THE SAINTLY MARTIN

How nice it was to see Martin Bell on the BBC's Politics Show talking about MEP expenses. It's especially touching that he was filmed down the line from London, yet his whole candidacy is based on being committed to Norfolk and Suffolk. So committed is he that he doesn't even live here. Indeed, I am told that since his campaign was launched he has spent less than two days in the area. Obviously not househunting yet...
