Caring Labour Lender Donating Interest to Tories
Sir Richard Caring lent Labour £2 million back during the loans-for-lordships era under Blair. He didn’t collect a peerage but he has been collecting 6.5% interest on the loan, or some £130,000 a year. That is roughly £2-a-year from each and every single Labour Party member.
With the Tories now in power he has switched and donated £140,000 to them. Guido thinks it a deliciously witty joke to donate the Labour Party’s interest payments to the Conservative Party’s treasure chest…
Hat-tip: David Hencke
He should sue the labour party.
No point, they’re broke.
I would say the Labour party currently owes £20-25m:

To be fair, they’ve only been paying interest on the Caring loan since August 2010.
If you look at the Twatter feed top right you will find the answer – £36.3m.
Priceless !
Cameron proves beyond all doubt he is the Heir to Blair by grabbing his hero Tony’s corrupt paymasters.
You’re right, that IS very funny.
For not getting his Lordship, Would be a intresting court case…..
What goes around comes around
When Tony Blair was just setting out on his journey up the greasy pole of politics it was said that he received financial support from the wealthy Tchenguiz family. These brothers were certainly amongst the first of the ultra wealthy to give their support to the future Prime Minister.
In office, Mr Blair certainly demonstrated some loyalty to them in return: he actively lobbied the Polish government to back a bid which the brothers’ energy company, Rotch Energy made for the Polish Refineria Gdanska. This was to the irritation of the government in Warsaw, who believed -with some justification it may be said- that the Rotch bid was simply a front for larger Russian interests to acquire a strategic Polish asset.
The news of the arrest of the two brothers will therefore presumably be of some concern to Mr. Blair.

Why? He’s no longer PM and the brothers’ plight is of no further interest to him.
But it does beggar the question about Blairs interest in the brothers’ business, over that of the country he was supposed to be leading.
It is what is known as caring and sharing
Guido, thanks for this, it has…
MADE MY DAY!!!
I like his style. Labour funding the Conservative party – you know it makes sense!
£2 million? They owe the rest of us about £200 billion.
…and the rest. Still, they do get £10M a year “short money” from the taxpayer, don’t they? I don’t know why it is called that – possibly because as taxpayers we’re all left short of money.
Named after Ted Short, the Labour (of course) minister who introduced it.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Serious point, what would happen if Labour went Banr*pt? Surely ther woiuld just reform under a new name/brand/company?
Unite under a new brand name.
What like ‘Nu Nu Liebour’? Still the same bunch of useless c u n t z like like the IRA and the real IRA or the plastic IRA. All still c u n t z and kiddie fiddlers.
Like Unite.
tabular bun pork
We can’t go bust. When the money runs out, you just print more.
Dont’ worry about Labout going b u s t
Keeping it afloat will cost petty cash for all of Tony’s cronies
And you have the Teamsters unions racketeering their members, who will always help
Previously Owned Labour?
Absolutely delicious. Now all Sir Richard has to do is call in the loan at the most inconvenient time for Labour – along with the other 6 of the Magnificent 7. The thought of the Looting Parteh being wholly owned by the unions will keep me warm in bed of nights and considerably increase my personal happiness quotient.
The Liebour party is already wholly owned by the unions.
Sorry, what loan??
They could always tap up Mandy at Laz*rds.

Can someone let me know if this is correct. Labour has costs to run their party and so have a banking overdraft facility. However, to ensure that they make payments to the overdraft facility they also borrow money from companies and individuals. How are they going to repay the companies and individuals? Is this a debt spiral?
I assume they will have to rely on the Unions even more!!!
You’ve got it in one. Labour run their finances the way they ran the Country for 13 years- Macawber Economics, or “something will turn up”.
GOM ~ the only thing I want to see turn up for LieBour is their toes !
If you remember, Mr Macawber was declared bankrupt and decamped to Australia -in Victorian England, the ultimate disgrace. As the Austrlians have a surfiet of corrupt, delusionary, useless socialists of their own, Labour are denied that escape from their responsibility.
We learned that one from well respected and well named American Madeoff, he said he was the boss of NASDEQ
It’s all here (or so it should be acoording to the Law) in Black and White. How Ironic that Union donations are now going into financing these borrowings. It seems they run their own books like they ran the country’s books.

An afterthought. I wonder whatever happened to Gordon’s alleged £50,000 slush fund?
I’d forgotten about Gordon’s notebook, as have the MSM.
Labour run their Party like they ran our Country for 13 years – into the bloody ground.
Or……maybe they can pay it back some other way to benefit the recipient – with no money changing hands.
Who keeps pushing the,”Taxpayers to fund political parties scam” >
His hairstyle is that of a Yorkshire terrier.
It is my theory that men often stick with the hairdo from when they were 21. in this case 1973.
but to my surprise when looking for his age I found this:
His friends include Scottish philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter,[16] and property developer Robert Tchenguiz, with whom he plays poker
He’s probably next on the list then
Scotland Yard seem to have been freed from the constraints put on them by Criminal Labour
BTW We should change Starmer as well
Stand by for the shredders and friendly printers, then.
How anyone from the Liebour party has the brass neck to show their faces in public is beyond me. Yes this lot and Billy Hague might have made a bit of a cock up over getting idle Brits out of Libya, but fuck me how about “so just where is the WMD Mr Bliar?”
Or the most important document to take us to war was made up by a ginger haired bagpipe playing jock twat who nicked it off a spotty 10 years olds homework?
When Liebour f*ck things up, there are no half-measures!
Not forgetting Labour foriegn policy fuck-ups like Royal Navy sailors getting arrested by the Iranians then paraded on TV wearing some charming Mr Buyrite suits! Thank you Beckett!
Caring was one of the guys who didn’t get a peerage because Labour stopped flogging them after the Levy scandal…
Could not have happened to a nicer person, I am sure…
ROFL
Have to be satsfied with the knighthood old boy
Expensive at that price
ROFL
This sort of deal almost always has repercussions.
Cue book.
Yep, a different kind of politics.
From Red to Blue.
Thats the only difference under Rusty Cameron – the power is still bought & paid for.
he truly is the heir to Blair.
Continuity Blue Labour out.
I dont why the labour party doesnt merge with the BBC
I thought they were merged Billy. Surely the BBC is the communications wing of the Labour Party now.
Well BBC has a budget of 3.5 billion, so if they officalilly mergrd then they could wipe out the debt , I mean it would just “Make things above board” then?
Typo Billy, that’s the BBCC.
Strange how the ‘cuts agenda’ seems to have cooled a little in the past few days!
Good point: the BBC get £ 3,500,000,000- from the Taxpayers every year. We could probably
spendinvest that in a couple of hours, buy off a few more voters anyway.He’s only worth £1.5 billion so I don’t suppose he misses the interest
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Caring
I wonder if he is intrested in taking Scotland of our hands?
Billy
£1.5 billion is far too much for Jockland !
No but if he pays……50p for it , He can then spend the rest on trying to get the wankers to work in the private sector and of benifits.
You don’t mean he is a slave driver Billy ?
WEll they want socailisim.
Snigger:-)
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, as.
Nothing like backing both horses
Increases the chances of a peerage nowadays
Are you contributing to the Tory party nowadays as well, Lord Levy ?
Not today. I’m at the tanning salon.
Safe as fek
Currer’s PMQs Review: http://thecurrerball.wordpress.com
I think we will make our own opinons of PMQs.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls is to visit Telford to hear the views of “ordinary hard working families”
http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2011/03/08/shadow-chancellor-ed-balls-to-visit-telford/
“So one of the architects of the labour policies that have near destroyed this country now wants to ‘ listen’ what a hypocrite.”
In these hard working families that politician’s seem to come across every 5 seconds, are the kids sent up the chimneys, into the mills or down the pits or something?
Not actually ‘listen’ – just make it ‘look’ as though he’s listening.
Expensive photo-op, nothing more. Let him try visiting one of the constituencies in the SE and he won’t make it back alive.
Who here actually believes the people at the photo-ops will be real members of the public and not the local party activists and union drones.
Look at the last time a Labour Mp meet with a member of the public (mrs Duffy) and she was a labour supporter.
Yeah, but that was Sue’s fault…..
I Raleigh lark tha Tawney Blur.
Tha’ oother was a big goat. An ‘ee smelled a bit foony.
I ward nowt let ‘im in me ‘ouse again.
Sue was nice thou. Quite clean.
I know, wasn’t it great!
+1
Ed, Fuck off and Die.
Kin L there are some thick people in Telford. They are blaming Mrs T for Balls’ mishandling of the economy. Unless they are spoof comments inserted by Ed Balls.
“Mr Balls says he wants to develop a plan for the economy that’s credible.”
That would definitely be a first.
Seeing as Cameron is now adopting New Labour policies (smoking advertisng nonsense) this seems okay.
At least he does not promise exemptions for £1 million like Tony Bair and co did to Ecclestone
He should be giving all that money to Scientology!
Only Scientology has the 100% workable technology to make this country a better place.
I think you mean voodoo.
Baron Samedi has the answers.
Indeed, East Grinstead reigns supreme. And the sound of private jets flying into Airwick Gatport is deafening.
Ridiculous! You it is wind turbines as the wind is free therefore energy developed off it is also free!
They left the country in debt , The party in debt, Balls refusing to pay his debt, Am i the only one or can anyone else spot a pattern here?
“The trouble with socialists is that they always run out of other peoples’ money.” (Margaret Thatcher, 1979)
Billy, debt has been the common theme on every occasion Liebour have held office. They are nothing if not consistent.
Is that 6.5% gross or net of tax?
Here’s another one who just missed the peerage boat
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Garrard_(property_developer)
But he “withdrew his name” in time
Dave awarded me a peerage for standing down as an MP but it was turned Down
I got mine, otherwise I would have squealed.
The Peerage drowned in the Moat
Perhaps he was promised a pier for his moat?
Oh the irony!
A bankrupt party who bankrupted the country financing the party that has to clean it up.
Am I thick or something but why would a mother want a signed copy of Sarah’s book complete with dedication for mother’s day?
http://www.behindtheblackdoor.co.uk/index.php/2011/03/sarah-signing-books-at-ebury-hq/
Maybe she wants to give it to someone she doesn’t particuarly like.
Dozens of photos on that site but none of Sarah and the mong together.
If it was me, I’d be pointing out to Sarah the details of her contract.
Anything remotely associated with Gordon is guaranteed to be a total and utter failure.
Unfortunately – she still has the name……..
And another one who missed the boat
Married to a Wolfson …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Townsley
Bad timing for a stockbroker !
It seems to me all these people have something in common
What could it be ?
money?
Oh, are we not having a thread about Cockheads cringe worthy appearance on The One Show.
Nevermind at least Richard Caring will guarantee his Peerage now. LOL
Well it’s cost him enough dosh.
So we’re being lectured on how the economy should be run by a party teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, whose shadow chancellor is in trouble over debt AND expenses claims.
All they can say is “too far, too fast’, like an elderly relative being taken out for a day at the seaside.
It shows thaT they are experts in what they talk about
We’re in debt. Please give us a tenner. We promise not to arse rape the country again if we get back in power.
I’m good with numbers.
When you can recite Leviticus and Deuteronomy from memory as well, I’ll be impressed. Mind you, as you’re a son of the manse, we’d better add Psalms and Exodus as well.
Especially Exodus.
He can do a Number One by himself and, with a little help, has managed to do a Number Two on the pottie.
Billy, any comment on Stuart Broad?
That was yestersdays news
although they have named Chris Tremlet as his replacement.
I don’t rate his barber !!
Much better looking with long hair
they say the same about bendover billy hague
I have never heard of the Tchingy brothers. Or of Col Gaddafi. What’s Libya? Is that a country? Look, leave me alone. I’ve made my millions honestly and my business connections are all decent and above board.
6 companies TB.
All paying each other to do no work?
Its a bit sus isn’t it?
It would only be suspect if Lord Ashcroft was doing it.
I’ve spoken very sternly to Gadaffi, and told him we can’t be friends any more.
Hilary very kindly refused my calls several times. She is very busy and will get back to me asap.
Yes – it’s very sus.
It’s about time this man was investigated thoroughly.
Actually we should give all these barrow boys peerages and then blow the fucking House of Ermin Vermin up à la Guy Fawkes
I’m shocked! I didn’t realise there were 65,000 useful idiots in the UK!
Fantastic, the man deserves a Beerage!
Nice one.
I have a donation for the labour party, just off to pass it.
