If a judge has ruled that MPs' home addresses should be in the public domain, may I also suggest that as someone who is paid by the public purse, that the home addresses of judges are disclosed also.
It is hard enough to find MPs who will run with contentious issues as it is, it will become impossible from the day of publication onwards - another death knell for democracy and fair representation.
Remember the tragic incident in Cheltenham in 2000, when the Lib-Dem MP Nigel Jones was conducting one of his surgeries - he was attacked by a crazed constituent with a Samurai sword. The MP's assistant subsequently died in the attack from horrific injuries.
Some MPs live alone, many live with spouses, partners and young children.
Abortion issue aside, I have had two cases of ‘un-balanced obsessed’ constituent’s which have involved the police over the last year. On one occasion, when one turned up un-expectedly at a surgery, I had to ask a member of the public to stay with me as I was so afraid of being left on my own with him.
Being high profile in the local media has been the reason cited, however, what do I do? Bunker down in my office and not do the work?
The judge who made that ruling has displayed a total lack of understanding and I hope it isn’t a decision he may one day come to regret.
