Does Tory Shit Smell of Roses

It sure seems like that way as far as most of the press is concerned, for The Guardian reports some on some distinctly dodgy donations to Tory shadow cabinet members, which somehow the press seems all to happy to ignore – I guess it doesn’t fit with the story they want to run, namely Brown’s had it. Anyway, back to the donations:

Grant Shapps, the party’s housing spokesman, has taken tens of thousands of pounds of cash from five different companies associated with his portfolio – two online mortgage brokers, an estate agent, a commercial property developer and solicitors specialising in conveyancing and remortgaging.

They are Charcol Ltd and Edeus Creators, mortgages brokers; Goldsmith Williams, lawyers; Douglas & Gordon Ltd, estate agents, and the Sapcote Group, a construction company.

Alan Duncan, the shadow business, enterprise and regulatory reform secretary, is partly funded by Ian Taylor, the president and chief executive of Vitol oil company, a former work colleague of his who runs a company to which Duncan used to be a consultant.

Andrew Lansley, the shadow health secretary, has received funds from London Secure Services Ltd, a company that runs two secure children’s homes, and Julian Schild, owner until last year of a medical equipment company, Huntleigh Technology, the largest manufacturer of NHS beds.

Jeremy Hunt, the shadow culture, media and sport secretary, has received funds from John Lewis, the chairman of the Conservative Tourism Taskforce and former chairman of the British Tourist Authority. His brief includes tourism.

So this is the new face of the Tories under Cameron, he’s all to keen on Brown being straight with him, I want to know when Cameron’s going to be straight us.
