The opposition parties are screaming foul, but to be honest what can be done to level the playing field – besides making the parties pay for them out of their own funds? Which is not bloody likely.
The fact is that the SPADs are now working full time for a Blair victory, only once the election date is announced will they move from Whitehall to Labour HQ or the constituencies in to which they have been parachuted…
Royalties would be treated as proceeds of crime and could be seized under the proposals. “We don’t think criminals should benefit from their crimes – society should draw a clear distinction between right and wrong,” Howard said.
Under the plan, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 would be amended to enable the attorney general to apply to a court for proceeds from a book or article to be confiscated. Any payments made to a criminal to help produce a book or newspaper article would also be covered by the plan. “What I want to see is a presumption against criminals benefiting from their crimes in this way.” The new legislation would also cover live entertainment appearances by criminals. Oscar Wilde would be spinning in his grave, but on the other hand if it keeps ex-con Johnny Vaughn off the radio, Guido has no objections.
A Labour Party spokeswoman told the Indy: “Zack Exley is working for the party as a campaign consultant specifically using his experience of working on www.moveon.org.” MoveOn were the group that compared Blair’s best friend George Bush to Adolf Hitler. Zack worked with Stan Greenberg, a business partner of Philip Gould, Tony Blair’s personal pollster. Small world eh? He also worked for the Kerry campaign’s online website. Exley has links to anti-war groups and the The Ruckus Society – a leftwing organisation that advocates – and trains radicals from a wide variety of other left-wing groups how to use – “direct action” and “guerrilla communication” to promote left-wing politics.
Remember the Guardian’s campaign for Kerry in Clark County, Ohio? They encouraged readers to write to voters in this middle-America marginal constituency to Vote Bush Out. The Americans reacted predictably to interference from the British Guardianistas, voting for Bush by an increased majority in Clark County. The local Republican party campaign manager thanked the Guardian for its inadvertent help. Most tobacco chewing citizens of Clark County made clear what they thought of the advice from their Guardianista correspondents i.e. “Go to Hell Limeys”. So Guido thinks we should return the favour, send a personal email to Zack Exley zackexley@gmail.com. Guido’s personal message wishes him better luck this time with Blair than he had with Kerry.
