Banksy's gift is inadmissible, by mcster on Aug 29, 2008 11:37:35 GMT 1, I can't imagine why anyone would want to donate anything to any Political Party, they are all self-serving cheats and liars.
Surely there are far more deserving charities and organisations that wouldn't waste the cash on pre-election propoganda?

Banksy's gift is inadmissible, by Prescription Art on Aug 29, 2008 11:41:24 GMT 1, People often donate money so that the party will 'help them out' in the future. Look at the row over Bernie Ecclestone's ยฃ1m donation to labour, and the subsequent exemption of Formula 1 from tobacco sponsorship rules. This is why 'anonymous' donations aren't allowed.

75,000 ...seems rather alot to me, to enable a way through this mess, that's the red tape bollox to me - that money would be better spent somewhere else no doubt

The higher you climb the ladder, the larger palms you must grease.

I wonder what Labour could do to help Banksy or Laz out though, with exception of Banksy being able to paint without being nicked? Can't see them doing that somehow, even if it were possible. You have to be Royal to get around the law.....
I realise Banksy has been generous to Charity in the past, so I'm not cussing him too much, it just surprises me that he'd chose to donate to any party? Maybe it's Labour using his name to make them sound 'cool' - it's hardly like Banksy is going to pop up in the Daily Mail and declare himself a Tory is it.. ;D

Banksy's gift is inadmissible, by Prescription Art on Aug 29, 2008 12:04:58 GMT 1, Banksy donated a drawing to Ken Livingstone's election campaign, he didn't donate the money directly. I'd be very surprised if he directly supported new labour financially given that nearly all their policies seem to run counter to Banksy's beliefs.

Banksy's gift is inadmissible, by Grubster on Aug 29, 2008 17:13:01 GMT 1, this is crazy... headlines say Steve Laz donated 120K to labour, thats bullshit he just bought a Banksy original, a sick 1 at that! and Banky didnt donate $$ to labour either, he donatedd it to the mayors re-election! Buulshit paper headlines !!!
just a thought, but why wouldn't Banksy just give the painting as a gift to some1 close then have them donate it so they can collect the full donation? derrrrrr
