    I watched this episode last night along with the more detailed one that was shown today. What's interesting is that apparently the BBC use similar offshore investment funds for their staff's pensions, which they never mentioned in either of the TV programmes.

      Actually no-one has ever voted for Lord Ashcroft. He is a member of the unelected 'House of Lords' after effectively bribing his way in.

      We haven't really got to grips with this whole 'democracy' malarky in the UK yet.
