The
so-called anonymous donations scandal sparked off by the laundering
tactics of David Abrahams, another New Labour millionaire, has
generated a media storm. One wonders why such hysteria wasn't aimed
at the QinetiQ sell-off (the MOD research facility), authorised by
Gordon Brown, for an eighth of its value to a private equity
company. The share value increased by 20,000 times on privatisation
and the senior civil servants responsible for organising and
recommending the sell-off became multi-millionaires.
So, while low paid civil servants are offered
what amounts to wage cuts and the tax payers get ripped off once
again to the tune of millions, Brown's friends gorge themselves on
undreamed of riches.
Astonishingly, this scam is not illegal but it
confirms the axiom of Michael Corleone in The Godfather: "One man
with a briefcase can steal more than 100 men with guns." Such are
the ethics of the present government that brazenly retains the word
'Labour' in its title.
