Son of Labour super donor elected chair of Young Labour.

The son of a South African millionaire who has given millions to Starmer's Labour is the new chair of Young Labour.
Right, so this is a tale of Labour Party donors and that old epithet of what are the buying when handing over their money, especially when it comes to the handing over of millions of pounds. Starmer’s Labour have made much of Tory donations, the £10m handed over by their super donor Frank Hester, but what of their own super donor? £5m donated by Autoglass boss Gary Lubner, himself with a very checkered past rooted in apartheid South Africa and now his son has just been elected chair of Young Labour. Coincidence, or is this another one of those Anonyvoter moments?
Right, so let’s start with the donor in question here first, we know Labour are sending out begging emails for donations right now, but why should they need more when they have donors like Gary Lubner to fund them now?
The chap in question is vehicle glass repair and replacement magnate Gary Lubner, CEO of the global umbrella company for such auto repair work Belron, itself an arm of a bigger company, PG Group, who own Autoglass here in the UK and Belron, having been founded in South Africa in the late 1800s, played a huge roll in the apartheid years through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s in that country. Lubner himself joined the police force in South Africa during that time, acting on behalf of the white supremacist regime running the country, presumably meting out the brutality that regime became known for, so much so that sanctions and embargoes were applied to that country, sanctions that Belron itself was instrumental in busting throughout the apartheid years there, a company where by the 1980s Lubner was working as an accountant for. An example of this is the acquisition of Autoglass by the company in 1983, Thatcher having no qualms about them purchasing a British company of course. A police officer turned accountant though? A bit strange, but not necessarily when for one and most importantly he was white and for two his father and uncle were bosses at the company, his grandfather had been as well before them. Wealth followed, he became a personal donor to that ruling National Party, funding the apartheid movement. Of course that all came to an end and rightly so, but he’s gone on to funding United Jewish Israel Appeal, a lobby group with close ties to the Israeli state, the Israeli state itself having been longstanding recipients of donations from the Lubners. All of this has been denied by spokespeople of the Lubners of course, however it’s a bit of an unfortunate coincidence that news has now dropped that Gary Lubner is funding Keir Starmer’s Labour to the tune of $6m going into the next election because Lubner wants Starmer to be in power for a very long time. Lubner has already given more than a million to Labour now. So we have a guy who has funded two apartheid regimes, now funding a party led by a man who is a self declared Zionist without qualification, that is as seemingly pro-Israel as you get?
