Hard News: #JohnDotBanks and all, in reply to Hebe,
He defends his actions on a legal basis, rightly or wrongly.
If Banks knew who the donation came from, he's guilty.
Legally, not just morally. -
Interesting potential trickery to disguise donation sources. Let's see some journalistic digging about other instances of the same tactic of multiple identical amounts being filed in 2011 election returns. Doubt it was Banks' cunning plan.

Surely, advising them how to stay within the law
Nothing illegal about giving a donation. Asking someone to alter the way they do it for your own benefit could be interesting given that 'anonymous' relies on not knowing. Discussing the process with the donator makes that hard to claim.

Mr Banks says surely it's not against the rules
Hmm, advising people how to help break the law. But provably knowing where the donations come from is enough to make him guilty. Watch for smears agains Dotcom's reliability as a witness next.

Banks is an electorate MP, so they get a byelection rather than bring a list MP in. Epsom's finest again get to decide the nation's fate.
