Paul Dacre, the Daily Mail, and 'decency'

matty · November 10, 2008

Paul Dacre, satan's evil twin, has been complaining about the Max Mosley case, annoyed that a judge has ruled for the FIA head and created a privacy law from the human rights act.

This is a quote from Dacre's speech:

"Nor in his [Judge Eady's] mind was there anything wrong in a man of such wealth using his money to exploit women in this way. Would he feel the same way, I wonder, if one of those women had been his wife or daughter?

This is from Richard Littlejohn's column in the Daily Mail of 18 December 2006, on the murder in Ipswich of five prostitutes:

"We do not share in the responsibility for either their grubby little existences or their murders. Society isn't to blame.

It might not be fashionable, or even acceptable in some quarters, to say so, but in their chosen field of "work'=", death by strangulation is an occupational hazard.

That doesn't make it justifiable homicide, but in the scheme of things the deaths of these five women is no great loss.

They weren't going to discover a cure for cancer or embark on missionary work in Darfur. The only kind of missionary position they undertook was in the back seat of a car."

Well, fancy that.
