The News of the World claims that Max Mosely's victory today is gag on investigative journalism.
What guff.
They got the key point of the story wrong and then tried to claim after the fact that Mosely's job meant he was fair game.
I cannot see how Mosely choosing to pay women to beat him is of any concern to me. The judge said that his actions made him liable to blackmail, but that is only because of the hypocritical stand of papers such as the NoW. A copy of the judgement is available via this page.
This wringing of hands from Myler about being unable to challenge the rich really sticks in the craw. Perhaps he should look at the top businessman who pays virtually no tax despite earning millions in this country. That's a scandal.
If he's short of story ideas how about one of these.
One point that interests me is that the ruling suggests it's OK to be into S&M but not Holocaust-inspired bondage. Does that mean there are other atrocities which are acceptable? Perhaps an Armenian genocide-themed spanking sessions wouldn't get legal protection while a Rawanda-inspired event would? It is because of these questions that we pay good money to send people to public school so they can tell us the answers.
