I thought the comments Alan Duncan (a far more stylish bloke than Mandy)were amusing along with those who were also secretly recording the Parliament dining room. Typical self-depreciating British humour.

We've always know most politicians have one rule for them and another for the proles but it's up to voters to ensure their polies don't get off course..or you get the politicians you deserve.

But the great thing it showed was how people can turn this technology back on the increasing snooping into everyone's private lives and the rapid expansion of CCTV with Britain now the most surveiled country in the world far outstripping all the old East Europe Soviet satelites or China today.

Why let dopey coppers see you filming them and risk encuring their wrath when you can secretly do it ?

(typical-the only footage available of the Great Jewelry Heist in Bond Street came from a passer-by's mobile phone. The rest of the cameras are seeking out roller-skating pensioners which will be me in a few months when I pass few London-I shall be skating up Oxford Street to see how far I get before Lilly Law clocks me)

Again, the media make a huge fuss over words said privately in jest. I was amused by one BBC reporters tone of voice when quoting the amount MPs are paid, as though suggesting that that we should think it far too much, and I wondered how much this reporter was receiving in wages via public funding.

Alan Duncan isn't the most diplomatic of people, and he's a bit too full of himself at times, but compared to those sitting opposite him he's quite an angel.
