The BBC reports that the Labour party has finally named the list of the people who were tapped for "loans" rather than declarable donations to the tune of nearly £14.
Unveiled - Labour names lendersLabour has published details of the almost £14m in secret loans from wealthy businessmen. The list was unveiled after it emerged that some of the lenders were later recommended for peerages.
Rod Aldridge - £1m
Richard Caring - £2m
Gordon Crawford - £500,000
Professor Sir Christopher Evans - £1m
Sir David Garrard - £2.3m
Nigel Morris - £1m
Sir Gulan Noon - £250,000
Dr Chai Patel - £1.5m
Andrew Rosenfeld - £1m
Lord David Sainsbury - £2m
Barry Townsley - £1m
Derek Tullett - £400,000Total £13,950,000
Lord David Sainsbury (£2 million) - what on earth is a Government Minister (for Science) doing donating or lending lots of money to the Government party ?
Would this supermarket businessman, have kept his ministerial job, or even have been appointed to it in the first place, had he not been a financial backer of the Labour Party ?
Rod Aldridge (£1 million), is the chairman of Capita Group plc, who have been given Government contracts for repressive NuLabour mass surveillance and database projects such as the Criminal Records Bureau, the London Congestion Charge, both of which which have gone over budget at the taxpayers expense, but shich Capita had the taxpayer over a barrel, and could not be kicked off the projects. They also collect the controversial BBC TV Licence fee.
With so much of his personal fortune and that of his company dependent on fat Governemnt IT contracts, perhaps it was a "forced" loan ?
It must really hearten traditonal working class Labour voters to see that their party is funded by the likes of Richard Caring (£2 million) who owns, amongst other things, The Ivy and Le Caprice, some of the most expensive and snobbish restaurants in London, which, of course, have been "reviewed" by Ken Livingstone.
