S&M-loving FIA boss awarded £60k in damages

Yes, this isn’t just “Breaking news”, this is “BREAKING NEWS”. Shouty capital letters are fully justified…

Read it and weep: Herr Max von Spanky has won his court case against the snooping hacks at the News of the World. Max was awarded £60,000 in damages - peanuts to him, but he won’t complain - after the High Court ruled that the Sunday tabloid did breach his privacy.

Gott in Himmel, how has Mosley managed to emerge from this scandal smelling of petrol (a nicer smell than roses)? First he wins a vote of confidence from FIA members, now he puts one over on the media. It’s a quite remarkable escape, but not that surprising given his uncanny ability to come out on top, no matter what the circumstances.

Mosley showed no emotion when the ruling was delivered, but you can bet that inside he was chuckling like a demon.
