Mosley 3

What about him and his militaristic although possibly not Nazi orgy with prostitutes?

First off, let's not call it an orgy when all participants except one are being paid for their services

Secondly, his counsel and he claim that his activities were not "sick". If he believes that, why did he keep it secret from his wife?

I think we need to be clear about motives here. It seems to me that the main objective of the News of the World was its usual agenda - to provide titillation under the guise of moral outrage.
Interestingly, I didn't mention the News of the World. Does this indicate a blind spot, i.e. that I have accepted the facts as presented? (Or is it because I'd rather discuss the concepts?)

The political "public interest" motive is secondary, which is why virtually all of the coverage went on about spanking and included photos of the female participants with pixilated faces.
You criticise the News of the Screws for being titillating but then mention spanking females and pixellated faces.
What is it that's so sexy about pixellation? (That's a genuine question. I think it's hot.)

Another approach would have been to try to uncover evidence of Mosley's involvement in fascist organisations or associations with people on the far right. Or examples of racism in his day to day interactions.
That'd be intriguing, if he was racist day-to-day. I wonder if this question was asked in the trial? Not having looked at the pixellated ladies, I don't know if any of them were Jewish, black, gypsies or any other group oppressed by the Nazis. I believe the Nazis also sent homosexuals and the disabled to their camps.
There could be a relationship between a person's daily life and the sexual scenarios that they construct. Some sequences of events that I guess may be typical:

• A man is rejected by a blonde woman. The next evening he hires a blonde prostitute.
• A second man sees the blonde woman, finds her attractive, but says nothing to her. The next evening he hires the same blonde prostitute as the first man.
• A third man seduces the blonde woman, having met her in a bar. The next evening he hires the blonde prostitute to urinate on him.

Which if these men do you admire, despise or pity and why?

Obliquely, perhaps Mosley is guilty of no more than having earned enough money to turn his fantasies into reality.

It is a bit much to expect Mosley to be anything other than a fuck up. He is the son of one of the most famous UK fascists and was active in his father's Union Movement from an early age.
Are you saying:
A) That racism is inherited (itself an argument for eugenics), or
B) That facists don't love their children?

One thing which seems to be completely absent from the recent coverage is information on his current political views.
How a person votes is, of course, confidential. Thank god we live in a free country.

If we ignore all this for a second there are lots of people who enjoy s&m scenarios and there are lots of people who pay for sexual gratification. Personally miltaristic scenarios don't do it for me and find them distasteful but I'm not sure I would describe them as "sick".
But if enjoyed s&m wouldn't you have told your partner at some point? Then again, Mosley may have been saying what he said that to keep his wife out of it. For all we know, she may have been just as bad.
How would you feel about a scenario with a disturbed schizophrenic?

I think most people would not tell their partners that they were engaged in sexual activity with prostitutes, or indeed with anyone else.
What if their partner happened to say that they considered it quite alright to visit a prostitute? Would they then reveal it?

So I think my conclusion is that Mosley is clearly objectionable, but not nearly as objectionable as the News of the World.
I'm not buying product from either of them, so far as I know. (Well, I pay a TV license fee and a cable TV subscription so I'm probably contributing some money to F1 as a sport.)
Have the Screws lost circulation as a result of losing the case? Outraged of Aldershot writes "Dear Sir, Imagine my disappointment at discovering that a recent piece of investigative journalism was in fact an invasion of privacy. Although all other articles in your esteemed organ are investigative, and not invasive, I now feel too ashamed to purchase future numbers of the News and shall instead be giving my custom to the People."
