Bloke of the street ----- President of the FIA.
Romantic love making with wife in bedroom ----- S&M orgy with 5 prostitutes.
Spot the subtle differences?
So, basically, you think that if you're a conventional chap who likes it in the missionary position once or twice a month your privacy is inviolable, but if you have a bit more of a sex drive and/or like a bit of kinkyness you're fair game?
Sorry, but I don't see it.
If you want to be a freedom warrior, then great.
Do you honestly think though, regardless of the nazi theme part not being true, that he should just carry on in his position?
Yes, I do.
That he hasn't humiliated himself and the FIA? That noone is going to care?
How, exactly, does his prediliction for kinky sex affect his ability to do his job? That's the crux of the matter.
My best friend (who I've known since I was 13; I'm now 29) is both bisexual and promiscuous. He's also very good at his job, and has been promoted accordingly. I don't see any reason why his out-of-hours behaviour should have any bearing on the job he's very good at.

So it might be pissing you off, and you might not be able to see it, but a lot of other people can. Perhaps you could try looking harder?
Looking harder for what exactly? It's obvious what the problem is- it's that a bunch of moralistic misery guts have a problem with people freely expressing their sexuality. As a liberal, I have never, and will never, have a problem with that.

Former Minardi boss Paul Stoddart said that the FIA was "without credibility" if Mosley remained in charge.
"Various heads of state that go to Grands Prix don't want to be seen with him," Stoddart told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"The institution (FIA) is completely without credibility. The Crown Prince of Bahrain does not want Mosley in his country while the Australian prime minister refuses to have a meeting with him.
"There are big public companies that probably won't want to be associated with an institution that Mosley, having been exposed like this, has been representing and will continue to represent."
Considering as you lot rightly (
) point out, he has't done anything, all these people are behaving very oddly.
Not odd, just predictable moralistic reactionary toss.
"Along with the Americans, the Japanese, French, Australian and Spanish automobile federations all voted against Mosley as did the German motoring federation ADAC - Europe's largest automobile organisation - who froze all its activities with the FIA."
More odd behaviour! Everyone seems to have it in their head that Max has done something humiliating.
Crazy, huh?
Well pick sides, I guess. On the one side, small minded reactionaries. On the other, open minded people who accept human sexual diversity. I think it's telling that the Japs and Germans are wholeheartledly against the whole thing. Japan is the country were it's basically acceptable to grope women on tube trains, and where tentacle rape manga is acceptable reading material in public; Germany surely produces as many hardcore porn films as anywhere else in Europe.
It's a load of hypocrisy.
