I can't help but feel sory for William and Kate, such a lovely couple. I think this rag paper were scum for publishing those pictures, no one has the right to invade the privacy of another human being, its disgusting what this newspaper did.
 
Gutter press.

Though as intrusive as these pictures are there have been worse intrusions by the paparazzi. They have been gradually getting more out of control. The infamous Britney Spears meltdown played out in front of our eyes to the latest train wreck lifestyle of Lindsay Lohan.

Why people buy into this tripe is beyond me.

No ones pictures should be published like that but I think shutting down the paper is using a hammer to crack a nut.
The owners (who also own the English version of the tabloid) have decided to shut it down. POT, KETTLE , BLACK?

Fair enough, sack the editor who made the decision to publish the pictures but the rest of the employees are going to suffer now.

This is more about politics than it is about the dignaty of Kate Middleton.
 
William's mom Diana was hounded by paparazzi and she was being pursued by them when she met her tragic death. Now William's wife is being hounded by paparazzi who have taken photographs of her on private grounds 1/2 kilometer from the public road. If he has daughters are they also to be subjected to such hounding?

All the Irish Daily star editor Michael O' Kane can do is to trivialise the matter by twittering on about "pics" and "celebs".
 
The Star in Britain and the other tabloids in the UK are hardly in a position to make moral judgements on whether the pictures should be published. This is all about the Leverson inquiry and papers fear of going the way of the NOTW. Two years ago they would be rushing to publish them.

The editor should be sacked for pure stupidity in publishing these photos. I always wonder why the guy who who took the photo isn't prosecuted. Can I do the same thing to my hot neighbour when she decides to go naked in her back garden? Have a feeling I would be getting a knock on my door.
 
They'll have to shut down the Internet next. Kate's bangers are all over it now. Reading Broadsheet earlier and they now have a post about it and have published the pictures. They may not be profiting from it like a tabloid rag might but have they not just done exactly the same thing?!
 
why are we talking such an intrest in who prints photos of members of the brittish royal family!
 
The majority of people couldn't care less about the pictures. I do find the media reaction to be interesting. This is the same media who used to print these type of pictures including ones of Diana and who can forget the tie sucking antics of Fergie. Now they call it disgraceful. It shows the impact that the NOTW phone tapping has had on the media over there.
Also as much I couldn't care less about the Star newspaper, I do feel sorry who may lose their jobs because of a dreadful editorial decision.
 
Listening to the radio this morning it appears that the guy threatening to shut down the star is also the owner of an array of pornographic magazines and pornographic satellite TV channels.

You couldn't make it up.

I've never met them so I can't say that.

I don't read the paper although I understand it is nominally Irish with the O'Reillys having a slice.

The people concerned have embraced the "celeb cult" nonsense. That comes with a price, a downside. I don't see how they or their PRs, mammies and daddies can complain, because after all, as it says in Matthew 26:52 "... for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword".

Yer man's grandma is the boss of the Church that uses that book so as far as I am concerned they were fore-warned and should have been fore-armed.

Totally blown out of proportion, bordering on hysteria,a few fuzzy long lens snaps of what can readily be seen on any beach in the Canaries 365 days of the year and a paper is threatened with closure.

Seriously those offended need to get out a bit more,God forbid they ever stumble onto the interweb thingy.I genuinely fear they will physically explode with moral outrage if left unsupervised to surf for 10 minutes.
 
all BS, look at the facts, they picked a house viewable from the road, where was their security, they romped openly, they never complain when they are photographed being winched up a tree, crossing a bridge, taking shoes off in fact they are in the news for every bit of miniutiae. Its all much ado about nothing, it keeps the real news off the front page. If they are so dumb they cant organise proper privacy with all their millions then they deserve it. They cant have it both ways.

If the paper is shut down because of a few pics then god help us.

Eh, who is morally outraged about what the pictures show? That's not what the fuss is about. It's about the right of privacy.
