She also alleges that Whittingdale knew Ms King's profession all along and that she has evidence to prove it.<br /><br />Byline/Hacked off were flailing around for a public interest angle on the Whittingdale story, and one such angle is that of hypocrisy implied in the Mosley quote. Unless I've missed it, no such question from Chairman Whittingdale to Mosley appears in the transcript of the committee hearings.<br /><br />http://www.parliament.uk/documents/joint-committees/Privacy-and-Injunctions/JCPIWrittenEvWeb.pdf<br /><br />Relevant section starts on page 698.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-29180167560337152982016-04-17T00:09:42.877+01:002016-04-17T00:09:42.877+01:00In such matters probably best to stand back.

(best I can come up with this time of night, if that's not too Panglossian a take on things) Tim Garton-Ash's pieces on free speech on Radio 4. He was given at least an hour or more over several days to propound his view of free speech, which seemed to chime in with Max Mosley's - and he had Mosley on to give his side of things (with no counterbalance from the press to give their view). <br /><br />Personally my view of free speech that of the late 18th century cartoons. <br /><br />Here are some examples - <br /><br />https://gerryco23.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/city-of-laughter-bawdy-and-scurrilous-18th-century-london/<br /><br />Free speech should expand in line with the girth of the powerful. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
