Cameron's barber awarded MBE for 'services to hairdressing'

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... irdressing


	Quote: Downing Street came under fire over last week's honours, after awards went to one of Britain's most powerful spin doctors, who holidayed with Cameron, a businessman whose company donated to George Osborne's local party, and the Conservatives' new business ambassador, sparking accusations of cronyism in the system.

Just a coincidence of course.

It might have explained why so many women were honoured to take the attention away from the cronies in the list.

At least it was honest. What we have now is just as dishonest.

What a curious definition of honesty. It was a probable crime that never got prosecuted because there was no direct proof of conspiracy if I recall correctly.

Incidentally. If object A is 'honest', and B is 'equally dishonest' to A, then A and B are both honest. That's how equality works.
