according to the BBC news website an MP was suposedly 'bugged' by the security services whilst visiting a personal friend who is suspected of having Taliban links ...see story BBC NEWS | UK | Probe into police 'bugging' of MP

seems to me if every 'civilian' is liable to phone tapping and such if suspected of criminal wrongdoing , why should MP's be exempt ? history shows that some of the biggest traitors to the British Crown/Govt. have been 'Honorable Members of the House of Commons' including Tom Driberg on the far left to Oswald Mosley on the fascist right ,(neither of whom faced criminal prosecution) so why should this MP or any other be exempt from surveilence ? . You can be sure Gerry Adam's, Bernadette Devlin and the rev Ian Paisley's phones and activities were monitered during the 'troubles' in the 70's so whats this guy upset about ? and why the outrage from other MP's. ?, ....
