Tories lose £8.3m donation in "insane" judgement!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7044734.stm

 A lovely gift from the Courts which confirms everything we have been saying for years! The Conservatives have to hand back £8.3 million which was donated to them, as the judge  made the ruling that the donor would not have given it to them if he was sane!

 

Absolutely priceless.  


Please don't let us go down the road of book banning!

An interesting article on the AOL site today. John Reid is to begin a consultation process and publish draft proposals to stop convicted criminals writing their memoirs (and presumably profiting from them).

So what is the issue here? Whilst I can see how emotive factors such as the Ian Huntley murders could be a prime mover, as progressives should Labour members and MPs be supporting this action?
