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.
Yes, delicious irony....

Mark,
ReplyDeleteYes 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.
