I'm afraid that modern politicians, and possibly those in the past too, don't realise the irony in these matters. This is why MI5 has just had to warn our current MPs and aspiring politicians that a Chinese National that has provided then with funding which they believe originated with the Chinese government, and that she is actually gathering information for the Chinese government.
You would think that they would have known better and been briefed about these things, especially after the very recent experiences that they had with politicians in Australia being funded by another Chinese operative.
