I think Lembit’s picking the wrong fight this week and completely misjudged the public mood; appearing on the front pages with a lingerie model in a desperate bid for attention, then calling for a privacy law for MPs a few days later? I can’t imagine he’ll get much sympathy with this pompous tirade at a time when most MPs are happy to be eating humble pie. Maybe it is annoying for an MP to be photographed by a member of the public while on recess – but to call for a privacy law?! Oh dear… time to get a grip.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
