The City funds the Tories

Posted on

Somehow there's little surprise in the news that the Guardian reports that:

Financiers in the City of London provided more than 50% of the funding for the Tories last year, new research revealed last night, prompting claims that the party is in thrall to the banks.

A study by the Bureau for Investigative Journalism has found that the City accounted for £11.4m of Tory funding — 50.79% of its total haul — in 2010, a general election year. This compared with £2.7m, or 25% of its funding, in 2005, when David Cameron became party leader.

The clutches of the City state extend to the state as a whole.

It is the tax haven enemy within.

Is there any surprise that the Tories are promoting the most extraordinary tax cuts for big business, and big business alone in the UK?
