From the Observer today..
Dr Hans Rausing, the secretive Swedish billionaire industrialist who
created the Tetra Pak packaging empire, has given £100,000 to the Westminster
office of Oliver Letwin, the shadow Home Secretary.
Rausing, who has faced questions over his complex tax-avoidance
arrangements, is Britain's fourth-richest individual, with a fortune valued at
almost £5bn, has lived in England since 1982. Rausing, who lives in an East
Sussex mansion, shies away from publicity and has never made his political
loyalties known until now.
His
daughters Sigrid and Lisbet have recently made significant donations to the
anti-wind farm campaign group run by the television presenter Noel
Edmonds.

The links between the Rausings and Noel Edmonds are significant.
Edmonds is a high ranking member of the Countryside Alliance (the killing for fun brigade) in Devon and is one of a group of high profile anti Labour, pro bloodsports 'celebrities'.

Kirsten Rausing
£2bn Packing heiress
Kristen Rausing, who runs Lanwades stud in Newmarket, remembers her early
days as a stable girl and loves rolling up her sleeves. She inherited a stake in
the world's largest packing company from her father Gad, whose own father
invented the tetra Pak carton. Her stake in Tetra is now worth more that £1.9
billion. Unmarried, Rausing, 51, owns studs in England and Ireland and is a
director of the Jockey Club Estates. Niece to Hans, she is easily worth
£2billion.
This is more evidence of the links between Cameron and the bloodsports brigade and the whole mega rich rural lobby. I recently revealed how Cameron's Tory leadership bid was bankrolled by one of the main financial backers of the Countryside Alliance.
The link with the Rausings is yet more evidence of the huge mobilisation going on in the bloodsports fraternity in support of Cameron.
