Election 2010 Lib Dems Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Isn’t

Vince Cable of the Liberal Democrats squirms under intense questioning about party donations

Saint Cable, his faith and their cash.

Favourite uncle Vince Cable and his Lib Dems are going to put a stop to political parties taking donations from thieves and fraudsters. Unorthodox and very welcome, you might think.

Of course let’s just skip over the admitted fact all the parties have been feeding off dodgy dough up to this point. Provided lessons are learned, what’s a little dirty money between ravenous, cash guzzling pigs?

To underline their intent, the Lib Dems won’t be handing back the reeking pile of dosh shovelled in their direction by their since vanished criminal friend Michael Brown.

Brown stole millions from honest investors, £2.4million of which found its way into Liberal Democrat coffers. In a recent interview, asked if the party should hand the money back to the investors who had lost out, Vince Cable assured the panel everything was above board before stating, “Fuck no! We’re keeping the money, fuck the investors!”

Okay, he might have phrased it slightly differently as he twisted and slithered under sustained questioning, but the sentiment was the same.

Good to see the Lib Dem’s principles are firmly in tune with Westminster. Maybe they are a viable option after all, or at least they are fast learners.
