to think this is clearly a happy, happy marriage

[marryoneorbecomeone]

Nothing to see here, just a happy couple. The Daily Mail said so, so it must be a FACT.

Still standing better than I ever did

Cat I think that may be the botox

This is simply more typical Mail hypocrisy, since this couple don't in fact parade their children for the press.

How old is df? Those children are very young.

What a hideously passive aggressive article. It's not funny and it's not clever. Everyone knows what is being speculated at. Another example of the Daily Mail making money for doing nothing.

I think it's time to leave the couple alone.

Arfarf - exactly! They seem to be happy with their arrangement of what seems to be an 'open' marriage. They are just not happy with their sex lives being paraded around for all to see - included their very young children. Neither would I be, or - I bet - anyone on this thread. I think it' s perfectly reasonable to do what you can in your power to stop that.

Are you sure about that Augusta?

A quick Google would suggest otherwise. They don't need the money, they have no reason to sell stories and photographs of their children, they choose to.

bakeoffcake you are probably right .i just always think what a great singer .what you do behind your own front door is bugger all of my business .

I thinks it's less passive aggressive to the subjects of the article and rather more a giant fuck you to the Supreme Court.

Why slag of he Beckhams though?
You can like them or not, but they're not exactly bad parents are they?

If I started a different thread would that be a thread about a thread?

'Repeat after me'

The legal system in question is ridiculous! Especially when it doesn't even cover our borders, let alone the world!

But equally who defines the 'public interest' sparechange. In many cases scandals have come out after press investigation in which the public were very interested but elements of the establishment didn't consider to be in the public interest.
This isn't such an instance and I don't generally mean sex scandals.

Discussion over sparechange has spoken, repeat after her/him.

I agree it's completely ridiculous WeDo

Durham as I said up thread, those photos of the DC are very controlled and taken in private, probably by their own photographer. How do you k ow they didn't give the money to charity, (they are known for raising millions for charity).

They do not parade their DC around everyday hoping they'll get papped, like others do.

I don't know what they're do with the fees, they may well give it to charity but the point remains that they don't need to do those photo shoots at all if they value their children's privacy. Whether they keep the fees or donate to charity they have still sold photos of their children to the press.

I agree that the sessions appear very controlled and with the intention of portraying a perfect family life.

Anyone who finds that article in the least bit funny needs their sense of humour looking at.

It is what it is.

And its vile hypocrisy is second only to that shown by many people on this thread.

Some of whom are often very vociferous in their "wahhhhh I don't want to be outed/used by the Mail.Matthew Wright when I talk on a public forum about my husband's dick. I have an important (sic) job!"

I don't like superinjunctions. They are often a way for rich men to gag the voices of women. I don't think the law should be a tool for allowing rich and powerful men to sleep around and use people with impunity. Some of these poor women cannot even confide their emotional torment to a friend! Their truth has become a secret. They don't even have claim to their own lived experience.

No I don't think the controlled photo shoots are to portray a perfect family life, they are to ensure the children aren't hounded by press every time they walk down the street.

The fact they carefully control how the children are in the press would have had a bearing on the recent court decision.

Agree.
And I'm sure I read In this case the couple involved with the threesome were threatened with prison for opening their mouths

"all proceeds from the article will go to Elton and David's chosen charities"

QED.
