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.
