Good Morning.

tR: Cash for Honors? A couple of things come to mind. First thought is it's about somebody who makes large contributions to an organization to gain favor with them and put themselves in favorable light to receive an AWARD for the organization.

Being a Dirty Ole Lady,,, you can guess what my second thought was.

Good morning.

The cash for honors refers to the list the Queen gets to bestow the knighthoods, Orders of the British Empire (OBE), and so forth. the lists come from the PM's office, & if the names offered are in exchange for money, well: Voila! Scandal! They should awarded for achievement.

It's ayearly thing, and believe me, it's already on shakey ground even without the money thing...
