Lord Dirty Money Ashcroft

There is something not right about Michael Anthony Ashcroft being described as a British businessman. As I understand it, British businessmen are required to pay tax. And yet, Michael Anthony Ashcroft does not pay any tax in this country. He does not reside in this country, rather, he resides in the foreign country of Belize. Belize is a country in Central America. This makes Michael Anthony Ashcroft an alien. A very undesirable alien. The Drug Enforcement Agency in the US has a file upon him. There is no explanation how he became very, very rich, very, very quickly. The Tory Party is not concerned with how he made his money, just as long as they receive large donations from him. The Tory Party nominated Michael Anthony Ashcroft for a peerage, and after a battle he succeeded, but it was conditional upon his residing in this country and paying tax. He neither resides in this country nor pays tax, and yet sits in the House of Lords. This anomaly is totally unacceptable. In my view, Michael Anthony Ashcroft should be prevented from engaging in politics and stripped of his peerage until such time as he resides in this country and pays the tax that he has evaded for too long. If he does not play by the rules, then he should be declared an undesirable alien and deported.
