How about a simple rule: you can't donate a penny more to any political party over and above how much you pay in tax in the UK?

let's not forget the state killing citizens in the street with no consequences for the shooters and no justice for family and friends.
Don't forget that nearly all Republicans stood by and supported Trump's...
