I'd be quite happy if these gongs were given out for a fixed period say 10 years after which they relapse.
For people to cling onto past glories for services rendered should be discouraged. Its seems no different from a Major or Captain keeping their titles way after they have retired and stinks of bull-sh!t.

Has he done anything illegal!
Has he been just accepted a pension that someone was stupid enough to give him?
Did he volunteer to give up some of that pension?
If his Knighthood was on merit, a subsequent business failure should not nullify his honour, otherwise all the knighted captains of industry would be sending them back.
He is just an easy target.

Sorry - but can someone explain why he should be stripped of his knighthood?
For having an affair?
Has he been convicted of something illegal? Depending on what it is, I could understand that - but an affair?
Should John Major have his ennoblement taken away after his affair with Edwina Currie?
Should Prince Charles have been stripped of 'His Royal Highness' after his affair with Camilla?

<<< clearly then the law exists only for the benefit of the super rich and powerful. so much for equality before the law and all that bullshine.>>>
I wouldn't have put it that strongly but your point is well taken, but it has ALWAYS been so weighted and always will be....that's life.
If you were suing me and i could afford a top QC but you could only afford a lesser known QC, who do you you think would start off with a "2 goal " lead?
Good on Sir Fred, if he can get a knighthood and £600,000 a year pension and all under a Labour Government........he deserves a knighthood for that alone ;-).
