WHY the council's vendetta against the Keens?

How dare they take over their home - they should check out their own empty properties and also speculators purchasing cheap properties and leaving them empty until the prices improve, if they are so concerned about homeless needy people.

Ann Keen is not only our local MP, but also Under Secretary of State for Health Services since 2007 and before that Parliamentary Private Secretary to Gordon Brown since 2001 - these posts require unsociable working hours so accommodation near the House of Commons is not unreasonable.

They have a very modest home in Brentford and the council seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and justify their reasonable expenses during the past five years.
