No, which is the crux of the matter. The tabloid in question said it had Nazi overtones, and the judge said there was no grounds for that comment to be made.

If there were no swastikas, pix of hitler & co. or German flags or paraphernalia, the only Nazi overtones would be the sadism and cruelty.

If some hookers were just talking in German, the Nazi reference is probably far-fetched and tabloidal.

In a semi-related story, Mr. Justice Eady is in the news today having awarded former-singer Kerry Katona undisclosed libel damages following a peice run by the Sunday Mirror claiming her mother was publishing a book which revealed she was a prostitute before becoming famous. Neither claim is true, and the paper has already published an appology.

Man, the British tabloids really make ours look tame in comparison. It's amazing some of the nonsense they get away with.

By Damn, I love the trash the Sunday Mirror publishes. It's much better than the trash the National Enquirer publishes,
