Happens all the time. 'Political donation' is basically a polite word for 'bribe', and it shouldn't be legal, but it is.

But I am truly horrified at Philip Davies getting a knighthood. He is far closer to being a fascist than at all comfortable. I suppose it may be in part a consolation prize for someone likely to lose his seat, but argh!
