Werritty Ran "Charity" From Liam Fox's Parliamentary Office.

It has emereged tonight that Adam Wrritty ran a lobbying business from Liam Fox's office at Westminster and, by calling it a "charity," he didn't pay rent for it (taxpayers, of course, footed the bill). The so-called "charity" called the Atlantic Bridge from which Werritty trousered a handsome £90k was, in fact, connected to an American lobbying group dedicated to promoting the Thatcher-Reagan era. A string of Tories served as an advisory board for the "charity," including George Osborne, Michael Gove and William Hague while Baroness Thatcher was the honory patron. It was eventually wound up when regulators discovered it was too political to qualify as a charity. We asked several leading Tories to explain this obvious scam but none were available for comment. A Tory insider was willing to speak off the record, however. "We want to be completely open about this matter and Liam has called for a full investigation that should kick it into the long grass for a few years. Now it might well be that the American lobbying group has great interest in healthcare but the fact that Liam was the shadow health minister is pure coincidence as is our determination to privatise the NHS and sell it the Americans. The charity was devoted to celebrating the Thatcher-Reagan era which, as recent events in the international economy has shown, was a great success. There is no question of impropriety here, despite Mr.Werritty's involvement in blackmail in the United States and despite the fact that he's been swanning around describing himself as Liam's personal advisor." We asked our political editor for his view; "Just another Tory sleazebag caught with his hand in the cookie jar again if you ask me. Par for the course with this lot."
