Business As Usual For The Tories.

In a breathtaking piece of hypocrisy the Tory party has accepted "donations" from the subprime lender the Funding Corporation Group Ltd, headed by Tory fatcat Lord Edmiston, who regularly ask their victims to pay interest rates of 200%. The latest "donation" of £100,000 was made only days before Parliament is due to vote on legislation to curb subprime funding. "You can guess which way that vote will go," one Westminster insider told us. Asked to comment a Tory spokesperson said; "There's nothing wrong with taking bribes from people who already support your party. Lord Edmiston is a long-standing friend of the Tories and its only right that his opinion should be our guide when we vote on this matter next week. I know that people think we've been dragging our feet when it comes to laonsharking and now you know why. The Tory party is not in the business of telling people what interest rates they choose to pay when they're forced by poverty to borrow money for neccessities. We believe in the free market and the poor get the interest rate they deserve. It's their own fault for not being millionaires like me."
