Money always talks with politicians. Even porn money.
London, United Kingdom from www.allheadlinenews.com – – Tory Conservative Andrew Rosindell’s secretary has confirmed that he is sponsoring a dinner party dubbed “Erotica 2010” on October 2, to be held in the UK Parliament’s Members’ Dining Room. The dinner is being organized by his constituent and campaign contributor, Savas Christodolou [pictured], a night club owner and former accountant of the rock band, Pink Floyd.
The House of Commons’ Dining Room is exclusive only to members of parliament and may only be used for if an event is sponsored by a lawmaker like Rosindell.
After Rosindell’s secretary confirmed to London’s Sky News that he sponsored the event “as we would do with any other Romford-based business,” many were offended and opposed the idea.
This is the first time that British parliament is being used to host a dinner event for the adult entertainment industry. However Rosindell is unfazed and defends his action by claiming that, “It is a non-profit-making dinner and I would have done the same for any local business, charity or organization.”
Christodolou, owner of Erotica Ltd., a multi-million dollar adult entertainment trade show, Secrets Ltd. and the Buddha Lounge Nightclub, has previously been accused of distributing drugs and has also had calls for his license to be revoked.
In 2006, Rosindell disclosed that Christodolou made a donation to his constituency party but did not disclose how much was given.
“As far as I am aware, Erotica is a separate business. I have never been to an Erotica event, I am not interested in that kind of thing. I am not endorsing anything. I was simply asked to sponsor a dinner. I’m not even sure I will go,” said Rosindell.
After the banquet, guests are to proceed to an “After Party” on board the HMS President where guests change their formal attire to what is described in the event’s advertisements: ‘Enforced fantasy dress code. Dress up or be refused entry!
