In the last election Tony panicked as usual, thought the only answer was to throw money at it (which is wrong), called in Levy and said "Get what it takes". Which he did because he’s brilliant at fund raising. So he went out on auto-beg and collected squillions for our first PFI election. Labour spent the lot (or rather chucked it away) and no-one knew how much was involved until now.
The barmy bit is that we were going to win 2005 anyway and money spent on newspaper ads and posters is money wasted. Pity the bastard was so dependent on teenage geniuses and never thought to ask me. I’ll bet they will now it’s time to pay it back. |
