Government Break Laws, Then Make New Ones To Break
Greeaat…. not content with trying to make new laws covering the consumption of alcohol when the existing laws that are perfectly good enough go unenforced, Browns government are at it again.
Only this time, they need to make new laws because the laws that already exist have been broken by them.
The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, brought in by the Blair government, clearly states that any donations made to a political party must be open and transparent - it must be clear who has given a donation to the party.
So what do they do? The party that were going to end sleaze, the government that were going to govern, not take, have been taking brown envelopes stuffed with cash, passed on by people who have nothing to do with them or the donor, but are somehow considered friends by all.
These people live in council houses, on modest incomes, and no one at labour thought it was a tad odd they were bunging the current government £10k a pop? Huh?! Probably too busy searching for my everyones bank details they lost.
The whole thing doesn’t just smack of the dangerous cunning employed by morally bankrupt governments trying to cling to power anyway they can, but of absolute stupidity.
It gets better, Mr Abrahams also appears to be stupid. In an interview with the Guardian he said:
“Like sensible Lottery winners, I do not want my wealth to change the way I, as a working class boy, lead my life, or get in the way of my many friendships with people with a similar background to myself.”
Woah! David! If someone said to me, here’s ten grand, give it to Gordon Brown the last thing I’d be thinking is “this working class boy is solid gold!”. I’d be thinking, “what a rich bastard, who just happens to be acting like David Courtney”.
The prime minister is likely to tell the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee that funding needs tackling. When in reality he should probably just stop being a money grabbing thief. Gordon Brown is expected to promise to speed up new rules on party funding. Why? Who needs rules when common sense prevails? Don’t rip people off, don’t take with both hands and don’t be a money grabbing bastard. Why do people need to have written rules for things that are already against the law?
In a letter to the Met Police, Gordon Brown said he was “ready to assist” the police probe and had asked Labour MPs, staff and peers to “co-operate fully”. Jesus christ! Is this news?! Really? Of course he’ll co-operate, because otherwise he’ll be obstructing the course of justice, or does he need a rule to tell him that?!
