If you were an orgy-loving racist like Max Mosley was, you too would want to shackle the Press
Mosley has had a vendetta against the press since his infamous S&M orgy was exposed
ON July 28, 1962, a letter appeared in The Times clarifying the extremist policies of the Union Movement, after violence broke out at a rally led by the British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley.
The problem wasn’t “The Jew”, the letter said, but blacks.
“We do wish to end coloured immigration,” stressed the author. That kind of stuff would today lead to the writer facing a court. So who was it that held these views?
Step forward Mr Max Mosley, Sir Oswald’s loyal, devoted and thuggish young son and the man who today wants to end press freedom in Britain.
Mr Mosley’s racist views of his youth are kept a dark secret but he has become famous for his marathon S&M orgy with five prostitutes that was revealed by the News Of The World and led to his vendetta against the very press that exposed him.
Fortunately, Mosley’s anti-black agenda was defeated at the ballot box. But, unbelievably, his most recent campaign could well be successful.
I’ll spare you the legal complexities but he wants to silence newspapers unless they sign up to a regulator run by fellow press-hating fanatics and funded almost entirely by . . . yes, our old chum Max Mosley.
So far he’s put £3.8million into the venture. If you had his kind of background — a racist, orgy-enjoying businessman — you might think any amount of money to keep journalists from sniffing around would be a good investment.
In all the supportive coverage Mosley, below, has received on the BBC and the pages of The Guardian, no one has seen fit to question the past form and credentials of a man who would destroy the media.
So let me oblige.
Even at the young age of 18, Max Mosley was photographed with his brother Alex in the New York Times with the caption: Oppose Negroes in Britain. The article went on to say the Mosley brothers were members of a movement “accused of helping to stir anti-Negro riots”.
In 1961, while still a student at Oxford, Mosley was fined for obstructing a policeman in Trafalgar Square. He had been taking part in a counter-demonstration against an anti-apartheid protest.
Months later, Mosley was the official agent and spokesman for the ultra-Right Union Movement’s by-election candidate for Moss Side, Walter Hesketh.
Hesketh told reporters “the movement was in favour of immigration control based on colour”. Press reports said Hesketh “answers most questions through his agent and spokesman Max Mosley”.
A Union Movement poster that appeared throughout the area featured the slogan “Make Them Jump” and election leaflets claimed “coloured immigrants brought leprosy, syphilis and TB”.
The following year, Max was arrested again, this time for threatening behaviour at one of his father’s rallies in Dalston, East London.
As Mosley Sr addressed a crowd from a lorry, fighting broke out.
Max, 22, went to his father’s defence and was arrested.
Newsreel footage from the time shows a smiling young Mosley wearing a black polo neck and black bomber jacket.
He can be seen clearly getting involved with protesters as he flanks his father and even appears to have a fracas with a helmeted bobby.
Days later, at Old Street magistrates’, the would-be barrister wore fine tailoring as he successfully defended himself from the charge.
Outside court, father and son stood shoulder to shoulder as Sir Oswald declared: “I couldn’t be prouder of my boy.”
Maybe he wouldn’t have been so proud of his son’s penchant for raunchy sexual practices. I digress.
But we are coming to crunch point on the debate whether this country will continue to have a free press.
Come tomorrow the Government closes the official consultation on whether to enforce section 40 of the Crimes and Court Act.
Sounds pretty dull but this is what it would mean if Mrs May gives it the nod.
Yes, you heard correctly. Say The Sun succeeds in court, we would still have to fund for the unsuccessful claimant all the solicitors and QCs, running into hundreds of thousands.
We would literally go bust. Whenever the truth was unpalatable a claimant could sue without fear of financial retribution.
There would be a queue longer than Max Mosley’s todger to come after us.
Tabloid journalism is a rough old trade. Sometimes it’s misled. Every so often it gets things wrong. It pays dearly for these mistakes, either through the newsstands or the courts.
This country needs more free speech and fewer scumbags like Mosley.
Tortured by rail lefties
IT may have passed you by but the rail regulator – they are on the customers’ side – has decreed that transferring responsibility for doors from the guard to the drivers is completely safe.
So why will those left-wing turds at Aslef be torturing 300,000 commuters a day on Southern Rail by holding three days of strikes this week when they know passenger safety is not at risk with the change?
Do unions actually enjoy ruining innocent people’s lives? Be interested to hear Corbyn’s answer on that, wouldn’t you? I think I know his answer.
PS: Will be walking from Waterloo station to London Bridge today thanks to the Tube network being shut down in another industrial dispute.
The faster driver-less trains are introduced the better.
AS a punter, I am pleased to report that bookies have just had, to quote the private equity-owned Sky Bet: “The worst month in living memory.”
On Boxing Day, 15 of the 18 best-backed football teams won. Excellent.
William Hill and co may have had an awful December but remember I had an awful January to November.
Nobody weeps for me.
