Anon 18:00: A random list?

Do behave. Keep them "random lists" coming anyway. Always exciting to have a mystery pen pal, albeit mr anon eunochio.

These two comments have managed to appear in reverse order which is a good trick.

PS: Pentagon and Lewis Chester certainly are likely to form a splendid story any time soon. I have a little dossier building up since your last mention a couple of weeks ago TBNGU.

This is the one I'm expecting to see a lot more of soon.

There have been quite a lot of hedge fund managers giving donation to the Conservatives - many of whom are close to Cameron. Today's article by Will Hutton in the Observer demonstrates amply how hedge funds are currently supoorting our economic interests.

Exactly what allegations have been made?

You seem to have drawn sinister conclusions from a simple random list.

2008-06-29T17:37:00.000+01:00

Can you not read anon? I asked you for two things.

1. And explanation for inclusion of the Labour PPC in Rochdale. Rather gives the game away wouldn't you say?

2. For you to use you own name if you are going to make allegations.

You have scored 0%. And neither of the lists you provide are comparable with the majority of the Tory sleazesters on my little list.

Have people just come to accept Tory sleaze so much that Hammond (£2.7M undeclared); Osborne (£500,000 undeclared); Duncan (£158,000 and a big job undeclared) can just shrug and say "We're Tories, what do you expect"?

Re the Mail story. This was not taken down until at least late afternoon as I kept checking it was there. My update about it was posted at 15:33 at which point it had probably been up for 15 hours or so.

It has no Google cache as the cleaners have been in. I wouldn't be sharing a cache of it myself on here as I don't have any evidence to support Oborne's allegation that vitol itself rather than their President and chief executive supported his office costs via CCHQ.

As seen in the blog post.

Presumably Vitol Group do trade in the UK and would not in any case be an ineligible donor for non travel costs.

I suspect that Oborne and The Mail have done this entirely on purpose, do have some evidence, would welcome legal proceedings.

But that is pure speculation on my part.

The words used by Oborne stuck out like a sore thumb to any careful person following this story.

I hope I've caught any early carelessness on my own blog from early doors over Vitol vs Taylor.

The only evidence we have is that Taylor gave £158,000 to the Tories that he insists was passported through to Oily Duncan. And that Vitol own 40% of arawak and that Duncan appears to have a currently undeclared directorship with the latter.

Thanks anonymous 13:08 ... though it must be siad that this is a rather curious list of yours. Simon Danczuk? You are going to explain that one aren't you? Preferably using your own name for once. As I do when I make my point.

There are a good number of other incongruous names on your list also. Every one of mine is either a parliamentarian or an ex-, barring Iain Dale who is not guilty of anything except falling in with derek Conway and David Davis.

Chris. I could have sworn the Mail was running an Oborne article re the Tories, sleaze and Cameron this morning. It's disappeared now, and I can't find it. Am I mistaken? If not, have you got it to share?

It's a great pity that you're such a useless leftie.

That queer icon of politics, Iain Dale, has done this sanctimonious piece of drivel on Wendy Alexander.

But when he's challenged on the position of Caroline Spelman - whose fraud is more heinous than that of WM - he pleads "it's a girl's prerogative".

Politics shouldn't have the morality of a elderly queen's knocking shop, especially if the individual has served time working for David Davies and doesn't think he's a complete prat.

The Labour Party has been handed a dildo to beat the fuck out of Cameron.

Get to it.
