Cameron Cash For Access Scandal

Just two weeks ago British Prime Minister David Cameron was riding high. He had learned everything there was to know about basketball at President Obama's side during a highly photogenic and successful trip to Washington.Despite continued tough economic news his Conservative party's poll ratings were up.But the last five days will be ones he wants to forget.The government's budget, presented by his closest confidante, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, has been savaged by his own supporters for raising taxes on retirees - a core constituency for the Conservative Party - while at the same time lowering the top rate of income tax paid by millionaires.Then yesterday, The Sunday Times, published the results of an undercover investigation, into Tory Party fundraising. Reporters posed as potential Tory donors and secretly filmed the party's co-treasurer, Peter Cruddas, telling them that £200,000 to 250,000 would get them private time with Cameron. That's between $317,00 and almost $400,000. MORE.
