Pardon dealing industry? In the UK?

I’m pretty sure only 4 pardons have been given in the last 25 years. 1 was posthumous (Turing) and the other 3 were given to convicts who saved people’s lives while incarcerated.

I don’t think being anti-woke is going to help anyone get a pardon in the UK.

I do think it’s a grift, just not convinced it’s a grift for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy.
