Is that for real?? If it is, it reminds me of a Family Guy episode when Peter goes to the park to protest them building and ends up having a nice conversation and then walking away.

BBC - MP offered fake company Commons pass
So in reference to our recent discussion about the willingness of MPs to serve and the dichotomy between rule and service, we now have this. Another lobbying scandal.

We didn't really need these new press laws, either. I'm only going on a hunch, but I'm sure we already have laws against intimidation, stalking, wire tapping, fraud and police corruption (!)
It was the free press that uncovered this sort of thing. The culture of journalism needs to change, not the laws. But that's just me.

"Phone hacking" can be a legitimate part of investigative journalism if done in "the public interest". Has anyone here heard of the "Anglo Tapes", which have my countrymen (and some Germans) foaming at the mouth? However, hacking the phone of a murder victim or a random celebrity isn't going to serve the public interest.
Then again, you can argue that the targets of phone hacking, no matter who they are, have a right to privacy.

Well, The Scum championed a free press with a picture of Churchill and a few quotes attributed to him, conveniently glossing over Churchill's anger at the press freely commenting on the war during the 40s and his want for complete newspaper censorship, to be replaced by a state run national gazette, similar to the one produced during the 1926 General Strike.
Also, Ian Brady is staying in hospital. Thoughts?

He's a attention seeker. Plain and simple. He says he's on hunger strike, but has toast and soup on a regular basis, which he makes himself.
The country owes him nothing, and as long as he is holding out on vital information for the family's involved he should be made to live as long as humanly possible, and spend it in perpetual solitude.
