We the undersigned…

‘…petition the Prime Minister to sell honours openly and use the money to complement the national lottery’s good causes. To make them accessible to all we suggest a starting price of a pound a peerage.

…

‘[T]hey should be sold at newsagents, from a dispenser next to the lottery scratch cards. That way anyone could walk up to the counter and ask for “Twenty B and H, a lighter and a Companion of the Order of the Bath please.”‘

    Lord Patel simply assumed his title and sent along £5 to new Labour Party Funds. No need to involve newsagents.

    The main , and perhaps only advantage accrues to lady Patel wjo can now very readily get an appointment at Rigby & Peller.

    If you’ve got a BA from Oxford you can get an MA for about twenty quid, so personally I don’t see the problem.

    Now that’s one hell of a good idea.
