MPs? Or Tabloids?

Via Guido, a quote from Tom Watson on modern MPs:
"They have no predators, they are untouchable, they laugh at the law, they sneer at parliament, they have the power to hurt us, and they do with gusto and precision…"
What's that you say? That he was actually talking about tabloid newspapers? Really? I can kind of see how his words might be applied to newspapers, but they are a far more apt description of our ruling class...

You're not the only one who thought the same.

When he kept saying we, he was clearly talking about MPs.

Sod the electorate. They can be spied on to their hearts content. They are just plebs.,
