Luciana Berger’s Dodgy Dormant Donation
Luciana Berger is shocked that Guido would possibly see a link between her pushing for property development tax cuts in the Commons and taking money from property developers:
“It is clearly defamatory to suggest there is any link between the donation to my constituency party and my question in parliament. My question in the Commons was motivated by a constituent’s concern about the availability of private rented accommodation. It was completely unconnected to any donation to me or Liverpool Wavertree Constituency Party.”
The notion that it’s all hunky-dory because the donation was to her local party and not directly to her bank account is laughable. And note that she only mentions one donation – we raised two. Now, while we have your attention Luciana, perhaps you could explain another donation that has caught our eye…
According the Electoral Commission in April 2011, Berger’s Liverpool Wavertree CLP received £5,000 from a company called ‘Purple Apple Facilities Management’. According to Companies House, as of 31 March 2010 Purple Apple was “dormant” and it was later dissolved. HMRC say “dormant” is a term for “any company or organisation that is not active, trading or carrying on business activity”. Now the problem for Luciana lies in Section 54 of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. A company is only permissible as a donor if it is a company which “is carrying on business in the United Kingdom”. Purple Apple were not however carrying out any business in the UK. So why was Luciana’s team accepting donations from them?
Why do these people think they won’t be caught out ? – or is it just assumed that they can brazen their way out of anything
Because so few of them are sent to prison.
It’s only right and proper that someone of my standing in society, should not even be interviewed by the police, over the trifling matter of £80,000 fraudulently claimed by myself.
However it is entirely correct that a low life pleb be sent down, over the very serious matter of claiming £500 benefits to which they were not entitled.
We are after all, all in this together.
It is “Rt Hounarable David Laws”
You won’t mind if someone decides at some point to take the law, which you hold in such deep disregard, into their own hands?
Yup, she’ll ‘ never walk alone ‘.
So how is / was Lord Ashcroft giving money to the Conservative party? and why does he want to give money he is non resident his businesses are in some other country.
If he wants to give money to anyone without expecting anything back, I will be very happy to get money from him.
As far as I can understand their is no free lunch.
Look it up fuckwit and you might, might understand.
I believe that Lord Paul, one of Labour’s biggest donors, has similar offshore arrangements. Pot, kettle, black.
.. and when you have finished pontificating, also go and learn the differences between there, their and they’re. It will be a good use of your time.
She is beautiful.
Specsavers !
Cat fight with Nigellissima coming if she keeps getting publicity like this. Plenty of wobbling flesh to watch ot for boys!
Sion Simon.
I wouldn’t dump a load of dirty washing into that.
The bint was on Daily Politics today and was a dee-sas-tur.
That’s what happens to ladies who sit on the bacon slicer – disaster.
Because the so called Political elite believe themselves to be so far above us mere “PLEBS” that no matter what they do say or act it is above reproach and us “PLEBS” should get back in our boxes and keep our fat faces shut and be grateful.
I have no idea what it takes this lot to realise the politics is actually the lowest form of power there is and that right now most “PLEBS” view the body politic in such a corrupt way.
Oh fer gawdsake! You people need to get over the whole pleb thing already. Get that pile-o-woodchicp off your shoulder, grow a pair (or strap on a pair) and stop whining. So what if the super-rich/ super-rich politicians think they are better than you? THEY ARE! Deal with it. They are smart enough to get into a position where they can scam an entire nation. And they could give a rats patootie what you think about it or them. But you don’t do anything useful to stop it, you just let your class drag you down into the mire.
All the while allowing the bleeding heart lefties to convince you that you are hard done by, that you have rights, that it is a fair and equal society … you let them fill your head with cr*p and then you somehow feel entitled. Get a grip! Own what you are.

Because they’ve been getting away with it so long.
Because they think the rest of us are fcukwits!
As Guido can tell you, most of these people have something on whoever is the one you would think would do the exposing. It’s (1) who you know (2) what they know about you, that you want them to know (3) what you know, about who you know, that they would rather you didn’t know, which determines who and what is and isn’t exposed.
Neddy and the Goons did this one in 1959. It goes something like..
I know a little. But if he also knows a little of the little that I know, then he knows a little, but if I know that he knows the little that I know, then the little that he knows plus the little that I know means that the the little of the little that I know he also knows, but how much of the little that I know that he knows do i know of the little that he knows…. etc.
She always reminds of a transvestite – I don’t know why.
You once had a steamy encounter with one?
Which one did you have in mind?
totally agree
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Keep going Guido – am sure you have more up your sleeve – she has made fatal mistake of getting in dialogue
She was on Brillo’s show at noon. Wonder why she wasn’t asked about this? Can’t believe Brillo would miss something like this. He’s usually in the know.
Because Brillo did not get this story before it was put up on this site.
I’ve got a brillo pad downstairs. It is great for cleaning the cobwebs out from neglected crevices.
Get that on video for us please Anne.
When a politician resorts to threatening libel. you know they’re seriously rattled.
Ha ha and that they are lying. Hee hee hoho.
We really do not like corruption
do she do anything else for cash?
some ladies have no limits
Purple Heart?
Made me wonder too – is it Purple Apple or Purple Heart? Or Purple Helmet?
purple headed Helmet.
I’m free!
Not only free but very generous.
One-eyed purple people eater (that goes back a bit too!)
This is the same woman who , when questioned before her election to a very safe Liverpool Labour seat , didn’t have a clue who Bill Shankly was and now jumps up in the HOP every time Hillsboro’ is mentioned ! She has no shame
She didn’t have a clue who Bill Shankly was. But they still voted for her.
A bit slow on the uptake in Liverpool as people still haven’t grasped the notion that New Labour=Not Labour
Hmmm, New Labour or Labour, internationalist fascists or internationalist socialists, lousy choice whichever way you look at it.
Slow on the up take
Some places in Liverpool have voted labour for decades and the those areas are shit holes
Yet the simple connection , shit holes & labour is never made
As long as they are getting one over the blues they will not care.
Well shes labour, of course they did.
But she does have £11,500.
They’d vote for Jimmy Savile in Liverpool if he had a Liebore rosette on.
They’ll never walk alone – because if they did you can bet they’d get lost.
They’ll never walk alone – someone has to keep an eye out for the busies!
I raised £40m for charity and these fuckers still take brown envelopes.
Lifes lowlifes.
These labour MP’s put the criminal fraternity to shame don’t they?
Talk about corrupt from the inside out!!

If one of their constituents was worried about the availability of rented accommodation then why was she not raising questions about increasing the amount of homes built/relaxing planning procedures.
If developers aren’t building houses it ain’t because of tax considerations. It is simply because they paid too much for the site in the first place and the mar*ket has collapsed. Those developers are part of the problem. We need to encourage different developers to build cheaper homes. And the surest way to build cheaper homes is to slash planning regulations. That way building land will become much cheaper, homes will be much cheaper to build and housing costs for the voters will be lower.
They develop buildings in liverpool?
Will you kindly shut the fuck up? Myself and many colleagues have Buy to Let properties.
Why should we see our returns slashed or even destroyed altogether by you and your big fucking ideas?
We are providing prole-holes for the little people to sit in for us to broadcast at. God help them if they have not paid for their TV license.
Now, over to Julia Caesar grinning like a moron as she tells you that house prices – the biggest financial liability most people ever take on – have gone up again.
this seems to have something…………. like the truth
And of course if there have been THREE dodgy donations what are the odds there must have been more?!
>So why was Luciana’s team accepting donations from them?
Tick Lucinda’s box
1. it was an oversight
2. An accounting error
3. Administrative detail
4. Error by a junior
5. Security concerns prevents details
6. Allowed within the rules
7. All of these
Spell check made her Lucinda. Well..close enough for government work.
It would be rude not to
Left her purse on the bus along with the info stick?
It is defamation to suggest there is a link between a Fruit Fly and a Banana.
Who lived in the house where all ballot papers were returned for your imminent selction to the seat you now hold?
Is that really yoo-hoo, Gary, Hero of the Proletariat?
Shouldn’t you be the Mayor of Stroke on Trent now Gary.
Yes and yes.
Name all three people whom lived in the same house and where all ballot papers were sent.
Who recruited Peter from the Communist Party and into a secret intelligence agency (so dear to your heart)?
I walked away from this crap and took them on.
Principle doesn’t account for a win or a lose.
Can’t really be doing with your politics Gary but credit where credit is due, at least you would have been a local person representing local people. The people of Stoke have been badly let down by yet another A list luvvy parachutist it really would be better if people voted for the person rather than the party in these cases.
Chris Bryant’s fiddle was first publish in 2010 including a photo of his Mansion flat in Bloomsbury. So stick that in your security pipe Bercow.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/8133198/MPs-pocket-rents-from-homes-paid-for-by-taxpayer.html
Does anyone have a picture of Mr Bercow’s gaff, or is that a state secret now?
And a couple of weeks later here.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1334884/MPs-exploit-loophole-profit-second-homes.html
But it was not a big news story then. It looks like Bercow has now turned it into one. The cover up always gets more attention than the crime.
Uh Oh!
This looks bad. But Scarecrow Bercow is the man for the job. After all, after two years he managed to hush his silly wife up. So I’m sure he can keep this quiet.
Didn’t she have a well publicised holiday with Paddy the Traveller?
Always keep a handy pair of knickers in your handbag.
Perhaps the flat is leased to some of the friends he met from the website on which he appeared.
Fuck her off.
Little Miss Perfect is being ripped a brand new one. About time!
She is my MP. This is a complete and utter disgrace. She should resign immediately and there should be an investigation into the Wavertree Labour Party.
Hear, hear, brother White
You’ll get it back on Tuesday.
Does she speak like a scouser? She’s a pretty little thing (Harry Enfield)
does she do this?
Come on people!!

The problem is Guido 54A isn’t in force yet, – They didn’t want to enforce the rule they wrote – I’ve searched for a commencement order and there isn’t one.
Ewww, where did you leave it?
The political class live in Notting Hill and Islington and pass out constituencies and quangos (aka troughs), to their friends and relatives.
Life really would be so boring for us Plebs, without Guido to keep the Little Angels on their toes..
Nothing has changed at Westminster. The crooks are still at it , snouts in the trough as usual.Should rename the HoC as HMP Westminster.
“Purple Apple were not however carrying out any business in the UK.”
Their accounts should be online. If there was no income and no trade where did the £5k come from. And who are the Oh So Generous Directors?
But I am sure it is all kosher
Its illegal for a dormant company to make any payments (except for Co house registration fees etc) so there are more things to be explained.
“A dormant company must not have any transactions going through it, aside from fees paid to Companies House, payment for shares taken by subscribers, or any late filing penalties.”
Correct. I was going to point that out.
If the company made the payment, it isn’t dormant. Mind you, if it’s been dissolved, then it doesn’t exist, which also makes it hard to make a payment. Further probing needed, methinks.
Time for a police enquiry into Berger and the Wavertree Liebour Party. And when is Huhne going to be banged up ? Yet again MPs shown to be above the law.
Trial delayed till January.
Yes, we know. But why?
If she has done wrong let us hope that the book is thrown at her and the fact that she is a woman is totally disregarded .
Cameron promised to get rid of 10 % of the troughers .
In reality if he were to cull 90 % we might get somewhere .
AS far as I can make out Guido thinks they spend most of their time abusing people having sex with underlings and going on self gratifying overseas freebies .
Jimmy Savile’s family have had his
gravestone and the flowers around it
removed as a mark of respect.
That just leaves a small hole and no bush.
It’s what he would have wanted.
Although it is poor taste. It is quite funny.
A quick bit of sleuthing later and I’ve sent you an email with some publicly available documents on one of the people behind the company. back to work now so i can’t dig deeper but i think you’ll find it interesting…
I would !!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Purple Apple Management Ltd is up to date at Companies House with latest accounts made up to 31-Mar-12. Nature of business? Shockingly, it seems to be ’68320 – Management of real estate on a fee or contract basis’. Who’d a thunk it?
Hypocrisy and Mendacity – it’s in Libor’s D-N-A.
email guido. Or twitter him before 9pm when he’ll be too pissed too read it . He might not notice your excellent spot buried down here.
Perhaps she is like the silly cow on R5 drive this pm who comes out with stupid statement that DC miss-spoke.
How the fcuk can anyone miss-spoke you either lie or you dont. Ah yes I see this only applies to MPs and their assorted bunch of wnakers,
It is like the Jack Dromey situation. When asked was he a woman he said that he knew the nice lady that gave the safe seats to other nice ladies so he was presumed to be one.
Does no one want to mention the utilities lowest tariff farce that Dave the Chameleon has created? More lies at the Dispatch Box.
Only a Dick Head would want to mention it.
It is quite simple all you need to do is switch your supplier every 3 months which will save you £250 a go, that’s a £1000 a year, but hang on a minute if the cartel are all putting there prices up by the same amount every year in October ( I might be a bit dim but could this possibly have something to do with the weather?), I think it was Gordon Brown that started all that nonsense.
Who will Cameron send in his place to join 26 heads of state/government at EU Nobel ceremony? Guido Fawkes ????
Send Clegg of course. He’ll love it. His party will love it and Tories can avoid having anything to do with the whole embarrassing ceremony.
Plus it gets Clegg and Cable out of the country for a few days.
Its win-win all round.
I wouldn’t want to go anywhere with Incapable Vince. He’s a
closetcommunist.Sounds like a Dodgy Dishonourable getting dodgier by the minute……More more!!!
I wonder if Ed will demand an enquiry to get to the bottom of it?
What is the pathetic excuse this time?
“The notion that it’s all hunky-dory because the donation was to her local party and not directly to her bank account is laughable”
Although since that’s not what she actually said it’s largely irrelevant.
The question I want to know is, why wasn’t this sent straight to MY bank account!
Because your accounts are too well hidden Vazeline.
Let’s keep the focus of attention on the major issues such as Gate- gate, shall we ?
After years of losing money, Newsweek announced on Thursday that it will stop printing its magazine and become a digital-only publication.

Why do socialists have such bad hair?
Was this person a Director shareholder or employee in Purple Apple Facilities Management Limited when the gift was made ?
Leave her alone she is only Millionaireband’s window dressing.

“My question in the Commons was motivated by a constituent’s concern about the availability of private rented accommodation.”
Yeah, all those empty flats in new builds in cities all over the country bought by BTL fuckwits must be a figment of my imagination.
