Mosley loses video battle against News of the World

FIA president Max Mosley has lost a High Court bid to stop the News of the World from showing a videoclip of him and five prostitutes on the newspaper's website. In a statement, the Sunday newspaper said it would be put the clip back on the site "forthwith".

A statement from News of the World said: "As the judge acknowledged, he was able to see only "very brief extracts" - less than two minutes - of the very much longer video. Had he seen it in its entirety, we are confident that he could not fail to recognise the Nazi connotation which Mr Mosley so strenuously denies.

If, as he claims, this filmed orgy of sex and violence was not meant to be a sick fantasy based upon the brutalities of Nazi Germany, we must ask Mr Mosley the following questions.

1. Why are German military uniforms worn?

2. Why does he issue orders and threats in German to women who cannot speak German?

3. Why does he deliver and count out beatings in German to women who cannot understand German?

4. Why does he put on a German accent when speaking English?

5. Why are the victims of these beatings in German made to put on sinister striped uniforms?

6. Why the head lice inspections, the forced shaving of body hair and the sinister references to inmates being housed in "facilities"?

We look forward to Mr Mosley's answers to all these questions.
