TBH with Labours level of hatred of Jews I am surprised they took his £1.5m in the first place.

Money is money.

[ToraToraTora]

correct and Labour will now be getting less of it.

[Jackdaw33]

Serves them right. I remember back in the 60s the Labour council of Newcastle was dominated by the Jewish population, who, whilst living in the leafy suburbs, were parachuted into deprived wards. I don't remember any great problem.

David Gerrard was a buddy of Blairs jewish mates Lord Levy and Peter Mandalson. It was Levy who secure the loan (which became a donation).
This Property Developer didn’t suddenly become altruistic for the working man, the real reason for the donation was to buy a peerage to the Lords. All was going fine until the Cash for Questions scandal, and poor David had to withdraw his nomination. He quit the Labour Party 3 years ago, so he was unlikely to be making anymore donations anyway.

Anti-semitism coming out again, Gromit. Your tone is offensive. Just like you were on another earlier post.

[highbury57]

And it’s Mandelson, Gromit. At least spell the name correctly though it won’t excuse your prejudice.

More on Sir David Gerrard.

// John Prescott gave the go-ahead for a firm of developers to build an enormous shopping centre months after the owners of the company secretly gave Labour a £3.3 million loan.
Sir David Garrard and Andrew Rosenfeld, the "Minerva Two", won the backing of the Deputy Prime Minister, to build a £500 million retail centre in Croydon, south London, which will become one of the country's 10 biggest shopping malls. //

// Sir David is expected to undergo a televised grilling this week by MPs on the Commons public accounts committee over his role in the loans-for-peerages affair.
Last night, Peter Kilfoyle, the former Labour defence minister, said the Minerva revelations made the Government and the Labour Party look "desperately seedy". //

Looks as though he should have been expelled by the Labour aparty years ago.

Pecunia non olet, as Vespasian told his son, who didn't like the idea of a urine tax.

But you have to admit, (never mind the wilder rumours,) at the moment the Labour Party seems to be rather eagerly weaving its own shroud.

[Kromovaracun]

Labour seems well shut of him.
