I may rarely agree with her, but have known her, off and on, for 25 years. I have always found her to be straightforward and honest. To demand her scalp plays into Gordon's hands for a number of reasons. Firstly, she is despised by the old left for being wealthy, middle class and "wimminy". Secondly, she sent her kids, like Blair, to an elitist school outside her constituency. Many backbenchers can't wait for her demise. Brown would see this as "closure" and the whole rotting carcass of Labour finance mightn't have the thorough investigation the country demands. But maybe I'm just an old cynic.JERRY HAYEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243486957190807398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-80953151650207487452007-11-29T21:19:00.000+00:002007-11-29T21:19:00.000+00:00Ripped up a donors cheque just because the donor w...Ripped up a donors cheque just because the donor was unknown to you?<BR/><BR/>How rude, surely at the very least you return it with a letter of thanks, and an explanation that for that campaign alone donations were only being accepted from close acquaintances, but perhaps inviting the donation to be made to the party.<BR/><BR/>Or is Gordon Browns new policy for the Labour Party that no donations will be accepted unless he personally knows the person?<BR/><BR/>I am sure if it was returned their will be a covering letter somewhere...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-90821317391729981422007-11-29T21:13:00.000+00:002007-11-29T21:13:00.000+00:00The sheer joy of it Iain.
