Seems hard cold cash talks for the Greens

except that they didn't take the money, which, er, seems to torpedo your whole argument.

From the very same article:
//It is understood the donation was actually rejected because it failed to meet party ethical standards.//

In other words the usual DM crap of publishing misleading headlines and an entire article before actually acknowledging that it's not true - knowing full well that DM readers rarely have a long-enough attention span to read more than the headline and the introduction.

surprised the Limp Dum "supporter" thought that necessary, after all the Greens usually only get about 500 votes from the tree huggers anyway!

[youngmafbog]

Amusingly, the Greens initially denied the report was by the party and tried to claim it was a couple of minor activists.
Now they are trying to block distribution of the Report by claiming they have Copyright on it.
As so often is the case, the actions and the cover up of the incident will be far more damaging than the alledged incident itself.

If you want to read the report (it is boring) that the Greens are trying to smother, then it is here:

a squabble between two local parties, then. They should be put under central control and have candidates parachuted in like other parties.

Typical DM article....pointless. Sometimes its difficult to see the difference between the Daily Mail and the Express, given that both seem to fill their pages up with Crap.

I have no intention of stifling debate YMB, but was there a point in posting this, given what jno said earlier ?

[jim360]

I had understood already that there was some sort of candidate/ seat deal between the two parties. Turns out it wasn't nearly as squalid, though, as ymb tried to imply.

Do people who post links on this site ever bother to read them?
