a greedy tax dodger has been bankrolling the Conservative party for 10 years having bought a seat in the House of Lords. He has saved himself over 100 million in the last ten years be refusing to declair his off-shore earnings. It has now come to light, due to the new 'freedom of information act'. 

He is funding Conservative spending in 'marginal seat' constituencies to try to win over the floating voter which in effect means that the tax payer is footing the bill. Its time we had a good look at the House of Lords (None elected types who have final say wether laws are passed or not, presented to them after being voted through the House of Commons) and weed out those privilaged that are ripping us off. In fairness there are some members representing ALL parties guilty of this practice but not to the blatent extent of this particular member.

Nobody wanted to reply to this Michael so I thought I would, but then you knew that beforehand didn't you? Lol

It's simple, he didn't want to upset you Labour boys by letting you see how rich you could become if you vote Tory! Ha, ha but I agree it needs sorting. There, thats as much as you are going to get out of me, so think yourself lucky, mate! Lol

As I mentioned before Ron I am not tied to any particular party, its just that I listen and make my own mind up. I (like so many) will vote for the party that I personaly will gain from. I wouldnt vote for a party that will make me worse off would I?

P.S.  The majority of MPs are out to feather their own nest that is why very few are in touch with what the ordinary Joe Public want.
