Ain't No Angels
The Herald reports today that Glasgow-based lawyer - Paul McBride - has criticised MPs at the forefront of investigations into the phone hacking scandal - of 'nauseating and irrational behaviour'.
Good for him - because that's an apt description of how some of these 'moral crusaders' have been conducting themselves of late - see post dated 13 July 2011: 'Much to be Modest About'.
Leading advocate Paul McBride says in today's paper:
"The nauseating spectacle of Keith Vaz apparently acting as a moral lightning rod for press freedom has only been dwarfed by the equally repellent Chris Bryant and Tom Watson, whose visceral hatred of the Murdoch group is bordering on the pathologically irrational.”
By all means let's have MPs speaking up on behalfof the public - but at least some of the characters trying to lead the charge - ain't no angels themselves.
And if Paul McBride's comments are anything to go by - at long last they're not getting things all their own way.
