Mosley 'knows' who set him up

Perhaps, although the FIA President has made very clear his determination to fundamentally transform privacy laws in the UK.

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.

I had a joint only last week - I couldn't get the leg of lamb to catch fire, let alone fit it into a Rizla......

I stand corrected! Publicity for the common good is what I have suggested he is doing in my first post.
The latter response was to a comment I construed as being publicity for his personal gain, or vindication.

Lack of serious responses suggests to me that people know deep down I'm correct in my analysis of this.

Perhaps, but if Max is not ashamed of his actions, why the need for secrecy? Why the need to conceal his activities from his wife & family for more than 40yrs?

The BBC report says "The News of the World had taken his "dignity" and hurt his family. Surely if he's not ashamed of his behaviour there is no reason why that should be the case?

The bottom (sorry!) line is, as said by a friend of mine who has little interest in or knowledge of all of this, is that Max was caught. That's all. That's what he's griping about.

Blaming anyone and everyone for the circumstances he finds himself in is rather similar to blaming F1 teams for the money they spend, when FIA rule changes are one of the reasons for the rise in expenditure.

Why the need for secrecy?

Because its his private life, he has a right to keep it secret if its fully legal and he chooses to keep it quiet.

Are you saying that if your not ashamed of it, you should declare it public, and if tabloids choose it worthy, they should be allowed to publish it for their headlines?

Why did he conceal it against his wife? Because he was breaking a promise he made to her when they married. Thats why. Is it wrong? Depends, personally I'd say yes, but I'm objective enough to understand you should not sack someone for their moral judgements on a matter unrelated to their work.
