Sir Knight

[Bazile]

Should he lose his Knighthood ?

Do you think the queen says at the ceremonies -

'' have you read the terms and conditions , Mr xxxx ''?

Stock letter.

the serious question , is the first one

[mikey4444]

Yes, I think he should.

I understand that he was given the Knighthood for services to shopping but considering the bloody mess he left BHS in, and especially its workers and thier pension fund, any honour should be taken back pretty smartish.

[mikey4444]

Can I also add, that just in case Mike Ashley's name is lurking around somewhere and he is being considered for a knighthood for services to cheap shopping at any time in the future, Her Majesty might care to keep this clipping in the back of the drawer somewhere :::

well now. Did he go over to the dark side after he was knighted? Or was he operating there all along? If the latter, it would appear the Queen hasn't done due diligence. I sometimes think these Ks are dished out without anyone looking too closely at the recipient.

Yes, you too Sir Savile.

There is precedent. A few years ago a headmistress had her damehood revoked after being convicted of using the school's credit card for her own purposes.

What about Jeffrey Archer then, he's still a Lord, or is that different?

[mikey4444]

StP....an interesting question, which set me researching this morning !

In his Wiki entry, is the following ::

"On 21 July 2003, Archer was released on licence from Hollesley Bay after serving half of his sentence. Archer remained a peer, there being no legal provision through which it could be removed other than passing a new Act of Parliament.

He also retained membership of the House of Lords, which did not then have the power to expel members; however, Archer has not taken an active part in the proceedings of the House. Politically he is a non-affiliated member "

Not sure if that answers your question ! ....The Wiki entry makes for very intersting reading, as it leads you to wonder how he ever got into the Lords in the first place, given his track record :::

Should make them go and see the queen to have it taken off them as well. She should give them a ticking off and a smack on the bum with the sword to see them on their way the naughty little so and so's.

I think only peers can remove peers. As to how Archer became one: Tory party donor/activist. Cameron is about to announce his resignation honours list, I believe, so expect some more of those.

jno...you forgot to add ...criminal and serial liar to that list !
