British honors sale taints politics from Lloyd George era
The article catalogs Lloyd George's era when royal titles funds and baronetcies were sold for large sums, with prices from 50 000 for knighthoods to 500 000 for peerages, and notes abuses extending to ex-convicts and press bribery. It contrasts reforms by Harold Wilson and Edward Heath, and ends with a cynical comparison to American political financing.
