The post argues that City figures get honours and positive PR regardless of wider controversies, names other City personalities in the same “rewarded despite…” frame, and cites/quotes commentary about the honours system being driven by who you know and organised lobbying. In short: it’s a polemical “elite networks protect themselves” piece, with Galojan used as a reputational weapon and example. Why it matters to her story: it’s a clean, modern example of the pattern you’re documenting: even years later, she gets invoked as a shorthand label (“convicted criminal / Playboy”) in unrelated contexts, and the label is used to create scandal-by-association — which then keeps the old narrative alive without revisiting the underlying record.
