Then the general public lap it up and enjoy criticising the victims of the crime, whilst hardly a word is said about the criminal hacker.
We live in a society of weird moral values.
Very well said boot.

You miss my point, the money is immaterial, the statement you made suggested that an individual was personally financially astute, I merely pointed out that, that may have not been the case.

Well he has done the charity work whether it was just to be knighted or not its more than many of the recipients of a Knighthood have done.
How could he of been so stupid to of put his thoughts on matter in a email.
I still think he's a good chap.

To be fair, it was a private email so he should be free to speak his mind ...as was pointed out earlier, the real scandal is the hacking of his private emails

Fair enough, I think he has been shrewd, either in the decisions he took or the advice he followed, but he may have just been lucky.
I don't see many other top footballers who go on to develop their careers after they finish playing to the same extent as Beckham, or to do as much for charity as he has.

So by that argument do you also think any girl who walks home alone late at night and gets sexually assaulted must be stupid.....

We all know perverts are out there

A lot safer than the post where dozens of people handle that private letter.......phone calls recorded...friends we've trusted with secrets....etc.

We've always trusted the above.

How would you suggest he communicate then ? Letters phones all risky too.
