Hypocritical Liebour
Two Liebour MPs have asked the Electoral Commission to investigate eighty Conswervative MPs over donations from “patrons clubs”.
They said that the Conservative MPs will end up paying back thousands of pounds of donations but the Conswervatives reckon that Liebour has received £2m in donations from “patrons clubs” themselves!
This is a truly pathetic attempt to divert attention from Peter Hain’s criminal failure to declare £103,000 in donations, some of which were illegally donated via a third party without the donor’s consent.
But perhaps there’s an ulterior motive at work here. How many Liebour MPs and MSPs have been caught taking illegal donations or not declaring donations? Four or five? And why would Liebour MPs shoot themselves in the foot by asking the Electoral Commission to investigate donations to the Conswervatives from “patrons clubs” when they have received far more in donations from the same type of Liebour-supporting groups? Could this be a deliberate attempt to bring so much disrepute to Westminster that the public will be convinced of the need for state funding of political parties?
If criminal convictions don’t come out of this then serious questions need to be asked of the Electoral Commission and the Metropolitan Police, both of which have so far failed to secure a single conviction for serious fraud committed by Liebour MPs.

No, this is a good thing, it will seriously damage all mainline parties!
I think the guys that reported it are too stupid or maybe to clean, for their own good, it will bring the whole crumbling edifice down. hopefully on top of their heads.
January 17th, 2008 at 3:20 amNo, I think Wonko’s absolutely right, they see it as a means of getting state funding of political parties. But only of the well-established parties of course, we won’t be allowed to have embarrassing small parties which tell the truth and represent real people’s interests.

January 17th, 2008 at 8:26 amSurely, serious questions need to be asked of the Electoral Commission and the Metropolitan Police anyway?
The whole sorry affair is ridiculous. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hain and his comrades come under heavy criticism, whilst the Conservatives are cleared. Certainly the outcome I’ll be hoping for.
I don’t think this will make any serious damage as far as the public are concerned though, as even if they do give a shit, it’s unlikely to be reported particularly emotively by the tabloids, is it?
