Following the revelations of illegal donations to the Labour Party this week, it’s instructive to take a look at Greg Palast’s web site for a little background on Brown’s chief fundraiser, Jon Mendelsohn.
Here we learn that Mendelsohn was a founder of the lobbying firm LLM.
Strangely, LLM’s website (llm.co.uk) makes no mention of their illustrious founder, although as recently as 03-Nov-2007 Google cached a page from LLM (www.llm.co.uk/updatable/staff/c_jon.html) listing Mendelsohn as a director of the company.
Could it be that the current directors (Craig Leviton, Ben Lucas, Fiona Mason) have concluded associating with Mendelsohn is no longer good for business?
PS. The conditions of use of LLM’s web site state that “You may not create any links to this site without our express written permission.” So in order to comply with this bizarre requirement I’ll leave you to cut and paste the urls above if you want to visit this grubby backwater of the world wide web.
(Writs should be addressed to MrP.)

Interesting. If you copy and paste it defaults to the home page, you have to go via google. Anyway, not exactly open communication banning any links to the site is it? You know, when it comes down to it, they are all in it for the power and the money, and they will just take what they can, get away with what they think they can get away with. It’s the same the world over. We can dream of a better world, but it won’t happen, not with any government.

“You may not use any meta tags or hidden text in your own sites which incorporate the fd.com name or any FD International company name or products without our express written permission” Oh. Didnt you just do that? Shame.

Basically, they are saying “Got any grubby corporate secrets? Then we can influence ministers to sort it out”.
