DODGY DAVE GOT £19 MILLION FROM DINNER PARTY DONORS

Dodgy Dave has been forced by Rupert Murdoch to reveal information about his dinner parties. I am not surprised by anything this guy does anymore. He serves the banks, not the British people.

Here is the list of Dodgy Dave's Dinner Donors who gave more than £50k (donations in brackets).

July 14, 2010: A “thank-you dinner” inside Number 10 itself, while flat was being refurbished.

Anthony and Carole Bamford (£101,249) (and a further £2,425,066 from their JCB Ltd)
Michael and Dorothy Hintze (£1,453,280, and a further £2,500,000 in loans)
Murdoch and Elsa Maclennan (£33,925) (for Telegraph Media Group)
Lord John and Lady Sainsbury (£910,000)
Andrew Feldman (£84,270 through company Jayroma)
Jill and Paul Ruddock (£20,000)

This is an astonishing amount to get from a very small number of people. The Tories cry that Labour gets a shed load from the Unions. Yes, they do. But the Tories get more, and the donations are from Unions, i.e. basically lots of very small donations from hundreds of thousands of hard working British taxpayers who are sick of being mugged off, not very large donations from a small number of individuals.

And they got to dine with Dodgy Dave.
