To what extent , if any , does or should whatever someone legally and privately gets up to in their private life affect their ability to do their job , or their right to keep it ?
And should newspapers , or other media outlets be alllowed to expose anyones private activities , providing no laws have been  transgressed ?
There've been many examples of this , most recently the 'news of the world's' expose' of Max Mosley , 67 year old son of the late , former 'British Fascist' leader , and nazi sympathiser Oswald Mosley , having had a private party with five prostitutes in which they dressed  in nazi  and in prisoner uniforms , and whipped , humiliated each other , etc .
So now Max Mosley's position as president of the Formula One Motor Racing related International automobile federation seems in jeopardy .
For sure what he did will be distasteful , if not abhorrent to many , but , it occured privately and consensually amongst adults , and seems to bear no relation to his ability to do his job , competently or otherwise .
If he were a Bishop or anyone preaching sexual fidelity and morality to the rest of us , or if he were curator of the National Jewish Library for example , that would be a different matter .
I think there should be privacy laws protecting the exposure of anyones private life so long as it is legal between consenting adults and  not dramatically at odds with their public role , and/or if they present themself as a 'clean living' devoutly  moral character .
What do you think ?
