Celebra-tories: Jeffrey Archer
We hate Jeffrey Archer more than most Conservatives.
His lies and deceits have been comprehensively documented by the courts and media.
Last year the disgraced peer ran the London Marathon for charity.
Cash was solicited at jeffreyarcher.co.uk, a site carrying the name of Jeffrey Archer Limited:
Jeffrey Archer Limited has never been registered as a company in Britain, as revealed by a search at Companies House.
Archer’s site goes on to say:
“As soon as all pledges have been collected, I will announce the sum raised for these tremendous causes.”
Nearly 12 months after the marathon, the site carries no such announcement.
We’d love to hear explanations for these two facts.

I think I might register Jeffrey Archer Ltd my self!

I thought it was a bright spot of frankness and self-knowledge in his life.

Well, the lack of a total could be explained quite easily.
Take the number of people who respect or like Archer.
Subtract the number who are too tight to donate money.
Is the final number greater or less than zero?
You need to have something to announce.
