Blunkett's notepaper slip-up
- 14 Oct 05, 12:00 AM
From yesterday's Independent, one of those stories that comes along only once in a blue moon, where you can almost taste the irony: .
"Mr Blunkett wrote to Wandsworth council, in south London, about the impact a proposal to build new flats and houses could have on the local environment. The money raised from the development is to be used to pay for £4m worth of improvements to the nearby Linden Lodge School for the blind and partially sighted."
Um, except that the "local environment" is, well, Blunkett's second home in London.
Altogether now: oops.

So is it that he simply didnt realise, or that hes ungrateful enough not to help others?
