Question Press Freedom

I would think everyone is sick and tired of Leveson and the subsequent political discussions.

I've sort of followed it but really can't be bothered, or understand, the details. Plus my cynicism says the Press will stay much the same anyway.

So a basic question. Take that sad case where a dad and son fell to their deaths in the Alps. Can The Sun go knocking on the family front door and stick its unwanted nose in in the guise of "public interest"?

That's the kind of intrusion that p1ssed me off so will it stop now? So much fuss about how big an apology needs to be but surely if it gets to that stage the damage is done.

Somehow it is necessary to ensure that the Press follows the lines of common decency.

We already have laws to stop press intrusion but unfortunately they are not used. It will be much of the same if any new regulation comes into being.
