The simple fact is that both the Tories and Labour have close links to the City and we can’t trust either of them.

Aunty Christ, no one wants to hear what a committed anarchist you are, well done you weren't tempted to vote labour. Maybe some of us are interested in these kinds of reports. If there's a problem, there's a little button marked "x" in one of the top corners of your screen - it makes all your problems go away.
Thanks for the article [whatever your posting name was, I can't remember].

Interesting start -- now dig deeper?

Hmmmm ........ a possibly good start. Balls got a lot of his support from one household with one of the people in that household working for a bank. Those are your facts so far. Now you want to find out things like .........
1) You described Sanzone as a "banker". Is he? Let me explain that using myself as an example. I worked for one of the world's largest "financials" and I had a final rank before retirement equivalent to a departement head but that didn't mean I was a "manager" (of people) let alone a financial person (I did software for them; I managed systems and major builds, etc., projects, not people). In other words, what reasons do you have to think Salzone would be pro Tory rather than pro Labour? What do you know of his background BESIDES that he works for a bank?
2) OK, so it's a well off household. That's where a campaign expcets to collect its larger donations. But why does THIS household donate to Balls? What have you learned about Balls' positions on issues compared to those of his opponents that might make THIS household want to support him. Note you have managed to identify two of the four donors but still have two to go. Are there any PERSONAL connections?
NOTE: This isn't about supporting Balls or Labour (it's about journalism -- which we have to improve if we want indymedia to be taken seriously). You have the START of a story, enough to suspect that there might be a story, now go dig.
