H.Wilson Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 Craig David honoured for what exactly? I see that Nigel Farage has been missed off the list again Quote
megilleland Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 Note that Lewis Hamilton has been knighted for driving around in circles, that I am sure he does it very well. I am surprised that all our MPs have not been similarly knighted as they have been taking us mere mortals for a ride in circles for years. Quote

Harry Beynon Posted January 1, 2021 Report Posted January 1, 2021 The Honours System is a joke - Sir Jimmy Savile, Sir Philip Green? Now a knighthood for someone who refuses to live in the UK for fear of paying his full share of taxation. Quote

Victor Wright Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 I personally think this honours system is flawed and Lewis Hamilton receiving a knighthood come on! Maybe an OBE but knighthood? So Sir Tom gets a Knighthood for raising £32million for the NHS Then Lewis Hamilton gets a knighthood for hiding £32million from the NHS Quote
