#KerryOut Hits £1000
Adeela Shafi's Bristol East war chest
.The Lib Dems have rather hilariously tried to weasel their way in on the act by suggesting that if you want to beat the Kerry "two beds" McCarthy then the money should be sent their way. Well sorry chaps, you're wrong. Although they did come second in 2005 there have been boundary changes that that have reduced McCarthy's majority and put the Tories in second place. Lib Dems lying here again.
That being said the campaign, which will get going properly with more aggressive tactics has had support from Tories, Lib Dems, UKIP and the Libertarians. Money raised in small donations is the key to success for grassroots campaigns like this that are independent of party strategy or even the candidate. TB hasn't even spoken to Adeela yet but hopes she is already planning ways to put the money to good use in the new year.
Keep it coming

Not the first time a Kerry has been fucked by the internet.
So it is an independent campaign, but the money raised is going to the Conservative candidate?
independent as in unofficial is the impression i got.
I just realised that by choosing not to disclose my name when I made my donation I officially turned myself into a Secret Tory Backer. Wooooo,how exciting!
Just for the record: I am resident in the UK for tax purposes, OK for all purposes really. Indeed, I pay quite large proportion of income out in tax AND ..this is where it gets really exhilarating.. AND the government is borrowing an enormous amount of money on my behalf!! WoooHooo!!
Haw. Do you think I get orders from Cowley Street to tweet things, Mr Bear? Not yet, I'm afraid. Maybe someday.
The Lib Dems'll take this one.

Actually, Conand has a point...
Is this legal, or is it indirect funding, and as a result, don't all donations need to be checked for residence / electoral register requirements?
