    New Sleeze

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6321375.stm

    An inquiry has been opened into the charitable status of a think-tank following complaints over its reported links with Chancellor Gordon Brown.
    The Charity Commission said it had new information which raised "concerns" about some of the work of the left-of-centre Smith Institute.

    The Tories called for an inquiry after claims a subsidiary group had held a seminar on how to beat David Cameron.

    The think-tank also employed Mr Brown's ally Ed Balls. It denies wrongdoing.


    It's all coming out of the woodwork now!

    Our beloved Chancellor involved in a tax-avoidance scam (tax breaks being one of the good points about being a charity), I can't believe that, but if it's true he should resign immediately.

    Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.

      The blogger Guido Fawkes is the one to thank for this.

      18DoughtyStreet.com is also fun on their TV channel. They are the ones that did the 'What will they tax next?' Video.

        Not surprising that Ed Mauls, sorry Balls was MIA on Question Time last night. All that sweating and stammering wouldn't have looked good for the Dark Lord of the Sith, Brown.
