Michael Howard's pronunciation of people

I've often seen it written that Michael Howard's pronunciation of 'people' sounds odd to many Brits (presumably to those who don't share it). I've never heard him say it so I'm curious. What is it in phonetic terms that has arouses such interest. Better still, has anyone got a sound clip?

The leader of the British Conservative Party. There are also definitely more than 2 people called George Bush, but everybody knows who we're talking about. ;-)
