It was the Nazi bit that was the main crux initially, largely because of who is father was. However, sadly, BDSM is going to have overtones of Nazism to the ignorant majority because they are quite happy to jump to conclusions and demonise anything they don't understand without even thinking about it. That's life I'm afraid, it's the crux of racism, homophobia and sexism - I don't understand it, therefore it must be bad and we must kill it.
It was won over a libel fact but today he has said that he is going to now sue the NotW over libel. I don't know if this is a good thing as the principle here was privacy and that was ultimately what he won over. We will see I guess.
Regarding the shitrags, to be honest I would rather they focussed on celebrity than politics. Millions of people are too easily influenced by these papers on politics and then go out to vote. That is when their influence becomes truly poisonous. As I elluded to in the second article, the Sun is now blaming Europe for this ruling yet there is no connection whatsoever. That is concerning to me.
