Formula 1 kerfuffle ...
... Max Mosely (son of famous UK fascist Oswald Mosely) is the unpaid boss of "World Motorsport" and in particular the FIA who oversee Formula One racing.
A British newspaper claimed on Sunday that Mosley took part in a "Nazi-style orgy in a torture dungeon". He has denied any Nazi connotations and apologised for any embarrassment.
- BBC Sport
Didn't deny the orgy or torture dungeon, just the Nazi bit.
But my favourite bit is that some organisations are calling on him to be replaced due to this situation ... but the British with their sense of fair play and reserve (and love of kinky sex) have responded thus:
Britain's member associations of the FIA have not been drawn into the debate as yet. Three of the member groups, the MSA (Motor Sports Association), the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) and the AA (Automobile Association), refused to comment when contacted by BBC Sport.
But a spokesman for the Caravan Club, which does not expect to have a vote at the meeting, said: "Immaterial of the current situation, we feel it is time for Max Mosley to step down and have done for some time."
Well, *I* am amused :-)
