Thread: privacy laws (hatton)

can the news of the world really put cameras in peoples hotel rooms?

ok its big news that hatton is on coke but is it not bigger news that the news of the world are spying on people by planting cameras?

how is this allowed? the only conclusion that i can come to is that it is all staged and hatton bought into it from the start for some publicity or something

surely planting cameras isnt allowed

something needs to be done too coz doesnt this set a precedent for anyone to go and plant cameras where ever they want so they can sell the content?

how did they get it in there? were the hotel in on it?

that was a massive rant but it was that bird who stitched him up wasnt it

still, there shouild be some law against that

Yeah I completely agree. I HATE the news of the world with a passion they are the cunts of all cunts imo, just trying to look for scandals to drag famous people down so they can sell the story to line their pockets.

Even worse, when they have no scandal they will send that scum guy in to dress up as an Arab and try and entrap someone into doing something they can report on.

I wish the whole shitty paper would be forced to disband and all of its journalists and editorial team got sent to prison.

These tabloid papers are one of the things that annoy me more than anything on earth, I would never buy a copy of their smut comics.

I hate the way they set themselves up as the bastions of moral values whilst filling their paper with tits and sensationalist sleaze.

If I was a celebrity I would have nothing to do with tabloid press whatsoever, no interviews ever, no contact at all.

I feel sorry for Ricky being sold out that like that, but I lost all respect for him when instead of telling them to get fucked he actually goes over to them and gives them an exclusive interview. How embarrassing!!!

He's basically a media whore who will prostitute himself for good publicity. He sends his parents in front of the tv cameras to publicly weep on his behalf, theatrically checks himself to the Priory and then gives his own exclusive.

Fuck News of the World, and fuck Ricky Hatton for sleeping with them.

how the hell these constantly manage to full under any entrapment laws is completely beyond me. Once again they prey on somebody famous`s negligence that gets the whole SHOCK HORROR fan fare with it.

Although i semi agree with what baggins is piping on about, ricky was pretty much backed into a corner here and didnt have too many cards to play with. If he`d of gone all quiet on the subject he would of let down a hell of a lot of people and done himself no favours whatsoever. By coming out and admitting he got caught with his trousers down he once again maintains his dignity as a standout individual who made an error

Hope for rickys sake the boxing public is forgiving enough to allow his promotions and celebrity status to flourish

If you're out in the public place, you can legally be filmed. Thats how the paparazzi get away with filming celebs on the street. It wasn't Ricky's hotel room, it was booked by the woman, so she can legally film him I'm pretty sure.

Well IMO you should say "fuck society" first, because these media scum are just giving the people what they want to see/hear. Its a sad commentary on the human race.

Oh believe me I've done that too.

But on a serious note Ricky Hatton is a joke. He gets ratted out by the News of the World and so does an exlusive interview with them, introducing it in that video with the most nauseous line 'Hi I'm Ricky Hatton and I've been binge drinking. Join me in my toughest fight of my life bla bla....'

That seriously makes me want to puke, he's just turned his personal crisis' into a bit of media drama and no doubt got paid handsomely for his interview.

Plus, taking cocaine and drinking is the toughest fight of his life? Poor Ricky it's so tough, having to say no drinking 10 pints of Guiness and snorting 7 lines of coke a day. How will you ever find the willpower to say no to that.
