Who does the Daily Mail hate the most? European laws has got to be up there, right?

Well, the Daily Mail’s parent group have used some European law to their advantage.

The newspapers parent company has successfully invoked the Human Rights Act to stop other media outlets naming its journalists in respect to a phone hacking court case, reports The Guardian.

Prince Harry is one of a group bringing cases alleging widespread illegal behaviour by reporters at Associated Newspapers.

Harry flew in especially for the pre-trial hearing, taking notes at the back of the courtroom. 

73 journalists

In their claims they name 73 journalists and editorial executives who have worked at the Daily Mail and its sister titles over several decades who they claim have been guilty of wrong-doing.

Lawyers working for the Daily Mail said publishing the names would breach the journalists’ right to a fair trial under the Human Rights Act.

On social media the calls of irony has not gone unnoticed, as the paper groups campaigns against the European-derived legislation on a very regular basis.

Is there no limit to the hypocrisy of the Daily Mail?

Using the Human Rights Act to protect their own journalists when they would deny these rights to asylum seekers and refugees has to be a new low! pic.twitter.com/HeX3mBLh9i

The Mail lawyers have argued – successfully – that to name the journalists and executives would be an *invasion of privacy*. Jesus. As some of you may know I never use emojis, particularly not the crying laughing one, but I am for once sorely tempted. https://t.co/Ssi9xi66Cx

The irony – the Fail reaching for 'human rights' to protect its own…

These would be the same human rights they would be happy to deny to othershttps://t.co/VIHb2m0DKJ

This would be the same Daily Mail that constantly calls for the abolishment of said act. I guess I should be far from surprised at the hypocrisy.https://t.co/BcZD6NXJfx
