Just when you think that Labour and the Left Wing media cannot become more hypocritical, along comes something else to prove just how stomach churningly hypocritical the whole pack are.
You will of course be familiar with the long term insinuations and suggestions made by Labour MPs, sympathisers and the general Left Wing media about Lord Ashcroft being a Conservative Party doner who is not domiciled in the UK for tax purposes ?
He has now confirmed that in fact he does pay tax on his UK earnings, but that has not stopped the likes of the Grauniad, the Mirror, the Independent, (and indeed a Labour MP writing in that paper) from shouting and bawling about how bad all of this is.
So may may be forgiven for thinking that Labour is whiter than white ?
Far from it, indeed the situation over Labour is far worse, and the stench of hypocricy is stomach churning.
A few facts that the Left Wing (and Labour) omit to reveal, and indicative of the moral values they hoild by virtue of that.
Fact
Lord Ashcroft attended the House of Lords at total of 285 times between 2001 and 2008. He never claimed a penny in expenses.
Lord Paul however the multi-millionaire Labour Non Dom attended 1047 times and claimed £281,263 - £405.58 a visit.
While Lord Ashcroft was setting up the extremely successful Crimestoppers organisation, Lord Paul was raiding the pension funds of hardworking British steel workers as a means of attaining his wealth and supporting Labour with donations :roll:
Fact
Lord Ashcroft has given £5,160,915 to the Conservatives since 2001
Lords Paul, Mittal and Cohen have given £6,734,250, indeed for £14m Mittal obtained the services of Bliar to lobby for his private company. The fact that everyone on the Left is keeping quiet about is that NONE of these three are domiciled here for tax, they pay NO tax to the UK. They are Non-Doms
So it is a scandal for a millionaire to give to Conservative Party funds, yet it is OK for NON-DOM Labour Lords to give more to Labour :roll::roll::roll:
Since 2001, Labour has accepted more than £10million from eight donors reported to be 'non-doms'.
Lord Paul has given £45,000 to Gordon Brown's leadership campaign.
A close friend of the Prime Minister and appointed to the Privy Council last summer, he once declared: 'If there is an election and the money is wanted, whatever I can pay, I will pay.'
Lord Paul was born in India and appears in 88th place on the Sunday Times Rich List with an estimated family fortune of £500millon.
He moved to London in the 1960s, taking over the overseas arm of the family's steel business. He and his family own several homes in a prime block near Oxford Street worth a total of £14million. It is thus rather difficult to see how he cannot be resident in the UK.
Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, said to be the third richest man in the world and reportedly a non-dom, has given £4.125million to Labour.
One of the world's leading private equity investors, Sir Ronald Cohen, who has handed Labour £2.55million, has refused to clarify his tax status publicly. Retired businessman Sir Christopher Ondaatje, who has given £1.7million to Labour, has refused to reveal his tax status but has been reported to be a non-dom.
Sir Gulam Noon, known as the Curry King for selling 1.5million Indian ready-meals a week in Britain, has given £532,826 to Labour, and is also reported to be a non-dom.
Other reported non-dom donors include former hedge fund manager William Bollinger, who has given £510,725, car dealer Mahmoud Khayami, who has given £985,000, and computer tycoon Dr David Potter, who has given £90,000
It would be nice to think that the same questions that were posed by those on the Left today will now be posed to Labour tomorrow. I for one however shall not be holding my breath as there are obviously very different rules for Labour donating Non Doms :roll:
