It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

YFG/ Coca-Cola links exposed

The real reason Matt Bruton opposed the Ban

Scandal breaks as Coca-Cola fees to Bruton family revealed

Matt Bruton, leader of the anti-ban Coke campaign in Maynooth, is the son of former Taoiseach John Bruton. Yesterday, the Sunday Independent revealed that John Bruton was in receipt of between E15000 and E20000 speaking fees from Coca-Cola with full five-star travel arrangements and accomodation.

Could it be that when Matt Bruton decided to oppose the ban on Coke in Maynooth he was looking after Daddy's pocket money, and his own?
