Politician Bugged

So some politician has allegedly been bugged by the police while in a discussion with one of his friends. They are both Muslims - hence the paranoia. The rest of us have taken having our freedoms removed, and it seems that some of us have even supported it, now that it starts to affect politicians (the ones who have been removing our freedoms), there are calls for the re-instatement of civil liberties and the rights to privacy. Well what a surprise!
Perhaps the only way to remove the ridiculous 28 days incarceration without trial is to ensure that the first person to be the subject of such an action is an MP.

Reality check. MP's are people too. They are as likely to do bad things as anyone else - more likely perhaps, as they have both opportunity and motive. The law (good or bad) should apply to all the people in the same way.

Now we should see the next one who is caught being creative with their recording of funding for some campaign or other, or employing their family at unreasonable rates of pay, being arrested under the prevention of terrorism act.
