A Spiv Too Far
ConservativeHome sums up the David Rowland story thus:
The Daily Mail Sinks the Tory Treasurer
By Tim Montgomerie
First CCHQ announces that David Rowland will be the new Tory Treasurer.
THEN…
- The Daily Mail attacks his tax status: Former tax exile David Rowland is the new Tory treasurer
- The Daily Mail highlights his role in an environmental disaster: The dirty past of the former tax exile who’s the new Tory Treasurer
- The Daily Mail attacks his style of capitalism: The shady City past and friendship with Air Miles Andy of new Tory treasurer
- The Daily Mail attacks his private life: The new Tory Treasurer with a blonde in another snap he’d rather you (and party grandees) didn’t see
Fundraisers tend to have a bit more chutzpah than your average party hack (think sleazy Lord Levy), but Rowland (pictured here with a blonde not his wife) had trouble written all over him. The cleaning up of politics means parties will have to raise funds from their memberships, appeal to members, listen to the grassroots, represent their interests. It is just lazy to raise funds from a few plutocrats…
UPDATE : Just a thought: can you imagine the Daily Mirror going after a bent Labour backer with as much venom as the Mail went after Rowland? Can you imagine LabourList or LeftFootForward joining in the pursuit? The Mail has done the Tories a favour in the long term.

Oh dear.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
Here in Westminster, the David Rowland story is the talk of the hour. It seems that Lord Ashcroft and Michael Spencer had both warned Cameron that Rowland would come in for unfavourable coverage from the media if appointed and that they worried that other donors would not want to deal with him. I’m informed that they feared that his appointment could undo much of the work they had done to strengthen the party’s finances.
The media’s attention tonight is turning to the question of why David Cameron ignored the warnings about the controversy that this appointment would cause. Some senior Tories are questioning his judgement over the matter pointing out that the stories that have appeared about Rowland were entirely predictable. Cameron’s decision seems particularly odd when the strong state of the party’s finances mean that he could have afforded a far safer choice as treasurer.

I would have thought Guido loves the sleazy Lord Levy as they both admire the Israeli occupiers
Piss off, muzbot.
“David Rowland makes Lord Ashcroft seem like a nun,’ said one senior Tory source last night.”
Jizzlam! thats fucking excellent,i’m going to write the dialogue for a porn movie this instant.
Make a porno about Muslim strippers who wear burkhas by day but are strippers by night and who save the world for an evil zionist plot while having loads of sex with brave martyrs who help them and then the strippers get executed by imans under sharia law at the end of the movie
Might i play the lead?.
Heaven is full of mother Teresas
It has to include gratuitous porcine fellation
Followed through again Fatbott?
Too much of da chickellin riiice & da fooking peeea, toilets are down there and to the right.

The primary reason for browsing this thread was so that I could point out that the fucker looks like Ron Atkinson. Busted.

You know, the amount spent on Political lobbying would be distributed to us, the voters if we had direct democracy, instead of a couple of dozen landed gentry.
I met a UK Political lobbyist on holiday in France last week. He charges £2000 a hour just to fucking listen to you. Well, not to me of course. He got both barrels, free of charge.

Diane, please cut down on the riiiiiice and peeeea. Every time you step on a pavement, you cause an earthquake.
Can you imagine anyone giving a shit if it was just bloggers going after him and not a high circulation daily newspaper ?
So why is SKY news banging on about some Essex bint who got rat arsed on her honey moon and was so pissed that she fell off her balcony?
Are they expecting Sky viewers to chip in and bring her home or the UK Taxpayer?
Of course she could always let the Greek Docs fix her. The same medical standards apply throughout Europe don’t they?
You set the standards and we’ll get below them.

Well I’ll be blowed
Probably!
Is there anyone in politics that isn’t tainted?
I’m totally clean…
In a multiple choice selection of donors why would Camerkonk pick the trouble bubble? Owes him in other ways?
I did borrow his anus without asking once.
I’m totally clean…
we heard you the first time
I’m not clean.
bloody hell, we’ll be expecting our MPs to represent us truthfully in Parliament next
So a group of people enjoy some wine and one sits on another’s lap?
Wow, this is hair-raising stuff. For the 1860s. Christ, this barely qualifies as journalism.
Wahhhhhhhh 738,000 quid down the swanny. I better get a fucking peerage .
bring on ashcroft what
tories have all fucked off in a huff.
I voted tory as they were the lesser of two evils,does that make me a tory?.
It just makes you appear rather an idiot. There are other parties.
YOU SHOULDN’T BE PICKING ON US AFTER WE SAVED YOU FROM NASTY LABOUR EVEN THOUGH WE ARE JUST AS CORRUPT
WAHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Typical twat.
…And the rest of the criminal, corrupt degenerates can be found in this extensive thread: http://eotp.org/category/conservative-party/
Just what is Cameron doing? Where are the checks on these people?
Then you read that Lord Brittan is being appointed Trade Advisor! The man is no friend of this country having sold his soul to the EU! Goodness knows what wavelength Cameron and his people are on.
It will soon be time for those politicians of all parties who want out of the EU to get round the table and create a party which will achieve public support. Forget Ukip and the rest of the nitpicking lot. We need strong politicians such as Davies, Redwood. Tebbitt. Benn to lead a new centre right party.
I think we all know which side Leon Brittan bats for.
and how young
If you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas.
You’d need a flamethrower to delouse that motley crew.
The editors’ safes of Fleet Street are apparently bulging with information which they dare not use……
ANOTHER TRIUMPH!
Well done Steve Hilton and Oliver Nitwit.
You learned absolutely nothing from the Ashcroft debacle.
Sploot.
sorry Dave! you fucked royaly yet up again
maybe Nick can give you a hand job to cheer you up ?
Spilge.
calm down tat
you’ll wake your mummy again
Skrush.
Fucking hell Steve Hilton couldn’t run a free lemonade stall never mind a political campaign or party.
Give me a 5 man team on min wage, laptops, internet access, a board with a board pen and some of the daily broadsheets and tabloids and i could run rings round this noob.
yop
They have had the votes of people for the next 5 years and the Libdums are so happy to be near power they don’t give a toss what happens, our Dave the cast iron man is putting his mates in charge of various depts,so no change from Liebour then,the corruption carries on,remember cast iron Dave a vote is only for then length of the present Parliament and then can be used to vote in Li*ebour/UK*IP/BN*P, gawd help us the gree*ns.
What a fucking idiot.
Where’s that hilarious BrokeBack fellow who loves to post videos of Cameron? I can tell he wuvs me.
“can you imagine the Daily Mirror going after a bent Labour backer with as much venom as the Mail went after Rowland? Can you imagine LabourList or LeftFootForward joining in the pursuit? The Mail has done the Tories a favour in the long term.”
Maybe it has. However, under the ‘guidance’ of Dacre the Mail has detached itself entirely from even traditional Conservatives. The Mail has not supported the Tory Party for years – despite the loony left believing that to be so. As I see it, The Mail now occupies the slot vacated by The Mirror in its lurch to the left.
That may or may not be a good thing, but let’s have some clarity here about relative positions, eh?
Vote DECISIVELY to stop Britain walking blindly into disaster
Which brings us to the Tories. Certainly, the Mail has had its doubts about David Cameron, sometimes wondering if he was another Clegg-like heir to Blair.
But over the years and with every week of this campaign, he’s grown in stature, displaying serious-minded conservative instincts and a tungsten determination to fulfil the Tories’ traditional function of clearing up the mess left by Labour.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1272501/GENERAL-ELECTION-2010-Vote-DECISIVELY-stop-Britain-walking-disaster.html
They speak sense – still doesn’t make them slavish supporters in the same way the Mirror is with Labour
or like the Sun is with the Tories
Dacre is a Bilderberg lackey attempting to steer the Daily Mail into the role of propoganda sheet for the guinea pig nation. We are the NWO’s test tube babies. Mark my words.
yer fuckin got that right
Ohhh we’re done with them now, that was like foreverago!
Here’s the recap if you missed it.. We all (well most of us) came to the conclusion the free lunch free ride luvvie council are nothing but a herd of tax eating mongs.
So a thumbs up all round to the slash burn policy.
Sorry luvvies, you’ll have to get proper jobs like everyone else and actually start paying tax instead of eating it.
His Pal Kelly is obviously an intolerant bigot from the facist left.
That said I actually quite enjoyd this little vid, the guy has a bit of talent and he manged to produce this without any help from the taxpayer.
Well nobody in their right mind would give money to the Labour Party – whereas Conservative Party Treasurer is a plumb job.
A number of people were concerned about Rowland – should be no trouble finding a replacement.
If it’s such a great job why does Dave keep picking the dodgiest characters imaginable who end up pilloried in the press ?
Perhaps it’s a cunning ploy to rid the party of undesirables?
Lift ‘em up so they can be knocked down by leaked “exposés”.
I think that perhaps Dave, being an aristocrat, has a penchant for guttersnipes and Arthur Daley types like Rowland; very similar to one Tony Blair in that regard.
It’s called “slumming it”.
I am always ready to expose dodgy Labour fundraisers. They just don’t exist.
So, which drunken Daily Fail hack did he piss off?
Lord Ashcroft warns about David Rowland

I know better than him.

Oh the potential for hilarity an anal twat provides!
waiting for damage control.
I can hear them spinning up from here.
I’m not getting on that plane, fool.

City tycoon David Rowland gives more than £1 million to Conservative Party
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6810803.ece
Hmmm. Makes you hanker after good old Tony Blair doesn’t it? One million quid? That’ll do nicely.
I mean I can just about find a million in loose change down the back of the sofa at the moment. Couldn’t buy an index-linked 50K annuity for 1,000,000 at my age. Not to mention the invites to cricket at Lords, instant reservations at restaurants, automatic upgrades at George V, NEDs etc. Absolute fucking bargain.
Come on Dave – formalise the fucking arrangement like Blair did. Lord JG of M2. One million quid = 60 K income for life plus a veto on jackass legislation.
In fact, with interest levels at 0.5%, it behoves all of us to borrow a million quid and donate all of it to the Tory party. (Or the Labour Party – they could really use the money). 50K interest for a 60k annual index-linked Income PLUS expenses (eg mock-tudor beams) is, as they say, a ‘no-brainer’. Which is lucky for the environtmental advisor to China (Build 100,00 homes on the Thames valley floodplain) LORD John-shit-for-brains-Prescott.
Oh come on Dave. If they’re handing Lordships out to that fucking arsehole Prescott then surely a million quid of my cash is worth an annuity helping those jackasses in the red seats to see the idiocy of their ways.
I can, as usual, be contacted via GCHQ.
This offer is time-limited.
As I recall there was a bit of a whiff about Macalpine too.
oh come on you can stick it in better than that.
Guido was all over this story so it was only a matter of time.
What ??? He missed it entirely like the David Laws Scandal ? That can’t be right ??
Scandal ALWAYS boosts blog hits MASSIVELY so why would he ignore it ?
OH! he did a Gushing article about him instead.
Well that explains it.
Both are 6 months old zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Oh pleeze! You sad tosspot puritan.
A bloke at a party has a lady on his knee and poses for photo!
Wow – what its the world coming to.
Do you actually listen to yourself you sad git Guido?
I know – lets all let the taxpayer fund political parties! I am glad I do not have a bob or two so do not have to put my head in a noose to support a political party. The sad cretinous apologia of a newspaper that is The Mail runs these stories, peddles its agenda, and you cheer it on?
The good old dead tree press – you can;t manage without it can you Guido?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
you were warned and you didn’t listen
your mum didn’t say that when your dad did it.
Trev
It is a political gossip blog, do you really expect it to ignore spivvy multi-millionaire political donors who want to become party treasurers and mess with agreeable blondes who are not their wives?
Why do you come here?
Trev do you read the Guardian yes or no question?
Not sure I’d say she looks agreeable. More fishwife type.
Agreeable? You must have some reason for saying that, I presume.
Am I alone in being astonished that every successful A level student is of Pak1stani origin wears a frock and headscarf and speaks perfect Brummy?
Most news hounds are effnick Joes.we lost the meeja years ago
My younger brother highlighted the idiocy of the situation to me years ago. As some mid-ranking (and, by his own admission, utterly superfluous) functionnaire marvelling at the astonishing waste of money in the NHS he was wandering through the medical department of Birmingham university when his eyes lit upon the mid-term exam results of the medical students on the exam board. Of, say 200 students, not a single one was a ‘Smith’ or Jones’ or even ‘Wraklow’. They were all ‘Ms Assifs’, or ‘Ms Butt or ‘Mahmoud Akhbar’.
You get the picture.
This is not hyperbole. As is being reported in the papers we have dentists. Dentist for fuck’s sake, on 300K a year, funded by the fucking tax-payer. It would be cheaper for the tax-payer to pull everybodies teeth in the UK and buy us all a fucking blender and a straw.
It’s fucking insane.
Don’t blub George I have it all under control.
There’s this chap called Asil Nadir coming back to Britain and I hear he isn’t short of a few million and would be very happy to give to the Conservatives.
Gentleman, we’ve found our new Party Treasurer.
What could possibly go wrong ?

The great tragedy is that the utter excrement of all time – Moron Brown – has not been diagnosed with a dreadfully painful and long lasting illness.
Shame.
Utter piece of dog crap,Gordon Brown – drop dead you cun*t.
$100,000 for a speech on avoiding a recession.
If I gave him the benefit of the doubt about his mental state before (I didn’t) then I certainly don’t now. The man’s a total loony.
He was a great Chancellor who abolished boom and bust but bust was brought by George Bush, Sarah Palin and white male bankers. Brown campaigned against the banking sector throughout his career with the Tories forcing him to allow the money supply to rise every year and the property market to boom.
Yeah. And Ian Huntley is offering childcare seminars at 100K a lecture. You’ll know the money-laundering is back on track when some mysterious institution actually books the deluded, economy-wrecking jackass to give a lecture.
In the meantime he’ll have to settle for the pittance that incompetent, irrelevant, back-bench Labour MPs get paid. Plus expenses. The incompetent, economy-wrecking jackass.
Omg! We are controlled by big business and puppet politicians. Omg!
then we should all get a cut,those in the know,
What happened to Lord Paul who threw his dosh at Labour?
He’s next on Dave’s list for Party Treasurer.
YET ANOTHER TRIUMPH!

Camerhoon has had his mong fall off the perch
Blairs daughter tried to kill herself
inbreds
Hmmm. I wouldn’t wish a mentally handicapped child on (even) Brown.
Fucking horrible, incompetent, economy-wrecking, self-promoting, Labour-Uber-Alles cu*nt that he unquestionably is I don’t want Brown’s children dead. They’re still young. They can still be saved.
As the Jesuits say,g ive me the boy at 7 and I’ll give you the man.
I’d like him wiped from the record and his children adopted anonomously (so as not to ‘avenge’ their father as in some Greek fucking tragedy) but, unlike Brown, I’m not a total fucking monster.
I’m much more sanguine about stringing Brown up though.
We need, as the yanks say, closure. Ideally the closure of a noose around several Labour necks. All of them now suggesting they had ‘reservations’ over the Iraq war but they’re now somehow, somebody whose judgement, when in full possession of the facts, is just a little iffy but we should all just forget that and vote for Milliband ‘A’, Milliband ‘B’. Or Revlon ‘C’.
Suddenly Diane Pies of St Cakes seems positively saintly.

Prescott admits that Labour is “on the verge of bankruptcy” and dependent upon “the goodwill of the Co-op bank”

I was on a school roof stealing lead. I fell through and landed on a desk. This caused me to shit my guts out. Naturally I wiped my arse on some paper.
Low and behold, some weeks later, after the shit-wipe paper was marked by flid arse bandits and crack spoons, I now have 5 A stars at ‘A’ level.

Great to see how a man who left school at 15, without qualifications could build himself an Empire, and his son, also without “qualifications” carrying it on! Just shows how intellegence is preferable to A levels and Degrees! Good luck to him.
So what has he done wrong ?
CCHQ = arrogant, inexperienced and frankly a bit dim!
NoooLab need not worry if these clowns are anything to go by.
Can’t understand the logic of bereaved mother taking action agin Wiltshire council for scrapping speed cameras. Her son was killed in a speeding car and the speed cameras were switched on so they did not save his life.
like CCTV, speed cameras do not stop crime, they merely record the crime as it occurs or encourage criminals to go elsewhere.
Somebody else has to be to blame, and the mother won’t accept that her son was stupid enough to drive with a lunatic.
QED its the council’s fault…
It’s a shame for her of course, but unless they raise the driving age to 25 for young adult males, the more retarded of which think driving stupidly fast impresses, then this group will continue to kill themselves and others at way above average rates.
