Multi-millionaire to give money to pro-Brexit Tories. What's in it for him?

Yahoo News reports: (1)

Jeremy Hosking, a London asset manager and Conservative Party donor, spent £1.7m ($2.19m) on the Vote Leave campaign and has vowed to funnel cash to Tory candidates who will not oppose Brexit.

He told the Observer that he wanted to give Prime Minister Theresa May "an army" of pro-Brexit MPs that was "fully equipped and as big as possible".

He will target constituencies where most voters backed Brexit, but which are currently represented by an MP that favoured Remain, offering upto £5,000 per candidate. With nearly 140 such constituencies, Hosking could end up spending close to £700,000 on the campaign.

 As an 'asset manager', he would consider it an investment to help make him and his clients much more wealthy.

But does he give a shit about public service workers at the front line of public service delivery such as paramedics on 1% pay increases who put their lives on the line for £12.35/hr in saving lives?(2)

Some 'give' more money than others make in a lifetime to make themselves and their clients more wealthy. Others give their lives to public service.

Newham council walks out of public meeting to avoid Focus E15 Mums protest

That's the latest blog from Kate Belgrave. Much the same has happened in Brent, when Robin of Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group, Brent Housing Action and Unite Community got manhandled out of the uncivil Civic Centre that cost a mint to be built.

And this is my latest placard design in response to London's housing shortage.

Now it's not just burning crops that keeps prices high

So many of the ills that our society faces are actually caused by the policies of this Con-Dem central government. It is a great tragedy that Naomi Klein's book 'The Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism' was so little known at the time of the 2010 General Election in the UK. While local councillors probably feel powerless to act against the gluttony of global capitalism, but they should at least show some solidarity with poor people.

Maybe Newham Council felt that it would be 'bad for their image' to rough handle the Focus E15 Mum out of the building in the same sort of way that Brent Council saw our Robin 'escorted out' of the Brent Civic Centre when he gave them a piece of his mind. But what Newham Council members on higher allowances than the social security benefits that the Focus E15 Mums receive are surely a greater 'drain on democracy' and the local women are.
