Ashcroft Cash Funds Labour Candidate
Lord Ashcroft’s cash is finding its way to some unlikely beneficiaries. Owen Jones wouldn’t accept the £3,000 prize from the disaffected Tory donor when he won the Ashcroft sponsored ‘Young Writer of the Year’ award last week, instead he split the money between a donation to a left-wing campaign and gave the other half of the money to Labour’s Peterborough candidate Lisa Forbes. She is fighting to oust sitting Tory MP Stewart Jackson, who has had £15,000 from the billionaire peer as well. Meaning Ashcroft is in the unusual position of funding both the Labour and Tory candidates’ campaigns…
Ingrate?
It’s difficult. Ed is more of a Tory than Dave and they both have a socialist as their man in the treasury.
Surely …
‘Young Wanker of the Year’
Young writer of the year??? Was he the only candidate? Or were the others disqualified for writing proper English with lots of correct spelling, punctuation, and accurate use of apostrophes?
I am funding bouncy castle mayhem at the Gordon Brown Country Fair
Young writer of the year?
What an inspiration Owen Jones is, if he can win that prize, anyone can.
Little bastard still hasn’t given me back my crayon.
Is that the same crayon you used in Lisbon?
Ashcroft may as well fund both – same policies.
Tax, spend, borrow, more EU, more immigration, more DFID, more Government.
Vote UKIP.
Exactly – same awful policies so why should he care
cheeks of the same harrishole
“Aris”, short for Aristotle = Bottle, short for Bottle & Glass = ar se
So why can’t he find more worthwhile things to spend his money on?
Sandra,the problem is that the electorate have been subjected to broken promises,lies,ineffectual policies,theft of taxpayers money by all of the political parties & have come to realise that it doesn’t matter which is in,or achieves power,it will end up as the same ole,same ole.
Correct.
Therefore we need a return of “The Commonwealth”, another Cromwellian figure who will purge the Augean Stables that are UK politics, cleanse our laws of the foriegn dross and set us back on our feet to stand proud as Brit’s, unsullied and not prepared to be put upon by any twat.
Better ask Mrs Merkel if she will help when she gets voted out of office at the upcoming election.
Well done Owen! It’s not all about personal greed, is it?
If he is not prepared to trouser the cash, he is no friend of ours.
attend to the ailment on the left and the right gets better.

try it when you have something in one of the eyes, just give attention to the other..say by rubbing it gently.
.
the left and the right connect to the same point at the top too…just like the ends of the base of the triangle both connect to same point at the top.
.
choice is there whether one wants to be in this specialness deficit triangle of creative earthly existence….for it is glorious…and as darkly grounded as can be. but it is gaga. aim higher.
Guido definitely clutching at straws with this story….
Jack,the son, or both of them?

How the fuck did that little fucking wanker win anything? He’s fucking shite.
He’s worse than that fucking incest-obsessed fucking dirty little fucking arse-bandit Hari, or that fucking mad old bastard Toynbee.
Jones is a just fucking blethering fucking jumped-up fucking NUS gobshite, one of those ranting little student politician prodnoses who never got shagged at uni and who resent everybody who doesn’t inhabit their fucking bizarre Marxist-theory-inspired fantasy wankfest of a worldview, whose rooms always smelled of unwashed socks and dried spunk which is why the girlies and the willing bum bandits shunned them..
Yes but apart from that, what else is wrong with him?
What happened to my Iraq report?
It encountered a Shredder of Mass Destruction.
I hope Owen has declared the income, and paid his taxes………………..
I think there should be a judge-led inquiry into how the funds got to Tory candidates
Our client Lord Cashpoint of Selize has asked us to point out that he has no ownership or control over these awards which are funded by a Tortola based trust. We are happy to give you the PO Box # if you like. We would advise you in the strongest terms that any repetition of this slur will result in legal proceedings which will be vigorously pursued unless you look like making a fight of it.
backing both candidates — it’s called hedging your bets
How did that prick win a prize?

Err, so he *did* accept the cash then.
