Labour’s bad boys – Part 4 The Lord Levy

It’s time to introduce Satan Blair. To be more precise it concerns the Lord Levy but he was acting on behalf of the great deceiver himself. Michael Abraham Levy, later Lord Levy, was the chief fundraiser for Labour in the Blair years. 

There were allegations of cash for honours, in other words, bung us enough money and you get some kind of title, presumably which title depended on how generous your donation was. He was arrested and questioned in a scandal known as “Cash for Honours”. As was the normal case for the scoundrels surrounding Satan, no charges were made and plod removed all details from their files. Cash for Honours was made famous by Lloyd George via his intermediary Maundy Gregory who was the only person convicted of wrongdoing. A knighthood cost £10,000, £30,000 for a baronetcy and £50,000 for a peerage. The end result was the Honours Act of 1925.

Before Satan’s 1997 victory Levy ran the Labour Leader’s Office Fund and this financed Blair’s campaign before the election. Eventually having raised over £100 million for the poor socialists he was often called Lord Cashpoint.

It is is perhaps more accurate to describe Levy as a wide boy rather than a bad boy but being described as the number one fundraiser in the country we need to assume little would stand in the way of him and a donation. For that reason alone he makes the list.

As usual Satan himself got away scot free perhaps guided by his “I’m a pretty straight sort of guy” response to an earlier financial scandal. Grok took the question as a reference to his sexuality which has been called into question on occasion in the past. I believe Satan uses sex as a weapon or as a means of achieving his ambitions though quite why he wanted to bonk Rupert Murdoch’s wife, Wendy Deng, is beyond my comprehension. Had the Dirty Digger upset him at some point ? Anyway, Blair getting away scot free while Levy had his collar felt beggars belief. If honours were being handed out then surely the Prime Minister would have been up to his neck in it.
