No thanks.
I have sympathy for the Dowlers, Chris Jefferies (spelling?) or similar.
But many had it coming. Hugh Grant can get stuffed, as can Max Moseley (and probably has).
The law is adequate as it is in this respect.

That's OK, I did say "if you feel strongly...." so not sure why you felt the need to post,this especially as there is another thread specifically for your views, but hey ho!

Well thats a bit of a miserable way to think about the world in general.
I still say that the Media has a responsibility to respect public decency because not doing so is either unfairly upsetting to the person involved in their account, but it also encourages that kind of attitude and I don't think that is a good thing...do you?

...but the media (e.g. NOTW, afaiaa and allegedly) already broke existing laws - illegal interception of communications, libel, bribery, perjury etc. There is no point in introducing new laws if the existing ones (never mind the new ones) are not going to be enforced!

If you are interested in this subject, I highly recommend you read this. It is the story of how the SAS sniper story almost didn't get into the papers. The MOD actually served a D notice on the Telegraph to suppress it. That is what you will get more of if the Leveson report goes through. We already have some of the toughest libel laws in the world, and the press fulfillls a useful function of scrutiny. How would the MP expense scandal have gone with more state control of the press? You don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater...

Yes I do klnow what they are, I can read as it happens!
The fact is that on this thread is the mention of state control of the press, that is not what Leveson recommends, but I guess it doesn't suit your agenda to pull anyone up on that?

Signed.
Why on earth people say to themselves "Hmm yes, the answer to failed self regulation is to have more of it" is beyond me.
I take it all the people arguing for self regulation are entirely happy with, say, the police regulating themselves through the IPCC as is the case now, and do not want to see an indepenent body?

I can't really see why anyone would oppose the Leveson recommendations, assuming it really will be an independent panel who oversees it. Some of the intrusions of privacy we've seen over the past few years have been disgraceful. I don't feel strongly enough to sign a petition but why do the people opposed to it have that opinion?

Stop the press and things like exposing the MPs, Starbucks/Amazon/Google tax payments would never have seen the light of day.
Was only for the Press that those companies got caught.

If the press break the law, use existing laws to punish them.
