This bugging seems to have hit a raw nerve with MP’s of all parties and for the life of me I cannot see why.

They are bleating on about the rules of the “Wilson Convention” having been broken. It’s not a law, just some directorate or other. Most likely no more than a gentlemen’s agreement when it comes down to it. It has to be said that the World has changed since this Convention was draughted.

What the hell makes an MP feel that the law/surveillance regulations should be applied differently to them ? I’m asking because I don’t know, do the MP’s have a point. Where does the Diplomatic Immunity law start and end , does it just apply to foreign officials, does anyone know ?
