Who was the tax dodger whose money he spent then?

Lord Ashcroft of Belize.
As a key target seat for the Tories they received a minimum of £150,000 in money direct from Ashcroft's fund and a further £50,000 from Conservative Central Office. It's possible that over a three year period they will have received as much as £400,000 to spend on campaigning in the constituency.
Compare that with St Geraldine whose campaign was pretty much spent with a couple of other people behind a fold-up table in places like ASDA, and bizarelly her spent holding up a big sign for a couple of hours on Euston Road. As I understand it she didn't knock a single door in the entire campaign and relied on her network and reputation.
One ridiculous extreme to the other.

As for being a tax exile or whatever...good luck to him if he can get away with it.
Shame for Curtis Warren you weren't at the head of his appeal campaign, CC
My understanding of Union funding is that it comes directly from its members, many of whom are not given the choice to object as to how the Union spends THEIR money!

My wife is in a union but doesn't have that privalage.
Obviously Unions differ.

What a horrible attitude.

If you or I could get away without paying our taxes, wouldn't we?
I openly admit I would.
That's why some pay accountants.
Others deal only in cash.
