Yep

Far better to be reliant for funding on public sector unions which you then lavishly reward once in office.

I know they need to raise money, surely there are more dignified was to do it.

Grubby little money spinner story won't go away - calls to return the money.

Will they? I doubt it.

£160k more Russian money now in the UK then. Works for me.

Being used to help the Tories win the next election no doubt.

More than a bit demeaning for the PM and Mayor.

I agree, this is small beer compared with the Tory paedos scandal.

Well demeaning is in the eye of those making the judgement, and for me, there's absolutely nothing demeaning about it. Not even slightly.

Really? What on earth would they have to do for you to see it as demeaning then?

Dance for tips in a pub? Give blowjobs to truckers for a fiver a go?

I now have Tina Turner's Private Dancer going around my head...

I'll be your private dancer, a dancer for money, I'll do what you want me to do

Not really. Its all part of the job description...and always has been. You are just ignorant of that.

I'm not ignorant of anything. I doubt Vlad Pootin or Obama plays tennis for money.

Or the Labour Iraq dossier scandal. I wonder how many people that's left dead now.

I think paedos trump dodgy dossiers.

You can't be serious, that 'sexed up' dossier was used to justify a war on another country which killed tens if not hundreds of thousands of innocent men women and children. Get a fvcking grip..

If we hadn't gone in the Yanks would have anyway. Ed Miliband voted against the war in a Iraq, unlike the majority of Tory Mps. They certainly aren't the first politicians to have lied about something.

Tony Blair was a madman but is now long gone, is this true regarding the paedos.

Oh I didn't realise, that's ok then.

No idea, the only 2 I've seen named are dead so considerably more 'gone' than your man Blair. Supposedly there are 20 on 'the list', are they all Tories like you are trying to imply? I've no idea. The fact this has remained buried in Westmister rumour for 30 years suggests to me this is a disgrace stretching across party lines; do you really imagine an 'innocent' party could have resisted a public enquiry when in office if 'they' were clean? Really? I couldn't care less about their politics so long as the guilty and complicit get the fvcking book thrown at them. Fat chance.

The Cameron backed invasion of Libya has hardly been an unmitigated success. Given the nature of the British press this hasn't been analysed to the Nth degree.
