A response to the vagina monologuer

Tuesday 11th November 2008 · No Comments

Letters from a Tory on Paul Dacre’s whinge about privacy:

“The problem here is that you don’t really grasp the concept of privacy, presumably because you have spent so much of your professional life ignoring it. Like you, I believe that a free press is essential if we are to maintain any notion of living in a free society. However, I also believe that everyone is entitled to a private life. The Max Mosley scandal led to these two principles colliding at high speed, but in my opinion the right to privacy wins.”

The full post is over on Letters from a Tory.

PS. Why the “vagina monologuer”? Dacre’s newsroom rants are referred to by Daily Mail staffers as the “Vagina Monologues” because of his merry way with the word “cunt”.
