I have asked a few people and without fail all knew to some extent who he was.Quote:

What was more worrying was the assumption that he runs F1 and not the FIA.
I stress that none of these people are Motorsport fans as such although I assume some might watch F1.
These are the results of an IT company in the UK. It seems that the results from academic people in your country is completely opposite.
I cannot comment on what people in other contries know but it seems that people in the UK as well as many international leading figures are aware of the facts.
Well there are obviously differences between GB and Europe, probably down to several things: Hamilton related F1 awareness and garbage press.Quote:

In my world people doesn't know him or his private life and they don't seem to be interested about it either, as no one asked me more than: Who is he?.
Correction needed: to me and most people I know! ;)Quote:

Don't know what Lewis has to do with this nonsense though?
Enemy No.1 perhaps? Anyway, if Max's exploits were not publicised Europe wide, why has the old fella got several ongoing lawsuits against the press in several European countries?Quote:

Without looking it up on Google etc, can you please answer the following for a personal project I am working on;
Please tell me what you know about Max Mosely:-
What he does, what he might be famous or infamous for, and what his parents were remembered for.
Thanks.
Stuart.
Let's see what comes back.......

So in your admittedly limited snapshot it would appear that around two-thirds of people have knowledge of Max? Sounds about right. :)
(For the avoidance of doubt this applies to the UK only and shouldn't be taken as me extrapolating that the rest of the world thinks the same way - clear?)
I know enough of the European press given that I read it every day and its been some time I gave up on UK based one, while French and German are better and cover all I need.Quote:

Sorry, I never read any of them.Quote:

If you can prove that no mainland European paper mentioned Max Mosley between the original story and the court case, then I will take my comments back, but this blatantly isn't going to happen. In any case, I can tell you that the British press wasn't full of Mosley stuff day after day, in spite of what you might erroneously think.Quote:

Let's get real.
People in France, Austria, Romania and Hungary doesn't care about who Mosley is and what Mosley did in his private life.
This is my point! And it will stand until one of you prove it isn't true, and only because it happens to be different in GB it isn't proof for nay other country in the world.
I don't have any more time to argue such obvious things.
From my POV this is case closed, as it's not converging or loooking to do so in the near future.
No, it isn't 'case closed', except to your satisfaction maybe. You seem to be suggesting that Britons were more obsessed with it than everybody else. This is, with the greatest of respect, complete nonsense and I suspect you know it. That said, in one sense this is far more of a British story than it is a French, Austrian, Romanian or Hungarian one, because after all Mosley is British, it happened in Britain and he comes from a decidedly infamous British family.Quote:

I'm going to settle this once and for all.
Max was set-up by the Anglo-Mafia! :mad: :rolleyes: :crazy: :laugh: :erm:
PS: If you just look at them than you might have time to see 86400 of them in 24 hours.Quote:

Seriously, this discussion is starting to get boring even though it's also becoming funnier by the minute!

All one has to go is look at the benire christmas card to see the subliminal message about how bernie really felt (and after all, he did do a lot of chatting about how maX needed to go, in comparsion to others----INDEED, Bernie would not be on the Sensible Seven list, but then I was with the SS till I started paying attention to MaX's sworn trial testimony...))
Actually, I think Nellie the Elephants' second cousins' pet cats' owner Raul set Max up.
But that's just speculation you understand....
Man this is sickening. So many people backing Max. This just makes me sad.
Listen, Max decision to engage in something that is clearly extremely controversial in this day and age isn't necessarily the problem. The fact that he got caught is.
We see it everywhere today. As the head of a very public organization you have to demonstrate the ability to make good decisions. Max clearly didn't because he put himself in the situation.
Recently the head of a very prominent bank has been called out for his $1.2M upgrades to his office. Rightfully so. He should be called to answer for making decision not inline with the current times. The fact that he spent $1.2M on his office really mean nothing. The fact that he did it in these trying financial times means everything. And he will be held accountable in some form.
Max is trying to hold other people accountable for his disgusting action (which isn't the sex). Because in this day and age re-enacting Nazi Gestapo officers is just down right disgusting and disrespectful to millions of people. He needs to be held accountable for his actions. Not the whistle blowers. If he hadn't been caught with his hand in the cookie jar it wouldn't be an issue. But he did, and he needs to be held accountable and removed from his position. After that I could care less about what he does.
You clearly didn't follow the story that closely, then, because he denied that he knew there was anything Nazi-related about the scene being enacted. The court seemed to believe him.Quote:

or so he said,
now some of the Sensible Seven (strange choice of names..) might wonder just how did he speak with such a voice of reasonand knowledge, well now...
Actually people should careful read his trial testimony, especailly the whole two lines about how it was upsetting to his family (well something like "upsetting") while he goes on and on and on about his hobby and the joy that inflicting pain on others brings to him....
Are there such photos?Quote:

Where there's smoke, there's a high probability of being fire.
I was not under the impression that Mosley ever dressed up in a Nazi uniform as part of the 'role-play'. The women were said to have, of course. And I find your comparison of my querying your comments with holocaust denial really quite offensive, and utterly unnecessary.Quote:

I'm sorry you take offense to it, but it is true that some would like us to believe the holocaust never happened. My point being that there are people that would like to deny well documented travesties. I think that's your issue not mine.
P.s. I'm not attacking "germans" (if that's what the flag under your name indicates). I'm german myself.
