Should MP's be "Bugged"  ???

With reference to today's news regarding accusations that an MP was "bugged" when he went to meet one of his constituents.We have more CCTV cameras than most other places, yet they can't catch criminals!In today's society when we are all susceptable to having our telephone convesations listened to. Our personal details are known to far too many people, and some of these records lost into the bargain when security companies misplace laptops and so on. In the past the banks have been accused of leaving details of account holders in rubbish bags(not shreaded). We can't withdraw much money from the Bank without providing passports, driving licence and so on.  If one wishes to deposit money in the Bank they want to know where it came from!The crooks and con men will always find a way around all of the above, it's the ordinary citizen who is inconvenienced!When our personal details on can be scrutinised by a great number of bodies, why, therefore, should the MP's be exempt from scrutiny?I don't think I would put much trust in many MP's today!  They need to be more transparent and, needless to say.....more HONEST!Jean

In the week that Conway is suspended for Nepotism it is rich that MPs reckon they should be free from scrutiny.

Yes. They should be.  Why can one guy say I made the law and I had forgotten - Jeff Hoon, gosh he has gone was that his name and who is that scottish bird who says I have done nothing wrong but actually made the law that did her in and STILL she will throw the towel in.  I have killed 150 people in last three days - no no no I did lie, I do not need to resign I am not Fumous and have no power - help that might be one of the reasons I have killed 180 people in the last five days - now there you are one just cant remember can one, it blurrs with the chamers, on an mps pension, hic sorry wage we all know where we are, darling ring the bell and ask nurse who we are

"I don't think I would put much trust in many MP's today!  They need to be more transparent and, needless to say.....more HONEST!"Couldn't agree more Robert - our poor MPs are going through a hard time at the mo. Is business life getting more dishonest than it was years ago? I get the feeling it is. Sad really.  :-(

Life in general probably is with everybody treading on each other to get a further rung up the ladder.  After all what has happened to manners and politeness and queues.  Just seems to be a mad scrum with just the occasional glimpse of the better aspects of old times.

With the exception of the Palace of Westminster and domestic matters I see no reason why MPs should not be bugged.Prisons, courts of law, and police stations are fair game for "bugging".
