"Rishi Sunak is facing criticism after a major Conservative Party donor was given a knighthood.
Businessman Mohamed Mansour, a senior treasurer for the party, has been honoured for his business, charity and political service.
Last year he gave £5m, at the time the party's biggest donation since 2001." (BBC News)

In a nutshell!pwa wrote: ↑27 Mar 2024, 11:31am The legality of the thing is one consideration, but the morality of it is another. I hate what Begum did, and even though she was young at the time I don't spend time agonising over her fate. But somebody somewhere has to have her on their territory, and why should we demand that it be another nation? She has created a mess, but it is our mess, nobody else's. Out of consideration for the people of the place where she currently is, I think we should bring her back to the UK. Not her for sake, but for theirs.

Re: UK Politics
I've just learned that Peter Bone,booted out of parliament for sex offences,was erroneously paid £5,600 severance pay for being a minister in the disasterous Truss government.Apparently he shouldn't have recieved the money because he was over 65.
He's now refusing to pay the money back on grounds of ageism.He's a multimillionaire apparently but it's the principle that counts....... .....yeah right,he'd know all there is to know about principals....

What with that and photo ID now needed to vote,there have been more Tory MPs done for sexual misconduct whilst in office than there have been people found guilty of voter fraud!
These people are the enemies of democracy!
But it could backfire as Universities respond by publicising the process for and advocating registration by students.

Such businesses are lead by hard working, driven entrepreneurs. These folk must be incentivised. Heavy taxation out of line with world norms incentivises them to take their ideas and businesses abroad elsewhere.
