BBC promotes Stuart Wheeler

According to this story

Mr Hamilton has now topped a ballot for elections to the party's NEC - whose members include MEPs, local officials and the party's Treasury Sir Stuart Wheeler, the former Tory donor.

It appears that the BBC think that Mr Wheeler deserves a knighthood. Now of course I agree, but I am surprised the BBC feel that way. That Mr Wheeler is UKIP's Treasury, nice thought but nothing so grand, merely the Treasurer.
