THE president of the body governing world motor racing - the son of a notorious wartime fascist - has allegedly been caught on video cavorting with prostitutes in a Nazi role-play sex game.
Max Mosley - the son of British Union of Fascists party founder Oswald Mosley - was reported by the News of the World to have taken part in the sleazy scene at a London apartment.
But the FIA - which oversees international car racing - today refused to comment on the matter, saying only: “This is a matter between Mr Mosley and the newspaper.”
A video on the News of the World’s website shows a man identified as Mosley arriving at an apartment.
The man is then greeted by a woman playing the role of a prison guard, checking his hair to see if he has been kept clean “at the other facility”.
Later, another woman in a prisoner’s uniform enters the video and the man said to be Mosley is heard speaking German.
The paper said it obtained the video from its “investigators”, but gave no further details.
Mosley, the head of the body that governs Formula One racing, has been married to his wife, Jean, since 1960, the paper said.
His father was a former British politician who served in Parliament for both the Labour and Conservative parties. Oswald Mosley died in 1980.
Families angry over sealers’ deaths

THE families of four Canadian seal hunters who drowned when their trawler flipped while being towed say the coast guard killed them.
Two crewmen from L’Acadien II were pulled from the icy waters of the Gulf of St Lawrence by another sealing boat after the accident on Saturday, but captain Bruno Bourque and crewmen Gilles Leblanc and Marc-Andre Deraspe were killed.
A fourth crew member, Carl Aucoin, is missing presumed dead.
“The coast guard sunk them,” said Damien Deraspe, Mr Aucoin’s brother-in-law.
“There were always risks, but this wasn’t a hunting accident, it was a towing accident.” he told The Star newspaper.
Joel Arseneau, the Mayor of Iles-de-la-Madeleine, the Quebec town where the men were from, said their families were owed an explanation.
“There is an anger among friends of the victims about the result of the coast guard’s rescue operation”, he told the paper.
“The men were under the coast guard’s responsibility.”
The Star said L’Acadien II, which was taking part in the annual harp seal hunt, radioed the coast guard after losing its rudder.
Witnesses said the coast guard was towing the stricken vessel too quickly and did not notice the trawler had swerved into ice and flipped.
The search for Mr Aucoin had ended, with the coast guard saying “all hope had diminished for his survival”.
Canada’s Chronicle Herald said Mr Deraspe, 20, was a star ice hockey player for the junior A Restigouche Tigers in New Brunswick.
The seal hunt has been called off for now, partly out of respect for the dead, and because of the dangerous ice near the hunting grounds.
The harp seal quota this year is 15,000 seals. So far, about 1000 have been killed.
Vicar offers stress relief in grave

“I meant it as a meditative exercise,” pastor Thorsten Nolting said.
“I wanted people to think about what weighs on them down in the darkness and gather the energy to resist it.”
Nolting, from the German city of Duesseldorf, said his plan went “horribly wrong” when journalists’ persistent questioning as parishioners were “laid to rest” earlier this week ruined the serenity of the occasion.
“It wasn’t silent, as it should have been. They ruined it. (They) would not go away, even when I asked them,” he said.
Extroverts who could cope with the incessant questioning were happy to climb down into the two metre long hole, and then rave about their “resurrection”.
But a local newspaper said one man was still shaking 20 minutes after his seven-minute spell in the dank grave ended.
Court issues arrest warrant for ‘God’
March 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment
A MAGISTRATE today issued an arrest warrant for a man who failed to turn up to court because he is “God” and above the law.
Richard James Howarth was remanded to appear in the Ipswich Magistrate’s Court to answer a string of traffic offences, including four counts of driving with a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit.
However, his lawyers said he failed to appear after having earlier informed them he would not talk to them because he is was the almighty and above answering to Queensland laws.
Early this month, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service solicitor Kevin Rose, for Howarth, told the court his client refused his office’s attempts to talk to them.
A court and a mental health expert have already deemed Howarth was mentally fit for trial, but Mr Rose maintained he has obvious mental health issues.
Mr Rose said he did not doubt Howarth genuinely believed he was God.
The court was told the Crown, including the Attorney-General and state prosecutors, were proceeding with numerous criminal charges against Howarth.
Mr Rose said his office continued to struggle to make contact with Howarth.
“We have trouble getting lucid instructions (from Howarth),” Mr Rose told the court.
Howarth is yet to enter pleas to four counts of driving under the influence of liquor, two of dangerous driving and failing to stop and one of speeding.
Mr Rose today said Howarth had yet to give them any instructions regarding whether he intended to plead guilty to the charges or defend them.
“I don’t think we’ve ever had instructions (from Howarth),” he said.
Magistrate Matthew McLaughlin said he had little option but to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Plane hits dog, skids off runway

None of the passengers or crew on the Kingfisher Airlines flight IT 2427 to the neighbouring southern city of Hyderabad were hurt and they were immediately evacuated, airline spokeswoman Beena Omprakash said.
“The plane was taxiing for takeoff when its front wheel hit a dog on the runway,” Bangalore-based Omprakash said.
“The plane skidded and its nose collapsed. All the passengers are safe.”
She said she did not have a specific number of passengers on the short-haul turbo-prop ATR aircraft today but Times Now television news network said 29 people were onboard.
Kingfisher is owned by India’s billionaire liquor baron Vijay Mallya, who named the airline after his UB Group’s flagship beer brand.
The airport was temporarily closed to incoming and outgoing flights as the plane blocked the runway, television news channels reported. Bangalore-bound flights were diverted, they said.
The airport, run by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, is due to close in May when a new international airport is set to open.
