Steen nice and calm now

Central Office appear to have called Anthony Steen this morning:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8062786.stm

'he said critics of his expenses claims were simply "jealous" of his country house.'

Fed up paying for it more like.

'During the interview, the 69-year-old former barrister claimed ministers had "mucked up the system" by introducing the Freedom of Information Act.

He added: "What right does the public have to interfere with my private life? None." '

A simple over-reaction.

Nice to see he has his finger on the pulse of the nation.

Sounds about right, but didn't B'stard switch to New Labour? Most of them are pretty much interchangeable, as the current st-storm is demonstrating.
