Guido, why don't those cunts at the BBC, having gorged themselves on our licence fee payments to produce their third rate online drivel, give you any credit for breaking this story? Nothing, not even a link.

Stanislav, you're a treasure.
You remind me of the time I got into a traffic dispute with a dusky Mediterranean type. Turkish Cypriot?
"English!" he shrieked. "I piss on you!"
Not wishing to be pissed on, I beat a hasty retreat.

Like Mendelsohn did for Gord*, Huw Roberts can't be much of a fundraiser if he resorts to dipping into his own pocket.

* The electoral commission's register of donees shows Mendelsohn made a £5k donation to Brown's campaign on 20/06/2007. Why might he have then donated £10k to Progress Ltd on 29/06/2007? His donation sticks out like a sore thumb in a sea of Lord Sainbury ones...

in response to excaliburs comments about my not paying taxes cos i dont approve what the bnp may spend it on. Sorry my refusal goes deeper than that, i will not fund a nazi party. and if there were any chance whatsoever that the bnp could claim just one penny of taxpayers money to fund their obscene doctrine it would be worth going to prison for.

Maybe Stanislav has been busy. Spying strangers. As for your finest insults, these will be the ones that go: you are a wanker, or, wanker, or, fuck off you wanker. The absolute elby tour de force is I'll kill you you fucking wanker. This is heady stuff. What fun you and Mr Electric Kettle must have together, you being a six feet six vagrant with a grade C O level in English, and Mr Electric Kettle being so sensitive.

It is obviously hard for you, having to live in hostels, consumed by unfathomable grievance. Unfathomable means very deep Mr Elby. Like what you're not. So deep in fact that you can't measure it. Best thing is go and get the last of the beans and chips before some other resident has them and pop over to Lillith's. She'll probably tell you about her best one hundred Boney M songs and Mr Electric Kettle'll be there bleating about Mrs Electric Kettle and all the little Electric Kettles. How can he choose between them and his blogging mission to the world? If he's not there you'll find him down the Cenotaph, doing some weeping. For the country. (Jesus, you people who speak English as a first language, do you have no shame over this warmed-up shit that you post, these empty cliches hoisted from magazines, this mindless unlettered ignorant targetless ranting. Its no wonder that Hain and Co shit in our faces, if people like you are the opposition, how they must laugh. Down the house of commons: That numbskull Enby, he said wanker again, He said what ? Never, he didn't say wanker did he? Again? Fuck me, Sir Gus, elby saying wanker, time to panic. And the awful thing is that Guido world sparkles with wit and erudition, with righteous anger, with painstaking, investigative citizen journalism and, especially on caption day, excruciatingly sharp one- and two-liners. And then, also, there is you. There are ranters here whose bile spills joyfully off the screen, hot and righteous; others wax bittersweet, sorrowful and lamentatious. And then, also, there is you, shouting wanker like a schoolboy. There is Patriotism outraged, Decency offended, there is incredulity and an urge to vengeance. There is the wry and the imaginative, the fanciful; the scholarly and the eloquent, lampoonery, spite and satire. And then there is you.

I must have missed all those friends of yours who -what was it again? - twatted me off. It will be, though, a long, cold day in Hell before you could string together even a tiny phrase that would ruffle the feathers of the humblest Polish plumber. You should treat this patient reproach as the first step in the education you so sorely missed. Print it up and stick it on the wall. Along with your pictures of Jordan and Kylie Minogue.

If 6here is a tide in the affairs of man I do hope you and yours are not it.

There is one redeeming and darkly amusing feature to all this stupidity and that is the idea of somebody like Mr Electric Kettle having a blog; poor Polish plumber far too modest. And got job to go to anyway.

Anonymous @ 8.07pm,

The last time this was talked about, the plan was to limit the funding to parties with two or more MPs, thereby keeping undesirables out of the cozy scheme and keeping it all in the family.

So, no Respect, UKIP, BNP or independents.

As for not paying taxes because you don't approve of what they are spent on, good luck, you'll need it.

2007-12-03T20:07:00.000Z

a serious question was raised in an earlier post, if government were to decide on the political funding issue, to come from the tax payer, does it mean that the BNP get funded as well? if so i give notice i will not be paying anymore taxes.

Guido, you are a total STAR :-)

Ya daft bugger, these are exactly the same maths as they have been using for the UK economy for the last 10 years!

FAO Anon 6-06

I am as equally bewindered as yourself - but I spotted a wonderful commentary the other day posted by a certain Hungaro-Tory.

You could do the same a me if you like and play spot the thread bingo - simply down a short for every thread commented on during an evening.

hick hick! Stay Happy!

1. David/Dave Abrahams/Martin aged 53/63 recluse/bigmouth secretive/calls Newsnight live.
2. Ray Ruddick 190k donor to Labour who has never voted in his life and hates all politicians
3. Janet Kidd, secretary and serial donor of other people's money.
4. Janet Dunn - long time Conservative supporter who was registered as a Labour donor to the tune of £25k
5. Peter Watt - Labour's former chairman, most senior party official responsible for ensuring Labour complied with electoral law and regulatory requirements surrounding party donations. Made a terrible oversight. Sacrificed as a scandal firestop last Monday.
6. Jack Straw - incorrectly claimed that Peter Watt was the only person in the Labour Party who knew of the dodgy donations. Incorrectly portrayed 'Dave' Abrahams as a fringe character not well known in Labour circles.
7. Harriet Harman - in receipt of £5,000 from proxy donor Janet Kidd after her successful Deputy leadership campaign had finished. Subsequently proved to have illegally failed to declare loans of £40k related to this campaign.
8. Jon Mendelsohn - Gordon Brown's chief fund-raiser who wrote a hand-written note to Dave Abrahams that was sent on the Saturday when the scandal broke. Also donated £5k to Peter Hain's Deputy Leadership campaign which went unregistered. Now in a furious war of words with Abrahams about his endorsement of the secret donations.
9. Peter Hain - failed to register a donation - see above.
10. Chris Leslie - headed Gordon Brown's leadership campaign and is said by Harriet Harman to have suggested to her to accept money from Janet Kidd.
11. Baroness Jay - warned Hilary Benn off accepting money form Janet Kidd for as yet unexplained reasons
12. Jack Dromey - husband of Harriet Harman and Labour Treasurer - probably complicit in Harriet's illegal loan non-declaration but claims complete concealment in respect of everything else
13. Douglas Alexander - Transport Minister at the time when Abrahams was seeking planning permission.
14. Wendy Alexander - head of Labour in Scotland. Lied about not being aware of an illegal donation. Signed thank you letter caught her out. Desperately apologising and trying to tough it out.
15. Blair and Levy - all stems back to when they were in charge.
16. Lied on Newsnight. Refuted by Abrahams - see above.
17. Gordon Brown - failed to call the police despite known law-breaking. Mantra - "i know nothing"

Admittedly, I haven't been following closely.

If you have a problem.
If no one else can help,
and if you can find them,
maybe you too can hire the Hain team.

Hannibal - Hello, I couldn't make out your message, who is that?
GF I was calling about your undeclared donations to Peter Hain's campaign
Face - Who are you? What are you talking about?
Mr T - Hey, let me talk to the fool!

Rog: PS: I'm starting to lose track of just how many scumbags are being nailed at the mo.

Could somebody put up a summary web page or chart?

Rog is right - we need one of those old Sunday Times style graphics with big arrows all over it.
