Hard on the heels of my last blog, this image was sent to me and I could not resist posting it for your enjoyment.
Who could have predicted how fast New Labour reach out for the double barrelled shotgun and place it straight on the feet.
The ghost of donations past comes calling, but unlike Mr.Scrooge, this story doesn't look as if it is heading for a happy ending!
Who knows how many will be casualties by Christmas morning.
The disgraceful hiding of illegal donations typify how that this current Westminster government have been in power for too long. The perception of arrogance will not go away. How Brown must have wished he called that election in October!
The ghost of donations present has today haunted the British Labour Party in Scotland, with Charlie Gordon falling on his sword. For BLP (Scotland Region), there are many issues which have been uncovered. Firstly, the lack of talent within their Holyrood group is exposed, when your campaign manager cannot get the simple things right. You would think a quick check of the rules would be a basic requisite for one of your team, but no, not for Wendy.
Secondly, why was there such a rush for a Campaign fund when it was obvious there would be no challenge to Wendy for the leadership.
Thirdly, there appears to be a suspicious link between some members of Labour with this Mr.Green. It is no secret that Charlie Gordon wanted to build Silverburn, once Glasgow lost Braehead from its boundary.
Lastly, and more crucially, this latest crisis has exposed the levels of subsidy the "Scottish" party really receives, as exposed by no less a figure than Major Joyce. It would appear that a proportion of Mr.Abrahams money was given to the Scottish party for the Holyrood elections. The "Scottish Labour Party" accounts are full of descriptions of items which refer to being "paid by the Labour Party", however, curiously the level of subsidy is never mentioned!
Last year, comrade nationalist party Plaid Cymru, successfully removed the Welsh Labour Party as an accounting unit, and thus were able to remove Welsh Labour on the ballot paper, the reason? the level of subsidy from the UK Labour Party.
Whatever else is uncovered over the next few weeks, we should not lose sight of the fact that the Scottish Labour Party is a sham, and must be removed. The electoral commission has a duty and responsibility to investigate this matter as well as the others.
Perhaps that will be the visit for the ghost of donations future............
