Blunkett's notepaper slip-up

From yesterday's Independent, one of those stories that comes along only once in a blue moon, where you can almost taste the irony: Blunkett used Commons paper to oppose deal which helped blind school.

"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.
