"Boris" is the Prime Minister. Are you fucking mental?

You can’t say mental anymore. It’s not pc. Not sure why you put Boris in quotation marks. Did he say something?

Apparently promoting Malay theatre 5 years ago is the same as taking funding for a political party.

I think he's missed my point about London be awash with Russian money in my sector.

But then again, he does, often

You can say what you want, as I've just proved.

I put "Boris" in quotation marks because that's basically his stage name. It's the character he employs to hypnotise feeble minds like yours.

I believe they have received £1.95 million. The figures for Labour are less but what’s a few pounds.

Billions have been invested in businesses in the U.K. Rightly or wrongly. What is it that you’re missing?

Not had chance to look at spiders link earlier. 1.9 million. Is that it? The way people are going on I thought it'd be at least 100 x that. 

I'm not say its right but its nothing compared to the 258 billion sanctions quoted.

Also is it illegal for a political party to receive money from donors abroad? Genuinely don't know. And if these Russian donors are based in the UK does that effect if its illegal or not?

You say Labour accepted donations too?

Nearly 2 million?

Is that it? From public servants? 

I'm not sure you understand political parties.

Never said I did. 

I don't understand you though. Never give a accurate response.

You won’t get one. 
Basically, Russian money in the U.K. is bad. That’s why they call it Londongrad. London is awash with filthy Russian dosh. Unless it’s for the arts and Chelsea Football Club. Then it’s ok. Politically, the Tories got more than Labour and Labour are upset. 
This scenario is going on throughout Europe but no one gives a shit because the Tories are cunts. That’s it.

Nice one.

Is it illegal or against any rules for a political party to receive?

It's very straightforward, honestly.

No, but It has to be from UK citizens and not be dodgy. 

That is the point of contention, as the origins of some of it may not be clear.

Which is fair enough. 

That would apply to any Russian donation potentially or indeed any donation at all, as such money will either be from someone with a strong belief in a given party or from someone hoping to swing a bit of influence.

Only have to look at a certain media tycoon for the perfect example. Funded both Labour and Conservative at different times.

Only reason it's being angled at Conservative party now, is because Labour haven't been in for a long time, so folk forget about their donations. Understandable, but self righteous bleating doesn't change the fact that party funding has been this way for many years.

Donations below a certain amount don't have the same scrutiny neither, so a shit load of bent folk could donate a lot in small amounts without the same scrutiny. 

As I said before, it's easy to screech, but if sincere, people can lobby their local mp for change. Bet not many do though.

That's almost the excate opposite of my point.

But well done for trying your best.

I don’t vote for parties in other countries.

All that matters is how our government behaves.

And for the last few years they’ve been fucking disgraceful.

Nothing to do with Labour, or the French or the Dutch.

Theyve been dogshit. Simple as that.
