    I mean, how many white pedophiles constituants has this guy been to see?
    In the end, that MP should be done for racism!

    You would have to find out how many of his childhood friends where/are pedophiles and also his constituants.

    This is possibly a non story at worst it is twisted reporting.

    I think you will find that it is standard practice in prisons to record visits on a random basis. So it was the prisoner who was being bugged and not the MP. The fact that initial reports said "may" have been bugged suggests that these random bugs "may" have caught him out.
    I am sure as the blokes MP he could have asked for a private meeting and the prison would have made sure no bugs were present.

    Storm in a tea cup. Mountain out of molehill. Much ado about nothing.

    I may be wrong, I may have missed some news.

    Like the NatWest bankers... who suddenly 'fessed up when extradited & confronted by a more robust judicial system?

    Maybe all MP's should be bugged at all times to dissuade them from carrying out illegal acts e.g. accepting donations, expense fiddles, etc. etc.
    They are. Apparently MI5 has a department that does nothing else but monitor MPs and senior civil servants. Although I think in the 60s there was some kind of agreement that MPs wouldn't be bugged in certain circs.

    "police may have flouted convention" - is that all?

    police happy to break law when dealing with joe bloggs - about time MPs got treatment. they get loadsofmoney and expect to be treated differently from the rest.

    Guy Fawkes was right.
