Furthermore, you will find no posts by me on this forum gloating about the EDP's recent disappointing election results, revelling in hindsight about Matt O'Connor's ill-fated candidacy or suggesting that the EDP's national secretary should resign. The fact is that I have kept away from such debates despite my opposition to the goals of the EDP and English nationalism generally. I am trying to be constructive by contributing to debates around issues and not attacking parties. Having resisted the invitation to attack the EDP via this thread, I am a bit dismayed now to be cited in your post.

So I think a grovelling apology would be in order on this occasion.

Hello Unionist,

Mine was also meant as a friendly comment, nothing personal was meant.

Maybe I was being a little bitchy.... I can not deny that

but it was certainly not directed at you.

As for groveling.....this England never did lie proud at the foot of a conquerer.... & this lady could not possibly grovel

That bit was my little joke. I won't try to enforce that one.

I take it you are a EDP member. Yes labour , conservative and the bnp have debts, but labours not going to go bump with there millions from trade unions or conservative with over a hundred thousand members. now look at EDP £100,000 debt in three loans made by the leaders of the party whos going to pay that back. EDP last records show less than 1500 members.

ps- ukip have no debts.

Debts, are debts, are debts.

Please don't open the debate on loans and donations (union members, corporate heads etc. etc.). No one (that I know of) has gained a seat in the HoL by donating to the EDP.

You'll probably also say that no UKIP MEP nor UKIP prospective candidate or UKIP member has made donations/loans to the UKIP.

Why do people loan money to political parties? To me, you either give it or you don't give it.

When I was in the EDP we were asked for contributions towards election campaigns. So when I contributed £100 for example, never did I think to classify that as a loan.

Why do you ask? Bit late innit?

Some would assume, quite unfairly and without evidence, that to give money to a political party infers ulterior motives such as favours or a greater say in policy. I give of my money (little though it is) quite freely and without strings and until evidence emerges that others have loaned/donated money to gain favour then I take it as read that they do it for their love of the "cause" - whatever that may be.

When that evidence has been produced it should be put before a judge and jury where a judgement can be made, not left to the whims and fancies of the CPS.
