In a possibly-unprecedented event in Christian history, the Anglican Church or at least a former Archbishop, has sided with the News of the World on something...

Better to be naively optimistic than a hopeless cynic

Apparently being banned from shoving a camera down someone’s cleavage “would damage investigative journalism” (NotW) and “the court case ruined my marriage” (Mosley)…

That’s actually quite funny. Just highlights how stupid both parties are. Thanks for updating us on the Radio 4 show. I kinda regret saying that I thought it would all be over now, especialy as the media interest in Mosley has risen recently and that he’s now suing the News of the World. Perhaps I was being naively optimistic!

The audience seems to have decided that Max Mosley was entrapped and that his public words and private actions were not sufficiently in conflict to warrant such entrapment. But then the subject of what anything Max might have said or done before the NotW case never arose and only five people in the audience admitted to reading the story (and even then reluctantly…)

They’ve just got to the Mosley segment of it, and basically Max and the NotW have been declared a pair of hypocrites for their respective post-verdict quotes. Apparently being banned from shoving a camera down someone’s cleavage “would damage investigative journalism” (NotW) and “the court case ruined my marriage” (Mosley)…

The saga isn’t over – BBC Radio 4 are doing a special on him, the News of the World and the future of journalism on Any Questions? this afternoon. This includes a phone-in session at the end called Any Answers? Not a programme that is likely to cover any of those involved in glory, given the circumstances…

“Of course, this now pretty much puts an end to the saga that has dragged on for a few months now, and while Mosley has been embarrassed and caused embarrassment, he can now go about re-focusing his efforts on his job.”

Really like this last bit, although now Mosley has gone and stuffed it up. He’s so embarrassed that he wants to keep on suing everyone and everything.

£60,000 is but a drop in the ocean for the NOTW
Imagine a campaign to unseat a dictator costing only £60,000???
(Bernie did try it for £1mill
Imagine the increased circulation and revenue!!

Max has won the case but definitely lost face,
he can no longer represent the organisation he is elected to
and the world of F1 bides it’s time waiting for his successor.

Well said Pat – people fail to see that the ladies involved are demonised when they thrmselves are victims of the system

Everyone is reading about this case today because it involves a public figure who sued, but I’d like to make the point that ordinary sex workers, who are not in the public eye, are being exposed by the media all the time in the name of sensational sex stories. Tabloid newspapers especially frequently run articles exposing ordinary “working girls”, despite the fact it is not against the law to work as an escort and thus these ladies have committed no crime. The lives of many sex workers in the UK and Ireland have been ruined by this type of journalism. Last month, in Ireland, a TV show exposed two separate independent escorts on national TV for apparently no reason other than salacious TV. I don’t know if today’s verdict will discourage this type of journalism but I hope it will.

Just like I have been telling everyone that the scandal would not change anything, he is still president of FIA. Now he has won a privacy law suite.it is all good for Mosley.

I don’t think that puts an end to it, because the question still remains, who set it up?
