To Philip Townsned.
I’m not sure that your unclear accusation merits a response, but if you had read my book, which you patently haven’t, you would be aware that I am not a journalist of any kind, notable or otherwise. It was precisely from that perspective that I approached the task of examining the attitudes and pratices of the News of the World. I have no wish to be confused with Peter Burden, formerly of the Daily Mail, who has not produced a book of any sort – nor indeed a crime report in decades. Legendary? Je ne croix pas.
Give Mazher my regards.

When I saw ‘Fake Sheikhs and Royal Trappings’ on Amazon I through ah! this must be a sensible book about the red tops by the legendary crime
reporter from the great days of Fleet Street. The truth is that the only connection is that you both have the same name. Your book shows you are not a journalist of any note and the book is a complete load of often repeated rubbish. I understand that as expected it is being out sold by a book of a similar name by a truly great practitioner of
investigative journalism Mr Mazher Mahmood apparently known to you as
Mazher but to everyone else as Maz. Why don’t you stick to things you appear to understand.

In a couple of news items today, Mosley is reported as admitting that he has brought F1 into disrepute. Which is what the teams, major motoring associations representing millions of members, and the F1 followers have said from the beginning.

No Helen, Germany still has prisons. However, I dont think they measure genitals , shave bottoms or take rectal temperatures. I am pretty sure they dont bend them over nude and thrash the hell out of them. I rest my case.
Perhaps you should learn a little about F1 to give some background into why this as more that an old pervert soliciting and procuring.
To Peter I would say that this man is an absolute liability to F1.
The Bahrain Royal Family, the Monaco Royal Family and the Israeli Government also agree. Plus a few million fans.

Responding to Doc Knox…
I concede that I don’t know a great deal about F1, but I have no doubt that, like all sports, strong and opposing views are held about many aspects of it. In these circumstances, those who hold the other view and are resolute in maintaining it are often perceived as Bully Boys. Was Maclaren’s behaviour identical to that of Renault and Ferrari? I don’t think so.
Besides, as I have argued eleswhere on this blog, we all – good, bad and bland – have a right to our own personal privacy, and I don’t wish to see the NoW encouraged in its stance as national arbiter of sexual morality – do you?

What, so Germans stopped having prisons after the Nazi era? German + uniform does not equal Nazi, and saying otherwise is bollocks. I don’t particularly like Mosley, and I know nothing about him professionally, but sexual freedom should be be just that. Freedom. The News of the World are tainting the idea of press freedom – they are nasty little worms trying to muckrake, not real journalists.

What exactly is it about an old man getting spanked by whores that serves the ‘Public Interest’ exactly? It’s irrelevant, and the News of the World using the ‘Public Interest’ argument makes it harder for real journalists to argue that case when a story genuinely of interest.

In the land of “tosh” belongs the claim that Mosley has been “scrupulously promoting fair play”. Peter Burden obviously knows little or nothing about formula 1. Perhaps he could give us an erudite view on the vicious attack on Ron Dennis and McLaren while doibg nothing to Ferreri and Renault for the same behaviour.
From all the multiple comments to many articles about Herr Mosley over the past few weeks, it is apparent that the great majority of persons are nauseated by this bully boy.
Look at the video and tell us what ‘prison scene’ it represented.
In the German language, the nazi era is the ONLY one that fits
