When is a loan to a political party not a loan? When it is a Loanation.

This hilarious joke had us rolling about the Eeekonomist offices all day yesterday. I spilled by Starbucks double latte and then was helpless to go and get it refilled. That's how blinking funny that was.

So, the Blair-Tory and that New-Chap-Tory party's have been accepting loans, which don't have to be declared, on the nod and a wink that they won't have to be repaid. Sounds bleedin fishy to us... If only someone would talk to us about this it would be a blinking good story...
