Lembit Opik talks to the Shropshire Star

My favourite newspaper has an interview with the Lib Dem MP for Montgomery:
Mr Opik said: “I didn’t set out to have a high profile as an MP but it’s kind of ended up that way."
There is also a video of Lembit to watch.

I thought he'd been told to shut up by the party hierarchy so god only knows why he's putting his foot in it yet again. HUGE mistake talking about expenses being a "secret salary". Not going down well at all - see comments.
Also, as always, with Lembit, his hypocrisy shines forth. I guess he's such a narcissist he doesn't get it that if you lie down with dogs etc......And as for this finding god rubbish! Of course, he sees no problem with being happy clappy and also writing for a despicable porno rag....Yet again, he shows himself incapable of lying low and if he wants to retain his seat, that's precisely what he must do. Or perhaps, as others have pointed out, he really does have a death wish

Not a LibDem then, Anonymous.

As for the party hierarchy telling any member what to do, I refer you to ex-whip Lord Tyler's reference to herding cats.

I think you'll find that many people in the party have had enough of Lembit and his antics. Witness the lack of votes for this Idiot in the presidential election. Also, take a close look at his expenses - more than dodgy.
And do you really think that his column in the Sport is acceptable?Frankly, he's an embarrassment.....

Some Estonians have started a Facebook group urging Lembit to stand for Estonia's parliament in the 2011 elections...!?
