There is no law against taking a photo in a public place. If the person can be seen from a public place then its allowed by law. The point is its morally wrong and the press doesnt have any morals.
Hi there, can I ask you a question, are you stupid?
If it is not against the law, then a press regulating authority won't stop them doing it.
Or they will
unlawfully stop them doing it, due pressure from the government or an individual government minister.
Or it is against the law, in which case why do we need a quango, why not just ring the police?
I fail to see why i should be called a numpty, because its true what i said. I dont care what the politicians do, because im unable to do anything to affect their decisions or whatever else they are doing. I can vote on GE day, and the party i choose may get into government, but they are all capable, and often do, do things which we as the public dont like.
Tried voting out your local building control department, maybe the highway agency.
What's that, you cant?
But you can instantly choose not to buy a newspaper, and if they break the law you can set the police on them.
Oh what's that, if your local quango makes a mistake you can't do eff all, other than listen to them go "lessons will be learnt".
Yes, yes I can see how quangos will make everything better!
Why are you defending the press so much anyway?
Remember the expenses scandal.
Remember MP's tried to block information getting released.
See where this is going?
You are all for a free press, but you don't want them to be free.
And you ask why I call you a numpty?
