Cameron is making sure his premiership is remembered for cronyism

[barryqwalsh]

Among the Remain foot soldiers who have been put forward for an honour, knighthoods have been requested for Ian Taylor, a businessman who donated £350,000 to the campaign, and Andrew Cook, who put in £300,000. Those with less deep pockets have also been given a look in. Remain cabinet members Philip Hammond, Michael Fallon, David Lidington and Patrick McLoughlin are all nominated for knighthoods. In fact, when it comes to the In crowd, even the man responsible for the failed campaign — Will Straw — gets a mention. Straw, the son of Labour grandee Jack Straw, has been nominated for a CBE.

aren't knights meant to DEFEND the realm?
