Just goes to show that the left doesn’t know what the right are doing. Best do your homework first before you start pontificating.
A council with one of London's strongest anti-smoking policies has bowed to pressure to reveal nearly £1.5 million it invests in tobacco firms.
Of course they didn’t want the truth out in the open.
But during an Evening Standard investigation into the payment of more than £160 million by London council pension funds into cigarette-making firms, the authority tried to obstruct publication of its holdings in such companies.
Officials eventually conceded the council directly owns £1 million in RJ Reynolds, maker of Camel cigarettes, through its pension fund. Further inquiries showed it invests nearly £500,000 more in other cigarette companies including British American Tobacco and Imperial Tobacco.
Redbridge Council. Hang your heads in shame.
Me. I just laugh at the hypcrites
