Just the kind of Tory to drive Cameron to drink.

What an amazing interview by Tory MP,Anthony Steen, who exploded with anger at any suggestion that his expense claims were unreasonable.

His comments encapsuled everything the average joe perceives about the Tory gentry, arrogant, unfeeling and completely in a world of his own. Steen suggested that critics were jealous of his home, which resembled Balmoral.



More amazing were his assertions that Ministers had 'mucked up' the system by introducing the Freedom of Information Act and that the public 'have no right to interfere in my private life'.

No right? Whose money does this stupid man this he was spending? £87,000 of OUR money to be precise on maintaining his idyllic estate. And the suggestion that MPs should have been allowed to continue creaming off the cash unimpeded by some intrusive law.

For all that David Cameron is pushing his new Tory 'Jerusalem;, there are some party elders who will never change..and more than you think.
