The FIA boss Max Mosley has won his privacy court case against the News of the World. I honestly thought that the world had long since accepted that what happens behind closed doors between consenting adults is their own business. Apparently not so in England’s gutter press. If a lurid article was printed accusing someone of “sick filth” for being gay, there would quite rightly be an outcry. Parliamentary questions, new hate crime laws and probably the sacking of the editor involved.
So why then did the News of the World see fit to print a hate article about Mosley’s sexuality? If he wants women to hit him then that’s his business - not the state’s, not the News of the World’s, not anyone’s. It’s about time that nobody faced hate and discrimination simply because of their sexual preferences.
