a Times hack said:

His family spokesman said he would be going to spend time with his wife, Amanda, and his family "somewhere quiet," believed to be his 20-acre estate Hampshire estate in Bewly, the New Forest

It is Beaulieu, you moron!

Please, please don't let there be a place called Bewly in the New Forest too

That's nothing. I watched channel 5 news at five this evening and they interviewed Austin Mitchell about the MP's expenses rules. Underneath him was a large caption saying "Austin Mitchell Conservative MP."

No-one noticed and no correction was made.
