This issue about bugging MP's won't go away and they do seem to be getting annoyed. Surely if they've nothing to hide they've nothing to fear?

thought-provoking at Nick Robinson's blog. Before I read it, I'd immediately thought of MPs immunity as another example of all animals being equal, with the pigs being more equal. There are some very rational points made; it's just a shame that the position of MP seems to attract, or create, some of the least competent and most selfishly grasping in our society.

Honourable exceptions there are, of course; Frank Field always seems a decent sort with a firm grasp of principles.; February 06, 2008 3:31 pm

Yes there are a few honourable exceptions and I agree Frank is one of them.

Sadly the good ones let themselves by not roundly condemning those who let them down.; February 07, 2008 8:18 pm
