I actually don't like these 'traps' by journalists and investigators.

It also seems, as it unfurls more that under current rules neither have really done anything wrong.
Even though is sounds dodgy and seems both unsavoury and unnecessary.

I wll wait for the standard committee before I condemn on this one.
I agree with Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg that the issue of 2nd jobs has to be looked at and even maybe curbed.
If some people going into Parliament cannot accept that then simply don't stand for election.

I am sorry because these are 2 MPs I have a liking for,they have both held high office and it elaves me more and more wondering how MPs now don't smell a rat as to these entrapments by journalists.

All MPs, regardless of status in their parties, need to be on the lookout for this happening because even if in the end you have done nothing wrong, and it will take months before we learn if there is any wrongdoing at all as to what these 2 have been involved in here, the mud smeared by the entrapment sticks long after after any clearance of wrongdoing.

MPs have become a shady bunch in the eyes of the elctorate but for me, journalists and programme makers are even lower in their means at times.

Would I trust an MP or a journalist, I would trust the MP everytime over them,for me journalism by the actions of so called professional journalists just about has soiled the whole profession.
