard that you have a lot more to hide than max is trying to protect.

Also RICHARD we ALL will be interested in seeing who has set up the "STING" as you put it as you obviously seem to think there is a conspiracy against somenoe in F1. I think your reasoning is not really sound and a bit pretencful as it is based on fiction and not fact. It really gets me going when you start to quote things that are not factual or true in any sence please please be factual (im going to enjoy reading youre long drawn out reply that is going to based drole and about nothing else really).

typical one post after another

Observer what are you trying to hide it's like the old "I dont believe in identity cards syndrome" if you dont like the idea of the I.D. cards what have you got to hide from all of the rest of us. Some ilicit past i reckon (MP'S TOTTIES) and my opinion on this goes as far as MP'S and all the rest who object to it (WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO HIDE MP'S) if youre ok and a solid member of the comunity then you have nothing to hide

still no story ive got a copy of it? come on cra******

interesting that crash has bleeped out in the above post read(crash) cr*******

"Barry Wilkinson" is clearly very ill. He should seek treatment.

I am a member of the Libertarian party in the US. However, it doesn't serve the cause of civil liberties to promote illegal activities under the guise of "privacy". What other crimes are OK if you do them in private? People who want to advance the concepts of privacy protection should not be so obviously self-serving as Herr Mosley.

Barry may be drinking tonight, but his totalitarian view will only become more popular if it is understood that blatant criminal self-interest is what underlies laws that protect civil liberties, rather than principles of fairness, etc.
