<<I heard an interview on the radio, where the thrust of the person's
argument was that based on our unwritten constitution, "In theory MPs should
be subject to the same laws as everyone else, but in practice, they
shouldn't".>>
No, this entirely misses it. The MP had not broken the law. If he had, as
Galloway has repeatedly said (and he said it again in last night programme
http://www.spiderednews.com/GeorgeGalloway.htm?vid=856483 )
it would be right and proper that he should be arrested, subject to
permission for the execution of the arrest and/or surveillance, by the
Speaker.
It is illegal for the state to invade Parliament, which is what happened. It
*must* have been executed on the orders of Gordon Brown. The Speaker was
grossly out of line, whether he gave permission or didn't stop the invasion
(which included the Police confiscating love letters of Green to his wife).
If the Police have the power to bar embarrassing information from
Parliamentary discussion then we have a Police State. I suggest you listen
to the entire programme.
