Is this how corruption works in the UK?

It's alleged here that the UK honours system was used to benefit for a major donor; a CBE for a Saudi chap who supports the Prince's Foundation.

No different to giving a "gong" to somebody who makes their living singing or playing footy or driving a race car.

There's no corruption in Tory politics in the U.K. but it helps if you went to Eton.

What's the unifying trait for the U.K. Labour party?

Oh wait... a unified U.K. Labour party is a bit of an oxymoron.

How about the Freemasons? Or has that all gone by the wayside since the Millennials and younger don't bother with all that tosh?
