So it's about money – good luck to Sun
Your sensational headline "Thousands complain over naked Harry pic" (August 29) was technically correct but 3,600 complainants is hardly the end of the world and certainly does not justify a shock horror headline.
Who are these sad people anyway? They cannot be regular Sun readers – I cannot imagine them being shocked by such trivia – so did these people go out and buy a copy of the newspaper so they could complain? It seems that way.
Everyone in the world with access to a computer can view these photographs online but the cowed British press dare not print them.
This is ludicrous and the Sun editor must be congratulated for his decision to publish them.

Lord "Two Jags" Prescott – who is considered by some of his former colleagues to be a class traitor for taking a seat in the Lords – said of the Sun's decision: "It is all about money, money, money".
Why not? It is about selling newspapers. Good luck to the Sun.
The noble lord is not slow himself where money is concerned. His excuse for excessive spending on a Government credit card was that it had been cloned.
As Mandy Rice-Davies famously said during the Profumo inquiry: "Well, he would, wouldn't he?"

“What did we really expect from this 'Red Top' part of the gutter press. I'm amazed after all the shenanigans of Murdoch and News International that folk are still supporting this newspaper.”

“The only folk who came out of this badly were Royal security, and possibly the momentary judgement of Harry himself. Everyone else was just doing what you would expect them to do. In today's media storeys have a very short shelf life, and this one's probably expired. Our privacy is being continually invaded by technology, why should the Royals be any different.”

“I agree Don, it is about money, but that wasn't the reason given for publication by the Sun, who cited 'freedom of the press' and 'public interest', etc, etc. I would have more respect for News International if their editorial had admitted that they'd simply published to sell more papers, but there is no such honesty or integrity, even though it's clear their motive was to publish first and make hay before someone else pipped them to it. Nothing more, nothing less.
The real irony is that pictures of (the Prince's) antics like these are posted daily on Facebook - if this was Harry, a car mechanic from Huddersfield partying in Ibiza, nobody would have been the slightest bit interested, except maybe the participants themselves, once sober again...”
