They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

Labour sleaze: Lunch with Darling or Clarke from two grand

guardian: Labour was tonight involved in another cash row, as a new business group was revealed to be offering access to cabinet ministers in return for donations to the Labour party.

London in Business, an offshoot of the Labour party business liaison unit, is offering businesses the chance to have breakfasts and lunches with government ministers in return for subscriptions of thousands of pounds a year.

Business people have so far been offered a chance to network with the home secretary, Charles Clarke, and the transport secretary, Alistair Darling, in return for between £2,000 and £3,500 a year. Link

db: Was the party treasurer Jack Dromey aware of this neo-Labour scam? If not will Clarke restate his assertion that it is evident of Mr Dromey not being up to the job? Or will he keep his well fed gob shut this time?
