The dungeongate / prostitutegate / spankygate / butdefinatelynotnazigate affair has made him a household name.

Why do British people believe that the rest of the world is like on their Island?!
When it obviously isn't.

That's because the GB media is hitting lower levels every day. Obviously this isn't the case in most other countries.

Easy now , while that might be true , it is still where a lot of the teams are based .
That might have something to do with it as well .

We have our share of trashy journalism over here as well , though . It just tends to be about Hollywood , rather than Max and Coronation Street .

;) Ahh.. once again Ioan shows his ignorance.

:dozey: Most major news organizations are Inter-National...
having offices on site in various capitals.

A good example would be Rupert Murdoch's empire that's scattered around the World owning properties in:

Film
Television
Cable
Magazines
Newspapers
Publishing

All inter-related and sharing Headlines and information.

The World has been shrinking for years... making it harder to keep scandals isolated.

In fact, NOTW... which broke the Maxspankgate escapade, is just one of Murdoch's newspapers.

:rolleyes: Ioan just doesn't seem to have a clue !!!

Ioan ,the British DO NOT think that the rest of the world is on their Island,BUT most of the F1 teams are based here, as is the subject that the thread is about.I also have an idea who Max thinks is behind it coming out.But dont have skeletons in cupboards !

You must be in a minority of one, though I'm not surprised that you probably find watching/listening to comedy beneath you and a waste of time that could be devoted to some higher pursuit.

Pray inform us of your detailed knowledge of the British media and its development over the past decade.

How did Max know it was me?

On a more serious note, I'm utterly bored of all this SpankGate. Unless you have absolute proof Max, i would would shut up and stop reminding everyone about your personal preferences.

The person I feel most sorry for is Mrs Mosely.

I understand your opinion, but do you not think that there is actually quite an important point to be made about the privacy of those with what Max terms as 'unconventional' preferences in their private lives, or who simply wish to keep certain things, such as their sexuality, out of the public eye? I agree that having Max Mosley attempt to set himself up as a crusader for the human right to privacy is very hard to take, but the worst excesses — hardly any of which, such as phone-tapping, obtaining personal details from crooked sources in the police and other authorities, etc, he hasn't mentioned as part of his 'crusade' — should be curbed.

:D Good point.

"Molsey knows who set him up" seems to be nothing but a Red Herring !!!

Max is attempting to divert attention (look @ the shiny object)

from...

What he was caught "DOING",

to

hoping people will focus on... "Who trapped him" !!!

:dozey: If Max wasn't planning to try for another term in office... it would probably have been in his best interest to have let the whole thing die.
