On every High Street up and down the Land there are businesses that fund the Conservative Party. I call them #ToryFeeders.
You might be surprised at how many household names give your money to the Tories.
I'll try to keep you up to date with #ToryFeeders as I find them. Please feel free to submit a #ToryFeeder you've found to: malkymister@gmail.com
Here we go....

CHEEKY NANDOS?
Cheeky? If you count elaborate international Tax avoidance and being Conservative Party donors as cheeky...
Here they are feeding David Cameron & friends with the PiriPiri whilst avoiding UK Corp Tax and funneling heaps of your cash to the Tory Party from the comfort of their £8m Wiltshire stately home. How cheeky are Nando's?
Buy a £7.30 portion of spicy chicken thighs at Nando's and the cash flows into a network of accounting devices, involving Malta, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg, Panama and the British Virgin Islands

Pizza Express
Whenever you see a Tory getting a publicity shot done on a Company's premises, it's a safe bet that that Company are Conservative Party donors. So let's have a peek behind the scenes at Pizza Express
George Osborne? Making Pizzas in Pizza Express?
Hugh Osmond is the co-founder of Pizza Express and is very chummy with the Conservative Party and Boris in particular. £115,000 in donations from him alone. Keep giving like that and he'll be a Peer in no time.

Let's keep wandering along the High Street
Next
Where to start?
Next is run by a Tory Peer Lord Wolfson.
His wife Eleanor Shawcross is a special adviser to George Osborne at the Treasury.
Donations to the Tory Party from #ToryFeeders NEXT are in excess of £400,000 since 2006
Crombie Coats
Not an everyday buy unless you are a Head of State or a mega wealthy hipster, but Crombie coats are owned by former Tory Vice Chairman Alan Lewis, who has shelled out a whopping £246,000 for Conservative Party coffers from his tax haven in the Isle of Man. Tax avoiding #ToryFeeders
Taveta Investments, Arcadia?
Never heard of them?
Course you have!
They own:
Topshop
BHS
Burtons
Dorothy Perkins

Outfit
That's a lot of #ToryFeeders cashflow.
David Cameron made Philip Green a Sir and a special adviser to the Conservatives and allowed him to transfer all these High Street Companies to ownership in Monaco, where Philip's wife can own them without paying UK tax.
Feeling peckish?
