£Ashcroft: Biggles, Bertie, Algy and Ginger Flaunting the Rules? via Labour of Love
We've been following the rather ridiculous Baron Muchhousing Ashcroft of Belize for some time. Here, for example is our archive featuring "Flying Lion" - the good Lord's private jet company - which has been ferrying shadow mimicsters and MPs around willy nilly. Not a UK company. Not paying tax here. With no base here. With no direct company interest in the demented big-C wasting involved in dashing around the globe.Michael Ashcroft's Flying Lion has exploited an apparent loophole in the donations rules. These bar overseas companies and overseas based individuals from donating either money or in kind goods and services to UK political parties. With one exception. That being Travel. This concession being designed to allow the Sultan of Brunei say to summon some UK polis at his own expense.Lord Ashcroft is a British Tori that lived in Belize more than the UK. He was found to be issuing tens of thousands of Passports and Visas while living in Belize under British authority.
Just in this past year he was given a free pass by the Cameron government and sent to what normally would be considered a 'safe' place to put him.

He is a worry and now this turns up. It is reasonable to be suspicious as to any connection between the antics of this corrupt Brit and the drug cartels. Passports and Visas probably facilitate the migration of the cartels into the USA. So, much for border fence security when passports and visas abound.

It's the result of a major operation by US Law Enforcement, a three year investigation into and infiltration of the Belizean Bloods Gang, a drug trafficking operation based in Chicago.
The biggest name to come up so far is Jerry Johnson, who, according to investigators, ran the operation out of Chicago. According to informants who gave police information, JOHNSON inherited his father's drug connections when that father was deported to Belize. Once the drugs got to Chicago the Belizean Bloods had a narcotics distribution route including Illinois, Utah, Ohio, Indiana, New York and California....
