		<description>That&#039;s right Flowerpower - after all, all tenants go out of their way to thank their landlords as profusely as the TaxPayers&#039; Alliance thank Richard Smith.

&quot;And your point is precisely?&quot;

Just that it&#039;s of great interest to see how the right are organising, particularly as there is much speculation around the role of the TPA if the Tories get it. It&#039;s a bit like our version of ConservativeHome&#039;s LeftWatch. With more facts.</description>

		<description>Simon,

&quot;In case you weren’t sure it’s the Tory Party, closely followed by UKIP and the BNP&quot;

I think you may be surprised by how much most right-wing think tanks are opposed to the BNP. A party which advocates state control, nationalisation and higher spending (on everything that appeals to its voters) is hardly an ideal bed fellow for low-tax groups, never mind those with a social liberal bent. Obviously your ignorance is based on grouping all these &#039;right-wingers&#039; together (because in the same way a social democrat, a fabian and an anarchist will always agree...) but hopefully you will learn.

And I guess you&#039;re right that the Conservatives and UKIP are most likely to be supported by the TPA - something to do with similiar principles?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;At least the TPA has departed from its normal policy of secrecy to tell us who is funding the move: “Midlands businessman Richard Smith”. &lt;/i&gt;

It doesn&#039;t say Smith is funding the move. What it says is that Smith is the TPA&#039;s new landlord.

So, to re-cap: anti-tax ginger group moves to new office building, which also houses some right of centre think-tanks. The building is owned by a businessman who sits on a committee that collects money for the Tories.

And your point is precisely?

(Try this one: the Labour Party has its offices in a building owned by British Land, which also houses Aegis Defence Systems and Bank of America.........Only connect.)</description>

		<description>TPA a conservative organisation, well there is a surprise.
Personally I  cannot think of a more odious profession than been a member of a think tank (left or right). A group of mutually bonded incompetents who haven&#039;t the moral backbone to publish their ideas as individuals.
I can just imagine Descartes  been part part of the non aligned dualist society.
Eh Jeremy I have wonderful idea instead of of getting a real job we will sit around devising idiotic ideas that a publicity seeking MP can start his career with</description>

		<description>And when is this astroturf lobby group - which represents less than one tenth of one per cent of all taxpayers - going to publish its accounts?

After all, transparency is supposed to be the name of their game. Well, after their prime purpose, which is the demonising of Government - any Government.</description>
