    Awesome. Up until this bit:

    A Tory spokesman said: “It’s true, we really like capitalism and free markets and so in that sense yes, we have been bought lock stock and barrel by the people who donate money to us.

    If only it were true. Or if it is true, that they would act like it.

    Not quite as funny as having Alistair Campbell teach politics as an “inspirational teacher” at Jamie Oliver’s Channel 4 “Dream” School.

    I wonder who he has recruited for sex education classes – Gary Glitter?

    The media often get things wrong, or take things out of context. Here, a TV crew tried to make something of a scatological comment said months ago on the battlefield of Afghanistan by tony Abbott. By cutting a segment short, they made it seem as though he was being disrespectful to a dead soldier.
    This has not worked, and the reporters are now the ones embroiled in controversy.

    If only they had been “bought” rather than merely donated to then at least there would be some recourse under trade descriptions.
