I don't think that Mosely being exposed was in the interest of the public as his private sexual proclivities had no bearing on his work nor was he claiming publicly to be something which he wasn't; OTOH the Pakistani cricketers were breaking the law if they were match-fixing (or even spot-fixing) and defrauding the bookies. As for testing the security of institutions, there is a time and a place for this - and probably a better way to do it (for example with a prior notification to someone in authority and/or a deposition placed with a lawyer in advance). Cash for questions was also breaking the rules of Parliament and thus was in contempt of Parliament which is illegal.
It is actually quite a straight-forward test to apply...

it just seems to me that the focus is a bit narrow when it comes to what stories to make or break... the thing with the sports stories that irritates me... and don't get me wrong ... well done on them .... but is this in terms of us as sports watchers are there not stories that have greater impact on us...

we don't real;ly have muychg control over say will the pakistan cricket team and by default of its response/lack of response  board ever be able to shake off its reputation ... so i guess a general suspicion of what is it that we are really watching is a result of sorts... or the fifa stuff ... is that more important than what is going on in real life?


GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
