EDM 2606
HONOURS, DONORS AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
19.07.2006Salmond, Alex
That this House calls on the right hon. Member for Witney to reveal what percentage of individual donations to the Conservative Party have been received from people nominated for honours; notes that 80 pence out of every £1 in individual donations to the Labour Party has come from donors who have received knighthoods or peerages; and further notes that offering a place in the House of Lords as a means of fundraising for political parties is illegal under the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925.
The SNP quite famously refuses to nominate people for honours, however, Recess Monkey has drafted the following EDM, which some helpful soul might like to table by way of retaliation.
EDM: HONOURS, DONORS AND THE SNP
That this House calls on the right hon. Member for Banff & Buchan to reveal what percentage of individual donations to the SNP have been received from people who have at some time received a bottle of alcohol, box of chocolates or other such comestible product, signed by actor Sean Connery.
An SNP mole tells Recess Monkey that Alex Salmond has a collection of such signed bottles in a locked cupboard under his TV, on which he spends more time playing computer console games than watching parliamentary debates.

I think it would be fair to say that Mr Clarke is a regular...
Hmmm.
An Oscar-winning actor signs bottles of whisky.The pillar-box-mouthed, legal-aid fund hoovering wife of the PM autographs for auction a copy of the Hutton Report into into reports surrounding the suicide of Dr David Kelly. I think I know which one’s the sick fuck.

Is that M&S for the dyslexic?

Mate, you are an idiot! A bottle of orivately purchased whisky signed by an actor as opposed to the Hutton Report on the suicide of a Government scientist signed by the Prime Minister’s wife or the alleged sale of peerages by a Labour government for millions of pounds! Get real! The Labour Pary has been selling influence for decades!
