AND there is no way Max is pursuing a noble cause. Everyone knows he's only trying to drag F1 down :down: :dozey:

Why don't the McCann's just drop off the face of the earth they won their ruling. Oh yea' they lost a daughter, and then got dragged through hell by the tabloid press! :(

"Formula one boss Max Mosley and the father of Madeleine McCann are to give evidence to MPs in Westminster today.

The unlikely pairing will be questioned for the culture, media and sport committee's ongoing inquiry into press standards, privacy and libel inquiry.


Mr Mosley said in July 2008 "some newspapers literally ruin people's lives", adding that "more has to be done to stop this".

And Mr McCann and his wife were themselves the subject of unjustified claims about their alleged role in the disappearance, resulting in Express Newspapers paying them £550,000 over a libel case which ended in March 2008

It is also interested in "the interaction between the operation and effect of UK libel laws and press reporting" and "whether, in the light of recent court rulings, the balance between press freedom and personal privacy is the right one".

Hurry, 2009 season, hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm bored s***less by the ramblings here!

I had an opinion about Max's exploits, but I have forgotten it pages ago!!

Amen, wmcot.

It's time to draw a line under Spygate, Spankygate, Cranegate, Canadianpitlanegate, Ferraritrafficlightgate, Glocklastlapconspiracytheorygate and all the other unpleasantness of the last couple of years.

Soon we'll have plenty of new scandals to keep us at each others' throats! :p

It seems strange that someone like Max who admits that his family are appalled at his actions and that everyone considers him a figure of fun should do these things in the first place.

I don't know about you but I would never partake in activities that my family would be disgusted at.

Perhaps he should look in the Mirror a bit rather than trying to pin his shame on everyone else.

I do have sympathy that he wasn't breaking the law and was supposed to be behind closed doors but the fact remains, if it was so shamefull, considering he was a man in the public limelight, why take the risk? Perhaps that was part of the humiliation thrill for him and he's still playing it out?

What would be nice is to let this go now and for Max to stop publicising it.

Implying that this hearing Max participated in was for publicity is quite absurd.

Me neither, and dare I say majority wouldn't partake in activities which cause hurt to their families.

But he choose to, it was his moral judgement. You shouldn't punish someone for different moral judgement if it isn't against the law.

And to be fair, I think a large part of the publicity around it is from Max taking a lead in trying to stop tabloid papers from wrecking peoples lives by betraying their right to a private life, private sex life included.

I look at it this way, say for example the NOTW published a sex tape of say Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie having sex, its not illegal, nothing wrong, people would have an outcry about how it was against their right to privacy etc.

And rightly so, but when it happens to Max, people say he deserves it, he should have taken more care etc etc etc. Just looking for a way around to justify his invasion of privacy. When at end of the day it comes down to fact that we disapprove of what he has done. Its not socially accepted, and therefore its ok to invade his privacy.

And if we go down that word, trial by moral standards, its a slippery road downhill for society as a whole unfortunately.

I don't know if Brad and AJ are a couple or whatever. Don't follow the tabloids.

However, if one of these snotty little rags had of published some revealing photo's of their sex life, I doubt anyone would bat an eyelid, let alone it being a huge embarrassment to their family.

So, what you are saying is right. We judge Max by our morals to a degree and that's why he's so ashamed.

Human nature I'm afraid and something that's been going on since the dawn of time. In my day it was gossip, now it's libel and an invasion of privacy ;)

I can't say I'm a big follower of celeb land, but I know the basics through flatmates leaving their magazines laying around etc.

And I think you doubt wrong. People would bat an eyelid. Magazines etc would pay a fortune to get hold of it. And no doubt it would make tabloid headlines.

Look at the success of Paris Hiltons sex tape.

And as he says in his video, he isn't ashamed of his actions. Personally I would feel differently, but you cannot judge someone on what you would do. That would be wrong.

In your day its gossip, but if that gossip puts you in a position where you could lose your job, and that the gossip happened in private and you did not want to exposed, and took appropriate action to keep it quiet, I think its fair to say its a definate invasion of privacy.

Just because its been going on since the dawn of time doesn't make it acceptable mate.

In afghanistan its common practice to stone women who cheat on their husbands etc, its been going on since the dawn of time. They get stoned (literally I'm refering to), because that culture accepts it, its ok to judge and physically harm someone for this. Thats the kind of route judging someone via morals and society norm can take.

I'm not saying we're witnessing something to that extreme, but the same principles on lesser extent, where majority seem to be happy for Max to be sacked for doing something against societies norm.

I can honestly say I find it increasingly worrying how people are happy for Max to lose his job over this. I find it appalling, more appalling than a man cheating on his wife tbh.
