Max Mosley, head of F1's ruling body, caught in Nazi-themed hooker orgy

In honor of Max Mosley, I dedicate the Dictators' (I Live For) Cars and Girls.

 

I may be misunderstanding, but at least part of it's still up on this site:

Not very English at all. The key to all of this is Max's dad, Oswald, who was the leader of the British Fascist Party many years ago. Channel 4 TV in Britain did a very well-done miniseries on Oswald Mosely's life a while ago. Guy met with all of them, Hitler, Mussolini, even had his own mini-army of brownshirts to do his bidding.

Here's his wikipedia page. Apparently he was voted the worst Briton of the 20th Century in 2006.

This thread is useless without Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore.

 

Blech! I think that's what's on the video from The Ring.

 

Mosely: I'm sorry, but I'm not going to resign.

The blond guy in this movie thinks Mosley is a wimp.

 

I hate when people steal my ideas.

 

In this familial case, sterilization a couple of generations ago would have been a VERY good thing.

 

Apparently, you can make this stuff up. Mosely takes the News of the World to court, and wins.

His argument was "yes, I was having an orgy with some prostitutes, but there wasn't any nazi stuff going on."

I think the judgment against the News of the World was the correct one.

There might be possible issues raised with the right to privacy versus freedom of the press. However, I am a fundamental believer in the right to privacy. Max Mosley is a public figure but he, I believe, like anyone else is entitled to a private life.

Max Mosley was partaking in a private activity, on private premises, with consenting adults. He wasn't partaking in the encounter as Max Mosley F-1 president he was doing so as Max Mosley private citizen.

The right to privacy has to of course to be balanced against the public interest. However, I do not automatically believe that I have right to know the sexual activities of the famous. If Max Mosley was a moralizing conservative politician who had run on a family values ticket then I could see how you could justify running the story.

As it is I see it this is a case of the News of the World, a low rent publication that thrives on giving its readers cheap titillation, coming a foul of someone who had enough money to call them on their, to use a colloquialism, usual shit. The publication is nicknamed The Screws of the World for a reason.

Also, most of the people who they run stories, because these kind of intrusive stories are limited to the rich and famous, don't have the resources to sue.
