Max Mosley White Russian! Shurely Shome Mishtake?

Chilling Effects. When you fix your search facility, I might fix this post.

 My comment is in the graphic, and reflects entirely what Mosley is all about. A law requiring a prior-notification requirement for ''sensitive'' articles that are to appear in the press.

Thus enabling those that can afford the exorbitant fees, to instruct firms of parasitical scumbag shysters, to issue a writ against the offending member of the fourth, crumbling, council estate.

Max Mosley; enemy of the common man.

And I am by no means moralising regarding Mosley's sexual peccadilloes, I'm only surprised that he had to pay for it all, I would have thought there were plenty who would have jumped at the opportunity to beat the shit out of him, free gratis n'all.

Mosley to fight on for prior-notification requirement
28 September 2011

Max Mosley will continue to push for changes to privacy laws after failing to have his case against News of the World and the UK heard by the grand chamber of the European Court of Human Rights.
Mosley’s lawyer, Tim Lowles, told Solicitors Journal the former F1 boss was among the core participants invited inform the Leveson inquiry set up after the phone hacking scandal and that he would argue further for the introduction of a pre-notification requirement in privacy cases.
“The landscape has changed since the hacking stories earlier this year and the government now has to take a position on privacy,” Lowles said.
Asked if a new culture of respect within the media would be sufficient to protect privacy rights, Lowles replied: “Any law or regulation that revolves around privacy can only work if there is a requirement of prior notification. Otherwise it’s up to the editor. And once the information is out there, there’s no way of bringing it back into the private sphere - prior notification is the only way.”


Rod Dadak, head of media at Lewis Silkin, said that although Mosley had lost the ECtHR battle he had won the war “as his case more than any other put privacy and the press on the map”.
Dadak said Mosley’s attempt to persuade the grand chamber to make it compulsory for prior notification by journalists of stories potentially breaching privacy was bound to fail.
“Nevertheless”, Dadak continued, “in putting the spotlight on the media, and with a welcome boost from the phone hacking scandal, he has been hugely successful in his overall campaign. The balancing exercise is no longer a one way trip down the road of freedom of expression.”
In a ruling on 10 May, the human rights court found that NOTW’s conduct was “open to severe criticism” and that financial damages were not a suitable remedy once private material had been put in the public domain.
But, the Strasbourg judges said, the human rights convention did not require governments to provide for a pre-notification requirement to secure the privacy rights enshrined in article 8.
In a letter dated 16 September, the court said the grand chamber would not consider Mosley’s appeal and that the May ruling would stand.
The decision puts an end to the case the former
F1 boss brought against the News of The World for running a story alleging he had been involved in a “sick Nazi orgy with five hookers”.
The Mr Justice Eady ruled in July the same year that Mosley’s privacy rights had been breached. The judge made an award for £60,000 – together with a £420,000 costs order – but said “an infringement of privacy cannot ever be effectively compensated by a monetary award”. solicitorsjournal

From the comments:

. . . . The rulings comes as a bellwether for Europe’s concept of a “right to be forgotten,” and have implications for speech and internet freedoms. . . .

. . . . I’ve argued in the past that a “right to be forgotten” is only likely to benefit wealthy or influential people, who shouldn’t be able to destroy search results any more than they can fine bookstores for selling books that displease them. more

Mad Max's F1 Meglamania

For those of you that do not follow F1, this reflects my feelings about the FIA's (Max Mosley's) constant assault on the manufacturers technological advancement of their cars.

The FIA's basic philosophy, if it works, ban it.

European Court Rules Against Mosely

Update: Max Mosley; enemy of the common man.


The European Court of Human Rights ruled yesterday against Max Mosely's attempt to gag the press. The fundamental component in this little saga by the way, is people chucking their weight about and it is that which is the genesis of this tale.

When Martin Brundle, then ITV's commentator for Formula One, wrote an article for the Times questioning the style of Mosely's autocratic rule of F1 and his far from subtle jihad against all things McLaren, Mosely, as is the wont of megalomaniacs, took umbrage and issued a writ against Brundle and the offending newspaper, The Times. Brundle responds.
(Link dead)
Before I say more about the wisdom of Mosley issuing a writ against News Corp, proprietor Rupert, the dirty digger, Murdoch, and the subsequent outcome, let me offer this newly discovered piece where the writer shows a canny degree of insight.

Taken from the comments of a motor sports forum, and it is the last paragraph that we need to pay particular attention to.

There's another point which hasn't been touched on yet.

The Sunday Times is part of a large media empire - News Corp - owned by Rupert Murdoch.

In the UK, News Corp has a serious level of clout. Outspoken support of various parties and criticism of others by its papers has previously influenced election results. Its papers also helped increase public opinion for the war in Iraq in the UK by dripfeeding stories about Saddam's atrocities and WMD through both its down and upmarket newspapers.

The closest analogy I can think of elsewhere is Ferrari deciding to sue a Berlusconi owned newspaper or TV channel in Italy. Whether or not the FIA has a strong case is irrelevant, its taking on a very powerful organisation owned by someone with considerably more global clout than Max who also has a serious inability to deal with people who have differing views from him.

After the FIA announced it was suing the Sunday Times, the paper let Brundle write two more articles that, if anything, are even more critical of the FIA and also published another article written by a different journalist that was equally scathing. Its safe to say they aren't being intimidated by the FIA unlike ITV.

What will be interesting is whether News Corp decides to have a close look at the FIA and Max Mosely himself to see what skeletons there are hidden in his cupboards. News Corp practically destroyed the Conservative party in the UK a decade ago by releasing stories about corruption and sleaze within the party. If Max didn't like Jackie Stewarts comments about him then Rupert Murdoch has the ability to make him feel like a brain tumour is a birthday present. Lets hope for Max's sake he hasn't made dodgy deals in the past or had affairs he doesn't want people to know about. source

Skeletons in cupboards indeed, and of those Mad Max had his share, and a few months later they were going to come out of the closet, all singing, all dancing on the front page of the News of the World; proprietor, you've guessed it, the dirty digger himself.

Rather than re-hashing stuff, for there is much I want to post today, let me send you to a post that I wrote at the time under he heading, Christmas Comes Early For Ron And Martin.

Nothing became of Mosely's suite against News Corp by the way, it just faded away. Pitpass suite dropped

For an insight to Mosely's character and how it reflected in his dealings with Ron Dennis, CEO of McLaren, cast your eye over this little tirade. Mosley Sends Severe Letter to Dennis A tad less than graceful you might agree.

But that pales in comparison to Mosely's shear vindictiveness and abuse of his position, demonstrated in this shabby attempt to block, through the FIA, Martin Brundle's proposed move to the BBC as part of their new team when they took over coverage of F1 from ITV. FIA trying to ban Martin Brundle?


Another opinion found on the web.

I asked a friend of mine who has worked for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation whether it was likely their revelations about Mosley in the News of the World was a response to the FIA’s decision to sue The Sunday Times (because of Martin Brundle’s columns on McLaren and Ferrari).

He chuckled at my naivete in even asking the question. Of course that’s what happened… Ron Dennis speaks, Max Mosley sues

And before we move on, a little titillation.

The reason we love such cases is that the British establishment is at its magnificent best when debating sex, in its studiedly dispassionate style. The Lady Chatterley trial in 1960 set the benchmark for this irresistible combination of gravitas and salaciousness, as when prosecution counsel Mervyn Griffith-Jones asked whether the novel was "a book you would wish your wife or servants to read". Max Mosley case: A spanking good spectacle

Max Mosley loses European court privacy law bid

Ex-motorsports boss Max Mosley has lost his European Court of Human Rights bid to force newspapers to warn people before exposing their private lives.

He said the Strasbourg verdict was "disappointing" but he may appeal, to keep fighting for tighter privacy laws.

In 2008, the UK High Court awarded him £60,000 damages after ruling the News of the World invaded his right to privacy by reporting on his sex life.

Victory might have led to new privacy laws, which press bosses oppose.

Mr Mosley, 71, said of the judgement: "[I'm] obviously disappointed, but it's satisfying that they've been extremely critical of the News of the World.

"I think they've underestimated the danger from the UK tabloids but obviously they're the judges and one has to respect their decision."
Super-injunctions

Mr Mosley won his 2008 High Court battle after a judge ruled there was no justification for the News of the World's front-page article about him paying five women to take part in a sado-masochistic orgy.

The tabloid reported that the orgy involving Mr Mosley, the son of fascist leader Oswald Mosley, had Nazi overtones, but this was rejected by the judge.

Although he was awarded £60,000 damages, everyone had learned the details of his sexual preferences, and he argued money alone could not restore his reputation.

He said once a story had been published, you could not "un-publish" it, and the damage had been done. blah blah

What I do find more interesting than the news of Mosely's defeat in the European Court of Human Rights, is this five minute, but comprehensive interview with Jeremy Paxman, where among other things discussed, are Twitter, nutters and injunctions. more

The ''few thousand pounds'' quoted by Mosely as being the cost of a super-injunction, is I am led to believe, about a hundred grand.

Legard Gone, Joy To The World

Can he take the FIA with him?

I might even consider buying a television. Might.

And as long as Coulthard doesn't turn it into a Red Bull wankfest, it should be grand, mighty even.

Martin Brundle & David Coulthard to be F1 commentators

Martin Brundle is to become BBC Sport's lead Formula 1 commentator in 2011, with David Coulthard moving alongside him as co-commentator.

Brundle, who replaces Jonathan Legard, has commentated on 231 grands prix since retiring as an F1 driver in 1996.

Brundle said he was "absolutely delighted and very motivated" by his new role alongside Coulthard.

The Scot, who joined the BBC after retiring from F1 in 2008, said: "F1 is all about challenging yourself."

Ben Gallop, BBC's head of F1, said: "We're always looking for ways to take our F1 coverage to another level - and for 2011 we have an exciting new combination in the commentary box.

"We're keen to make the most of Martin Brundle's wealth of broadcasting experience and his popularity with the audience by giving him the role of lead commentator and putting him alongside David Coulthard, one of the biggest names in British motorsport and a skilled race analyst.

"We want to tap into their combined on-track expertise - together they will provide our viewers with more immediate discussion, analysis and debate as the action happens."

Coulthard, who won 13 grands prix in a 15-year F1 career, added: "This will be a big challenge for me, but one that I am looking forward to. There is a great team on the BBC F1 show and we're looking forward to the year ahead and to bringing something new to our loyal viewers."

Brundle has commentated on 231 grands prix since he first joined ITV in 1997 after a 13-year F1 career, during which he drove for Tyrrell, Zakspeed, Williams, Brabham, Ligier, Benetton, McLaren and Jordan.

This will be the first time he has been the lead commentator.

Brundle and Coulthard have done screen tests in their new roles and Gallop said: "The results of screen tests have been very impressive and we are convinced this combination will deliver a fantastic commentary for our audience for what promises to be a thrilling 2011 season."

Brundle said: "I'm absolutely delighted and very motivated that BBC Sport has asked me to become the lead Formula 1 commentator alongside David Coulthard.

"We have been friends, rivals and colleagues for 18 years and combined we have driven more than 400 F1 grands prix and attended more than 700.

"I've never felt more passionate about F1 and I can't wait to get started."

Coulthard added: "I'm very excited to be joining forces with Martin in this new role of co-commentator. F1 is all about challenging yourself and this will be a big challenge for me, but one that I am looking forward to.

"There is a great team on the BBC F1 show and we're looking forward to the year ahead and to bringing something new to our loyal viewers."

The decision to team Brundle with Coulthard means there is no place for Legard in the BBC F1 commentary set-up.

Gallop added: "We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jonathan for his great work over the last two seasons.

"He is a first-rate journalist and broadcaster who has been a core member of our team, helping to re-establish BBC Sport as the nation's F1 broadcaster. We wish him all the very best for the future." BBC F1

Don't worry about his neck boys.

Valencia F1 Loosing The Will To Live

.
Without the slightest shadow of doubt, Valencia, the most dismal poxy ridiculous god-forsaken venue to ever host a Grand Prix.

A venue where you can never get an overall view or perception of the race. A venue that in terms of atmosphere reflects only and exactly what it is, an industrial dockland and absolutely no place to hold Formula One event.

Not last year, not this year not ever.

Combine that above with the incessant over emphasised ramblings of Jonathan, I'm such a loud mouthed ignorant fucking gobshite, Legard, then it really takes away my will to live.

So to Bernie Ecclestone who brought this dismal place to the Formula One calendar, you are a cunt.
To the BBC, if next year you continue your otherwise excellent coverage with Legard as part of the team then you can stick your licence fee* up your fucking arse, and I ain't kidding, I will watch it as a re-run on line,... so endeth the rant.


The winner, Rubino well done you old bugger, if it wasn't going to be a McLaren win then I cannot think of who I would rather see on the top step.

I do like Rubens he's a nice bloke and whereas I thought him well out of order with his recent outburst I can empathise with him. Having to play second fiddle to Schumaker all those years can't have been at all easy.

Not as a racing driver in his own right it can't have been, and let's face it, Rubens is racy racing driver, far more so than half the lacklustre pedestrian buggers that turn up at each race and only go through the motions.

I have done a fair bit of racing over the years albeit in a totally different animal to a F1 car, but I shared something that Rubens has, the overwhelming desire to win, and it's that overwhelming desire coupled with frustration that on the odd occasion has clouded Rubino's judgement somewhat.

That desire to be first is fundamental to all successful sportsmen not just racing drivers, it's what I believe makes the Yankees so successful in the sporting arena, we Brits might celebrate a silver or bronze medal and think we did well, to the Americans silver is the first looser.

On a slightly different note, and I don't want to write too much on the subject for I'm hoping to write much more in the near future.

It was with much wailing, wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth that I greeted the news that Juan Pablo Montoya was moving to NASCAR.
Three years leaning a new trade, two of those years operating with inferior kit, JPM is now doing pretty well, lying seventh in rankings with I think just four races to go before the cut-off for the Sprint Cup Chase where only the top twelve drivers compete for the actual cup in a series of ten races.


Whereas redneck racing wouldn't normally hold a great deal of interest for me, with Juan the man in contention I do watch it live online, race times vary depending on daytime or evening starts unfortunately a late start tonight 7pm EST here are two feeds for live viewing if don't want to watch the whole thing you can watch highlights or lap by lap at NASCAR.com usually within twenty four hours of the end of the race.

Max Mosley: Quote Of The Year

.

"I am under pressure now from all over the world to stand for re-election,"




















This below was originally meant to be one of two but when he said he was standing down I didn't pursue the second one.

What a delusional fucktard if ever there was.



Moving away from Herr Flick to take a look at the quality of the TV coverage, I didn't think ITV did a bad job of previous years coverage, but the BBC, and I'm far from alone in saying this, absolutely spot on, a first class show all round. Not least because the Beeb had the good sense to bring on board Martin Brundle in spite of mean, petty, vindictive attempts by the FIA (Mosley) to block his move to the new BBC team.

But, ain't there always a but?

But this fellow, again I'm not alone in my opinion, contributes absolutely nothing to the quality of the broadcast.

It took me about two minutes of the first race to form my opinion, but when on the first wet race, behind the safety car, this fellow confirmed he has no place in Formula One by giving out the sector times of various cars.

One commenter on the very readable Jake Humphrey's blog put it this way:

Secondly! Jonathan Legard. I will try to be as polite as I can about him. He tries his best. But to me at least, his commentary is woefully short of the expected level of what is, overall, the best F1 coverage ever. Cold, sterile, unenthusiastic, overdramatic when he doesn't need to be, unable to build tension, cliche-ridden, and worse, that Sinful quality he has of talking over Martin Brundle. Jonathan also seems distant from the rest of the team and from my perspective at least, he also seems distant from the sport itself.

Nuff said.

Montoya on Mosely : Stoddart on Mosely

Well you can imagine that it ain't going to be no love letter from Stoddy.

Writing for Pitpass, the best opinion site for F1, who incidentally are so worried to death that someone might copy paste a few of their precious words and consequently go to great pains to make sure you don't, leaves me only to say Stoddie's article can be read here.


Monty on the other hand is pissing himself with laughter.

“I was so shocked by it,” Montoya – a six-time grand prix-winner for McLaren-Mercedes and Williams-BMW – commented in an interview with the Associated Press. “When they sent [the video] to me, I was like ‘no way!' Now, I'm just like ‘Hey, he's just an old guy trying to have some fun'.

“I loved it – it's a laughing matter! You know, when I first heard about it, it was shocking, but then he decided to play it like nothing has happened and it's just so hilarious.”more from the man.

Mosely "Not Going": Don't Bet The Farm and a WTF Is This?

.
Max, one word, toast.

FIA president Max Mosley is facing renewed pressure to resign over newspaper allegations about his private life.

Germany’s national motoring body, ADAC, has written to Mosley asking him to “very carefully reconsider his role” in light of the controversy.

And the Dutch motorsport federation, KNAF, has said it will vote for Mosley to stand down at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of the FIA membership.

On Thursday four of the six major car manufacturers involved in Formula 1 expressed their concern that the scandal risked damaging the sport's image and the FIA's reputation, and urged the governing body to give an official response.more

But what I find most bizarre is Mosely's response to the statement issued by BMW/Mercedes.


What The Fuck kind of a reply is this to make in the twenty first century to the two leading German auto manufacturers and major participants in Formula One?


"Given the history of BMW and Mercedes Benz, particularly........" Stroll on! need I say more?

Get the fuck gone Max you're goddamn embarrassment, not only to yourself but to everyone else and the sport I love.

Let us have a look at the headline from The Screws, proprietor Rupert Murdoch


F1 boss Max Mosley has sick Nazi orgy with 5 hookers

Son of fascist Hitler lover in sex shame

Now I'm not one to deny a fellow his sexual peccadilloes but getting the arse whipped off you on film is not the most desirous of things, especially when you have enemies, and I reckon you have your share of those Maxy baby.

But it's not the number of enemies that count when it comes to this little tale of pervery rather it's the quality of said enemy

I think it's no accident that the News of the World, proprietor Rupert Murdoch, splashed this all over the front page, because sometimes when a newspaper, The Times, proprietor Rupert Murdoch, is served with a writ for libel it's not totally out of the question that said proprietor, fights back, and fights back in the dirtiest of ways and they don't come any dirtier than Murdoch.


In short Max you've fucked up, fucked up big style. Issuing a writ against The Times because Martin Brundle dared to tell the truth about your endless harmful campaign against Ron Dennis and McLaren was, to put it mildly, a tad imprudent.

Bye bye Max, don't let the door catch your arse.

FORMULA One motor racing chief Max Mosley is today exposed as a secret sado-masochist sex pervert.

The son of infamous British wartime fascist leader Oswald Mosley is filmed romping with five hookers at a depraved NAZI-STYLE orgy in a torture dungeon. Mosley— a friend to F1 big names like Bernie Ecclestone and Lewis Hamilton— barks ORDERS in GERMAN as he lashes girls wearing mock DEATH CAMP uniforms and enjoys being whipped until he BLEEDS.


The multi-millionaire son of Sir Oswald, who was a pal of Adolf Hitler, plays a concentration camp commandant in a FIVE-HOUR torture chamber video.

Mosley—the most powerful man in motor-racing—barks orders in German as he WHIPS two hookers dressed in striped uniforms reminiscent of AUSCHWITZ garb while girls in Nazi uniforms look on.

At one point the wrinkled 67-year-old—who publicly likes to give the impression he has put his father's evil legacy behind him—yells "she needs more of ze punishment!" while brandishing a LEATHER STRAP over a brunette's naked bottom. more and video.

And then we have today's follow up from, where else but The Times.

Max Mosley, one of the most powerful men in world sport, was under pressure to resign as boss of Formula One’s governing body last night after he was exposed enjoying a Nazi-style orgy with five prostitutes.

Betty Boop, Speaking For McLaren Said....

.
I used to respect Alonso both as a driver and as a man with a bit of character but the bottom line of all the nonsense that has gone on realy all boils down this, Alonso saying to the Ronster, "I can't beat Hamilton on the track so you must give me a better car than him."


And the Ronster replying, though I'm sure a little more diplomatically, said, "Fernando, go fuck yourself."

Double world champion Fernando Alonso has agreed to split with the McLaren-Mercedes team by mutual consent.

In a widely expected move, the 26-year-old Spaniard has agreed terms to terminate his agreement with the Woking squad after just one season of his three-year contract.

Alonso made no secret of the fact at the start of the season that McLaren was the team he had always wanted to race for – but after a turbulent year admits things didn't pan out as he had hoped. more
