It looks like Simon Mann has been made the fall guy for the plot of the failed coup in Equatorial Guinea.( Another corrupt African state)
Mark Thatcher must have pulled a lot of strings to get out of this.

Also what has Thatcher done to deserve a knighthood. Apart from having a mother who was PM

It's a baronetcy- an hereditary knighthood. It was given to his father and will be inherited by his son.

He should have been given 99 years- but I don't begrudge him certain luxuries.

I'm agreeing with AIB, I think he was fully complicant in all of this, and would have stood to make a fortune, he got what he thought he would never deserve.
