Well, this is probably a good thing in the long run. Financial backers should not have any say whatsoever in the running of the party beyond that of normal members. If the party gave in to his blackmail, it would be no different to the Labour party selling out to just about every big corporation in Britain.
I can't seem to find any references to this story though... do you have a source on the web, or was it only on Sky news?
