After Diana, Princess of Wales died there was a torrent of anger directed at Britain's press. Many people felt newspaper intrusion had ruined her life and led to her death.

Britain's press watchdog has published a new code of practice that it calls "the toughest in Europe". Britain's press are already covered by a code of practice - but many people point out that the code has been self-enforced.

Some say the situation is like putting a fox in charge of a hen house. Should there be a privacy law to prevent newspapers overstepping the mark? Can newspapers be trusted to abide by the code? Will the public boycott papers who break the rules?

Will newspapers stop snooping?

As far as I can see the public killed Diana....
