The complaining dance

The Iain Duncan-Smith v Stephanie Flanders row has produced one piece of honest revelation - from a lefty in The Telegraph, of all things.

Here's the first par, from one Dan Hodges.

When I was working on the No to AV campaign, we convened a meeting to discuss when we would put in our complaint to the BBC. We didn’t actually have anything to protest about, mind. Nor did we have any reason to suspect we would have anything to protest about. Complaining about the BBC is simply what you do, like ordering phone lines and getting leaflets printed.

It's all good stuff. Dan is Glenda Jackson's son.
